My husband and I are very lucky...my husband teaches school and I am a stay at home mom which means that we are both currently doing exactly what we want to do. Like I said, we are very lucky indeed. But around this time of year we notice (to put it delicately) that we aren't as well off financially as we would have been if we had chosen other career paths.
