Hard times ahead

My wife's been suffering from stress for the better part of a year, mostly due to unbelievably difficult conditions where she works. This week, she finally reached the breaking point, announcing her intention to leave. I applaud her decision, having advised her many times to take this step. Now that she's actually done it, perhaps her stress level will decrease. In the meantime, an already tight budget situation will obviously become tighter. Still, it was the only decision that made sense.
