For those of you that remember, my husband and I agreed that her would step down from his managers role due to stress and not much family time.
He is now at a store 10 minutes from home, we have dinner as a family nearly every night. We have a roster that is a month in advance, no call outs in the middle of the night. But the best thing of all is my husband is a much happier man. Friends and family are noticing too. Financially we are doing fine. So glad we made the change

  • This is so great to hear. My husband is a store manager and drives 1+ hours each way on country roads in the dark to get to and from work. It’s a stressful enough job without the travel and we are hoping he can soon relocate to town. There is a store we can see from our house that would be perfect and so good for the kids!


    • That’s what my husband was travelling. I hope he gets to relocate soon

  • Congratulations on choosing happiness and family time over money, my husband did the same a few years ago when we had kids, and although at times money is tight it is the best thing we ever did.
