Simple Life, but Happy
10/23/2019


Hello Dr. Laura,

I am my kid's mom and my husband of 25 years girlfriend. In my twenties, I got married and had two beautiful boys. Every day I would drop them off at daycare and go to my cushy county job. I started listening to you at work and took to heart everything you said.

One night, I went home, looked at my husband and said, "I want to be a stay at home mom." He looked back at me and said, "ok." I did not think he would agree so easily.

Looking back at how much I would be earning now, how big my 401k would be, or how close I would now be to retiring all means nothing. We live a simple life, but we are happy. I would NEVER say I regret my decision to stay home. My boys are 21 and 23 now and doing wonderful. They are wonderful. I am so grateful to your voice coming out of my little radio at work and changing my life and the lives of my husband and children.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

Sherrie
