You definitely need to make time for your family. Otherwise, you could lose the thing that is most important in life. Working 6 days and nights a week sounds like too much!!

I'm sure you two will enjoy the new time you have together. You will eventually pay down that debt, and if I were you I would have made the same decision. No reason to rush it if it means you will only see each other one day a week. That’s great! I’m sure you two will enjoy the new time you have together.

Money is often at the root of marital problems, as I know from sad experience. It's great that you have a nice balance as well as affection there. You might be the exception, though. Reported today that one in five Americans are seeking a second job (moonlighting) to make ends meet, and we see student debt, as well as parental debt to fund college education, increasing relentlessly. Kudos to you! Glad I stopped in today. Money is often at the root of marital problems, as I know from sad experience. It’s great that you have a nice balance as well as affection there.

No one can life at full throttle all of the time, but I would say do it on and off. While the extra work can be beneficial, the payoff of having him around can be even greater It’s a give and take.

While having debt is something to get away from, and avoid when possible, we get one go at life. And there really are far more important things than getting one's debt paid off as quickly as possible. If you bypass a payment, you get another chance to get back on track. If you bypass life, you don't get it back. Better to slow down in some areas, than throw away others. I agree with you completely, Beks.

I have to stop and make those kids of decisions. I faced one last week that your post reminded me of. Hubby needed new brakes on his van. He was contemplating doing them himself. He's not a car person, only chane his own oil once (and the jack fell. Thanskfully he was not under it). He' always been hesitent as trying a new project himself, fearing that if he messed it up, it would cost more to fix it. I told him we should just take it to our regualr mechanic. This is a departure for me. My Dad is a do-it-yourselfer. He built himself a go cart from a lawn mower when he was 8. He and his dad took on mny home projects (Grandpa was a mechanical engineer). But we would not easily operate with one car. Hubby does not have experience with basic car repair and could not have "winged it". I think that is a wise move.

It's especially true when you're on difference pages about what to do with the debt. It's no wonder that 50% of marriages end in divorce. The good thing is that you and yours seem to be on the same page and if you can meet up every so often it'll be a nice "break" from not seeing each other.
