Dropping wife to work and adjusting to new role

Its Monday morning and my first day to help my wife.

Its 6:30am, I wake up as my wife's alarm clock goes off. I jump out of bed make a quick breakfast for her. Sarah goes to the shower and gets ready. I walk to the bedroom and she has picked her clothes out. I proceed to iron them and set them neatly so she can wear them once shes done with the shower. 

She comes out of the shower with her hair still wet, changes quickly and goes back in the bathroom to do her morning routine and make up.

7:20 am: Sarah eats her breakfast with her son. 

7:45 am: I carry her laptop bag and we go to her car. She sits in the passenger seat, put on the local FM radio and I drive her to work. 

8:30 am : We reach her office. I kiss her goodbye and wish that she has a great day at work. 

That went smoothly I thought and wasnt too bad. Now I just have to wait for her her text message in the evening for me to come pick her up. 

Its a 30 to 45 minute car commute and she saves money by not having to pay money for parking.

House husband role is new to me

Its weird and at the same time nice to wake up late and not have an alarm clock set. I'm getting used to this routine.

I get my coffee and check facebook and other websites and proceed to read the news online.

I quit my job and I'm scared

Hi, I'm Nathan and I quit my job as a IT Manager today. I am 35 years old now and have almost saved no money. I just feel very sad, bit hopeless and scared at the same time. But at the same time relieved that I dont have to relive the stress of my day to day job and office politics. I have shared my thoughts with my wife in the past and she has been very supportive of me. She wants me to follow my passion and not be miserable in a job I don't like. 

Where I live

I live in Toronto, Canada.  at my wife's house, drive her car.

My Wife

My wife is Sarah who I have been with for the last 3 years. She works as a CPA in a Big 4 accounting firm making six figures.
