Yes - I know this thanks to the year of my life I spent selling payroll services/benefits that I will never get back. I could have been a bit more clear that I wasn't lumping the two together.
And yeah my life is changing a ton, but if I can minimize the change as much as possible...
Personal choice as Apoc said. You can also meet in the middle if your wife is able at her job. My wife went 50% (20 hours and correspondingly 50% pay). We didn't want to give up her govie job as that affects her pension. Plus with her not working, there is no 401k matching and $18.5k from her contributions into her work retirement. At least for us, losing her income, plus having to make up for her work IRA and her personal IRA would cause a massive change in our lifestyle. AKA eating ramen.
