School, Family, & Money

by

My husband has been in school since we married… well, even before we married… and we will have been married 7 years this fall. It’s only been a few weeks since he graduated and I’m really enjoying having him around. It still feels a bit weird to have him home every night and not in school, studying, or working on a project.

He was considering going back to school this fall to get a few more certificates and licenses that would allow him to take on larger side projects, and in turn, make us more money. While beach camping, lulled by the relaxing waves, we talked about his desire to continue on with his education. I admire him for always looking out for us as a family and keeping our finances afloat but I asked for a small break. Yes, I understand that my decision to request a delay in pursuing a specific license will have an immediate impact on our finances but, we’ve been hanging on without it for this long, we can hang on a few more months.

He’s going back…just not right now.

Best decision for our finances? Not a chance.

Best decision for our family? I think so.
