Current income is around 40k. DH is out of work and is struggling to find something else, but my income means we're not poor by any means.
Problem is that my job is stressful, I've been very ill over the last year and with more restructures and budget cuts coming up, I'm worried I may get restructured out.
I've seen another job I could do, but the salary is in the late teens, so an income drop of over 20k. The only way we could survive on that amount of money would be to claim as much financial support as we can from the state, but part of me feels that wouldn't be right, when I have a job now that earns enough to support us.
So WWYD? Would it be unreasonable to take a huge step back off the career ladder for my health, even though I can't really afford to do it?
