With the upcoming school year and with the current state of life (social distancing/virus) we don't know what is next.
Our school district is experiencing a 40mil cut. The Superintendent sent out an email saying their are going to be changes staff cuts, bigger class sizes, and more. As a parent is it responsible to send the kids to school if kids have to wear masks all that goes into social distancing. Second even if we decide the risk is minimal to the kids and they are better off going to school making friends and having a trained teach instead of more home school; what about after-school care.
We sat down and had a real look at the finances and options to come. It was a tough night that revealed we have very different long term goals for our finances and very different definition on being financially independent. But that is ok. We now both know where each stands and we can work to be on common grounds. More to come.
