Your Life Is More Than Just a Set of Numbers
My husband and I are trying to contemplate of him taking a new job. However, it would be a very temporary thing paid cut, and then there would be some changes to my career as well.

I hope so. So a little background. My husband has been a firefighter paramedic at his current position for the last nine years, making anywhere between $81,000 and $86,000 a year. I myself am an ER nurse and make about the same. So the offer has come down the table for his dream job at a different department. Also in the state that's actually a little bit closer to our family.

However, the training period is about five and a half months. So he would start out at around $62,000 for that five months. And we've contemplated myself staying home from work to take care of our two kids during that training period. So we just want to kind of see if our finances can handle it.

So it's a stepwise process. So after that initial training, it will bump up around $75,000. And then after a total of 42 months, he'll be making $97,000 a year. So it would actually be more than what we're at right now.

It's a little bit more expensive backed by our family. However, we're trying to purchase a family property through an informal probate. So we have a property in mind that we're

Is there structure on it? That's very wise.

Childcare and things like that. It gave me some pause.

Our mortgage is $600 a month, and then we did go through Financial Peace University in the first few baby steps, so all the debt that we have is just the house.

So he would probably stay with his parents because the commute then would be much closer than it would be in our current home. So that's why we're contemplating me staying home with the two kids so he's not driving three hours one way every single day.

My plan would be to – I've been applying for some remote positions, just for during this training period, but I would plan to go back to work after the training period. If we could get some help from our family and stuff like that, I would absolutely go back to work.

Child care is quite expensive where we're at.

We are still trying to work that out with my family beneficiaries. Oh, boy.

When it was last appraised, it was around $268,000. Okay.

No. It's very livable. It's more so some cosmetic things and maybe adding on a garage. Okay.

Who cares what happens when there's so much that happens?
We Can Do Hard Things
Are Old Women Really Irrelevant?
Okay, let's hear from Casey. Hi, Glenn and Abby and Amanda. My name is Casey and I'm a huge fan of the podcast. I've been listening since you started and I just had a question for you. I was listening to the episode on confronting crisis with compassion and it came up a lot, the idea of needing to process emotion. I was wondering what do you think that actually means? How do you process emotion?

Because I think what I normally do is what you all sort of described as like jumping straight into action. Glennon, you were talking about calendaring out the treatment plan for Amanda and that not really being processing emotion. So I'm just wondering what does processing emotion mean and how do you do it? Thank you so much.
