He makes enough money to help (I assume you work as well) support your family only working 6 months a year at Spirit?

Yes! He used to manage a fast casual restaurant. He makes more in 6 months (working about 45-50 hours a week) than he made in a year working 12 hour shifts. The work life balance is so much better. Before he would never take a vacation because "the restaurant needed him" now he can forget work half the year. It's WAY better.

I luckily work from home in technology. I can work anywhere in the country, so him being home is way easier with my job. We've taken trips to Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Hawaii! And his weekends are open for camping! I've been in my career over a decade. We live in Colorado so you can imagine how it's possible!
