Amber, we live in Colorado too! It's SO expensive!! We have five kids and two on the way, our grocery bill is almost as much as our mortgage, it's crazy. We stay afloat okay now, but struggled for many years to get where we are now. Lots of praying has helped us over the years--God has thankfully always provided for us just what we needed.

My husband and I both work in finance. He's a bond analyst at an investment firm and I am a portfolio manager/financial advisor working in private wealth management. We work at really great company's in CT so we make a good amount of money. I don't need to work financially but since we have no kids yet I can't justify staying home and doing nothing. I may become a SAHM once the baby arrives but we'll see.

My Husband is cell phone tower technician/climber. I own a busy dog grooming salon. Usually Ill work full time for a couple weeks and then take a break to be with the kids or I split it up.

I'm mostly a SAHM, but still do graphic design a little from home and that's my play money I spend judgement-free ?. DH is Vice President (that sounds so obnoxious but it's a smaller company) for a logistics company. He started out there as their sales manager a few years ago.

I'm a business systems analyst for a bank (I work in technology). My husband is a CPA for a local gas and oil company. Seriously thinking about not going back to work after baby #2, but we shall see! It's definitely interesting to see what diverse careers the ladies in this group have though

I work in an ER..however I will be switching jobs to become a rehabilitation specialist. My husband drives for UPS and hits top pay in 6 months. So we are pretty fortunate. Seeing as though the D.C. area is pretty expensive?.

I work in retail as a visual merchandiser (part-time) & my husband is an accessory fitter at a large car yard (full-time). We do well most of the time, but struggle now & then with bills ect. We have two children, One at high school & in primary. We don't need to pay for child care as I'm home in time for them in the afternoons.

My husband is a pastor and I work part time as a nurse. I'd love to quit my job and focus on my clothing business that I run out of my home, but we need the medical benefits from my job. I'm not willing to live without good health insurance for us and the kiddos.

My fiance and I both are contractors at FEMA. We do pretty well. His parents also rent our basement and watch the kiddos while we work

Dang I don't even want to put our occupation down. Seeing y'alls jobs . I dont know how we make it with 3 kids lol I guess blessings.

My SO works in a factory that builds portable sawmills, I work in an office I do medical billing for an ambulance company and I go to school part time on top of chasing my 3 year old around.

My husband recently got his own route (finally!!) he is a ups driver. He has 1 more year before he goes up a pay bracket. He typically works from 9am to 6pm. Monday-friday. Off weekends. We do ok financially sometimes its tight. It will be better when he reaches the next pay bracket. I am a sahm to 2 kids and well soon to be 3.

So many differences! We,live,in,Colorado and its expensive here. Both of us are looking into new jobs and I'm also getting into school so my,curiosity had me wondering what you all do

I'm a stay at home/homeschooling mom, husband is a chief sales officer of a landscape company.

My husband owns a construction company and I'm a SAHM. We do well!

I'm an ER doctor and my husband is a pilot for a major airline. We are in our mid/late 30s, having spent the better part of our 20s working hard to get where we are today!

I'm an associate director at a university and my husband is a fire lieutenant. I also own a photography business that I launched last spring. We do well; I'm thinking about quitting after baby. It would mean a lifestyle adjustment but would be worth it. We live in northern Colorado so cost of living is pretty high...we currently don't pay for childcare tho, so that isn't a benefit to me quitting. My mom retired and watches both kiddos full time.

I work as a VA for a blogger couple based on the US. My husband works the night shift for a US company as well (office-based). We have 2 schooling kids and as of now our earnings are enough for our growing family.

My SO is a truck driver (in town) and I work at a hospital. Both f/t.

My husband is a financial advisor/investment consultant and I am a SAHM.

I'm an elementary music teacher and my husband is a wedding videographer

My husband is the financial officer for a our city's service dept. I'm in sports medicine. We do pretty well.

My SO works in a siding factory and I work at a grocery store. We manage pretty well I'd say.

My SO works days (some days up to 10/12 hours) at a restaurant. He brings home about $650 after taxes every two weeks. I work at a hotel and make about $450 twice a month after taxes. We live in a 2 BD. We have 3 boys and are expecting our 4th boy. So we'll need a bigger place. For now it's good. We pay $695 for rent. Our light comes out to $80. Our car is $366. We struggle from time to time but it's not impossible. Oh and we have a friend watch our 3 boys and he charges us $40 a week. Which is not bad at all.

What do you all,do for work? Or how does,your family make money generally?
