I'm a little nervous but I also feel good about this decision! I'm letting my full-time (plus sometimes!) job go to become a very very very part-time (20hr/wk) worker. Fortunately my position within the hospital pays very well and even with dropping to a very part-time position I still have medical/ dental benefits and a pension. If I cut some luxuries out completely or at least lower the many “packages” to basic services- internet, cell, land line, cable, general unaccountable spending along with cutting my car payment by buying a cheaper car outright once my lease is done this spring (my current car is a totally impractical 2 door, gas guzzler, not a mommy mobile at all) then it's very doable.
I've made this choice for a few reasons but mostly because I’m having a terrible time juggling being a full-time mom who’s also working out of the house full-time…been doing this nasty juggle for over 18 years now and I need to slowdown and focus on what’s really important. I haven’t been happy for what seems like forever and neither have my boys with this fast paced lifestyle. So for me this wasn’t to save money on daycare, gas, work clothing etc. it was made to save my sanity and to make me feel and BE a better mother, housekeeper and well basically a better person.
I’m also very fortunate that I do work in a hospital environment and if I decide that I want to beef up a few pay cheques because we to do a little extra something I can mark myself as available for extra shifts and if they need me they’ll call I’ll work and that’s that.
So kiss off Joneses LOL and let the simple life begin!
