I feel that I'm in the crossroads right now wondering if I should break free from my rigid work routine and stay home to deal with family more. It is very tough as my husband is trying to launch a startup and not making an income. We are all relying on my income to live. If I slow down (which my health and kids situation are indicating that I should do), then we will be coasting mostly on our savings for the next year or two (we're able to get a little bit of income through consulting projects). That will be a big blow to our next egg. At the same time, I'm hopeful that the startup will take off at that time. For us, it's all about facing this risk right now and dealing with it head on. I hope to have the same story as you 5 years from now and say how we took the road less traveled... Thanks for the mention as well! Your story about your daughter and your family is very inspiring.

I look at pictures from just five years ago, and it’s amazing how much she’s grown and matured. And it reminds me of a decision I made at that time to leave a high paying, prestigious job for a lower paying and very ordinary job so that I could spend more time with my family.
