“But most importantly, we need to remember that whenever we pursue money and material gains there is a cost. When we work very long hours outside our homes (and inside as well, but that doesn’t generate income and that’s what we’re focusing on here) we take something away from our families. Many times we must work so hard and long because we need to put food on the table. Other times we must because we will lose our minds if we don’t have a break from the stresses of home. But we must always be careful to weigh the cost and benefits and feel comfortable that we are striking a balance. This is extremely hard because making money and having a job or career is emotionally complex and can be a large part of a woman’s identity. Still, we must get past this so that we never lose sight of what is lasting and what is fleeting.”
