I’m only 23, not married, but talking about it with my boyfriend. He just started working in the real world as an attorney is very nicely compensated. We bought a house and the wedding conversations are very serious at this point. I am currently enrolled in a graduate program for human resources, and I’m "paying" for it myself (= LOTS of loans). I know it’s a bit forward looking, but I do want to have children one day and I’m struggling with the choices that I am making now that might affect this. I am investing a lot of money into an education that I may not ever get a good return on. I want to be a stay at home mom if possible.
What would you do? – Stay in grad school and incur ,000 of debt and force yourself to work OR quit grad school, get a job, starting saving big time and work up until you have your first child?
ALSO, any moms out there with an opinion on being a working mom or a stay at home mom… any advice? I’m really having a hard time with this choice.
I know kids are not something we are ready for right now, but one day in teh future 5 – 6 years I’m thinking, but I worried about the HUGE debt I’m getting myself into so I can work for a few years, it seems like wasted money sometimes, not all the time, just half.
