How do you think the economy will affect decisions by women to stay at home versus work? With so many people losing jobs, do you think more women will be forced back into a job to help out (or take over) family finances? Is SAH parenting

Oh, it doesn't "really" stink. We are lucky enough to have all we need and most of what we want, and we will probably have to cut back on both saving and charitable giving this year, but it's not going to seriously affect us personally. My older one is talking about possibly going to public high school next year; and while I have mixed feelings about that, it will be like a 250 dollar a week raise if that does happen....

while I"m not nuts about either the catholic middle school or the public middle school options for the girl in 2 years I think she'll go to the public school and that will be a big chunk of change that her dad and I will save too!

I guess it all depends on what you consider "big" money.

According to at least one poster here, though, that is not the case.

Taxable? What do you think it is, a magnet given to volunteers as a token of appreciation?
