The Frugal Girl

DECEMBER 11, 2023

My husband and I have four kids ranging from age 3-8, and I am a stay-at-home mom. Last year, to make a little extra cash, I started boarding dogs through Rover, and I am about to start a very very part time job using my RN license for a home care company.

I read Millionaire Women Next Door around the same time that I became a mother and left the full-time work force to stay at home with our new baby. It was a hard transition for me to go from being an equal financial contributor in my marriage to staying at home with a baby and not bringing in a paycheck.

We eventually alleviated the situation when I retrained for a high paying career and went to work full time (after those 10 years at home with the kids). If you have a big goal in life and don’t feel that your job is letting you work toward that goal, you won’t feel good about the work.
