Should I leave my $200K job for family time and peace of mind, despite my husband's high income?
Briefly

A Reddit user is contemplating quitting her $200,000 job to spend more time with her family, given her husband’s substantial $600,000 income. With a net worth of $3.5 million and yearly expenses of around $150K, the family has financial stability. However, her husband’s income is not stable, and she fears that leaving her job could compromise their future financial goals and her earning potential. Additionally, personal concerns about her health and family history make her anxious about long-term planning, complicating her decision further.
Considering my husband’s fluctuating income, I worry that leaving my job could compromise our financial stability and my future earning potential. I look forward to spending time with my kids, but there's a lot at stake.
Once I leave the workforce, how would my financial situation change? I fear that I might regret quitting if my husband's income doesn’t remain steady, or if something unexpected happens.
