Less Money
Another issue was that Eric earned a lot less money than in his previous position. In fact, he took a step back in the structure of the firm, so the couple had to adjust to the new income. This brought many changes that they hadn’t anticipated!
Moving
They couldn’t afford to live in their house, so they moved to a cheaper and smaller apartment. Even though they left friends, Eric was at peace with the change. It was a small sacrifice to spend more time with his new baby and Jessica, though she had some issues.
