Should financial help come before mental and physical health?
So very short and to the point. My man got a job. Very long and early hours. But the whole time it has been very mental on the whole family involved. Even in our child. I am getting very little sleep because of this. Our child is worse off because of it. Man is stressed out all the time and has no time to be a father. So should we keep going to make others happy because we now have " more money". Which the money isn’t worth the hours in our minds.
The question is…can your family live on less money?
What if the car breaks down or the furnace or a major appliance?
Do you have a safety net for emergencies such as car or home repairs?
If you can live on less then do it.
Personally I would stay at the better job for a few months, build up a a bank account as a safety net. Then change jobs to one with less hours and less money.
Also you could get a part-time job at night to bring in some extra cash?
Dad could use that alone time while you are working to bond with the kids and still have weekends for family time with you and the kids.
