Throw a kid in the mix.... and you'll find yourself needing more money i bet.
Which goes back to my national neutering campaign :X
and you are 100% correct on that mark.
if my wife came to me and told me she was pregnant, i would be getting another job. quick.
either another to supplement my current one, or i would get a different job to replace my current.
no matter what, i would make the extra money needed and secure benefits for health coverage.
im in a position right now that i wouldnt mind another job, but i dont absolutely need one, so i can pass up jobs that i dont really want.
i can be selective, i make enough to cover what needs to be covered, and if needed, i could find another job.
easy.
it may not be a job that i would like, but it would be a job. im not too good for a job if i need money. i'll flip burgers, or follow horses and clean up shit. i dont care, i'll do what needs to be done to put money in my pocket.
