Lara (not her real name) considers herself a workaholic. She used to juggle three jobs and did everything she could to earn enough to help her family live comfortably. That changed after the birth of her second child.
With daycare costs rising and two children under three, Lara chose to put her family first and became a full-time mom, while her husband continued working. The decision allowed her to be present for her children, but it also brought financial challenges, especially with three little ones to support.
