I'm in my early thirties and my husband and I own our own home and earn good salaries. Our discomfort comes when we look ahead. Working your way up in a corporate setting is not a ladder, it's a pyramid, and there are only so many positions available for promotion and increased earning. My husband is choosing to start his own business, and he's willing to put in the hard work. I'm a little stuck, not sure if I want that next promotion, or a step down for a little mo life balance.
