    Good responses here everyone. What about the under 30 crowd with just a girlfriend/boyfriend at home? How do y'all do on the road? Like I said I have no kids, apartment, or new car. Just her place to come back to for a few days plus friends in this town that would let me crash on the couch if things got rocky with her ;) I'm not in it for the money- rather wanna see some states and get my experience for a better opportunity in the future. My local job I'm thinking is a dead end bc I'm driving a Class B truck.

    My biggest issue with money....

    Is when my wife makes me spend it. And she has been doing this more frequently as of late.

    This weeks argument (not really). I've been wanting a new tower, and putting it off for months. She's riding my ### now, insisting I buy the thing, and shut up.

    Well it would be a few years before I would go to school if I do, I make good money in a government job right now & have 10 years in toward my retirement but its not a job I love anymore so I would be happier doing something else.

    As far as the being prepared for how much time they would have my kids, our middle child is special needs & has spent a considerable amount of time in hospitals (hence my desire to become a nurse) & my parents have been known to keep our other two 24 hours a day for weeks at a time, so it couldn't be worse than that :) & before I get the "your crazy & don't know what your getting into" comments I know its going to be hard, im sure I don't completely understand how hard but we are commited to this decision & will make it work no matter how hard.
