Life Happens Everyday
Have you ever thought about what you would do about your career when you decide to start a family? Are you going to continue your job and your spouse will stay home or are both of you going to continue your jobs? This will help you decide what will be the best fit for you and your spouse or significant other, a one-career household or the two-career household. Money, time, and attention to the important people in your life will impact you the most when considering a one-career or a two-career household.
When it comes to your family, the decisions that you make affect your daily lives. One of those decisions would be a one-career household. Some would say that having a one-career family household would be ideal. A one-career household would offer less money in your pocket, more time with your family, and more attention to the people that matter the most.
When you have a one-career family, money could be a little tighter than usual. Having a budget is a must. Budget your money correctly and you will have less financial responsibilities. Money will have to be focused on the needs rather than the wants. You may have to give up on the extra things to be able to save money for the right occasion, but it will be worth it when you need the money most.
You will have a plethora of time when you only have one primary provider. A parent will be able to support the child any time they need help. While the children are at school all of the cooking and cleaning can be done without interruption so when both parents are home they can focus on family time. It is hard to work around everyone’s schedule, let alone extracurricular activities for the children, but with one parent staying home it will allow more flexibility with scheduling your children’s playtime.
Everything in life needs some type of attention whether it is your relationship with your family, friends, your home, car, or pets. Having a one-career family will allow you to focus your attention where it is needed. There will always be someone to help your child with homework or to take them to that epic football game or ballet recital, while still having time for the alone time needed for you and your special someone.
Others would say that there are many upsides to having a two-career family household. A two-career family household would offer you more money to do things, some family time, and attention when necessary. Luxuries in life do have their advantages.
Money with a two-career family household is a great benefit to have. Having two incomes will allow you to be able to save money faster than with just one income. The more money you have the more responsibilities you have. That amazing NFL football game you want to go to with your son will be no problem when you have two incomes.
Time is very important, so you need to plan your time properly. When you do have both parents with full time jobs it can be difficult to always have a full time parent with the children at all times. When both parents are home it is all hands on deck to be able to get chores and activities done in a timely manner. You do not always have the time needed to give everyone the one on one attention that they deserve. So make sure you use your time wisely.
Attention can sometimes be scarce when it comes to a multiple career family. Whether it is the animals, children, or even your spouse, giving attention to everyone is crucial. You are more likely to let things slip through the crack, like your children’s homework when your focus is not where it needs to be. Attention to all the little details can be hard to keep track of when it comes to a two-career family. Just remember do your best to give everyone the attention they need every day.
Now that we have weighed the pros and cons of the one and two-career families and how this may affect you, it should be easy to decide how the next step in your new life will play out. You should be confident in the decisions that you make with your money, time, and attention to the important things in your lives. Remember your decision is ultimately going to affect more than one person. So go out there and get started with your new adventure.
