That was a parameter you did not include in the above description. I 
was thinking of "barely continue as they are now as a household" as a 
couple of years, until we've reached a new balance (which might 
include me getting a job), not until the kids reach majority. I was 
thinking of "How much so that you'd be genuinely un-worried?" as 
getting the kids through high school and possibly college.
