Stay-at-home mom reignites her career after she finds out her husband has a secret savings account with $45,000: 'I need to safeguard myself if he is hiding money from me'

Stay-at-home moms don't get enough credit. Unless forced, many moms choose to be with their babies, and that's not only a privilege but a huge sacrifice for their careers. Putting their jobs on hold for years at a time can jeopardize their futures, but instead, they choose to forge lasting bonds that their offspring will never forget. On one hand, you have financial security, and on the other, a repertoire of nurturing memories that will last a lifetime. The choice is obvious… 

A woman was forced to make a crucial decision about her and her baby's future. After finding out her husband was siphoning off thousands in cash every month into a secret bank account, suddenly their financial trust was broken, and she no longer felt secure in her stay-at-home mom sacrifice. To protect her child and prioritize her career, she decided to go back to work. 

Fighting the gap on your resume is a tough choice that many moms must face, but this woman decided that it was more worth it to protect her baby's future than to rely on a man with a secret savings account of "his own" money after they'd decided to pool funds.
