Since you are an engineer, if you can at all, try to get yourself hired on at one of the oil fields on the North Slope of Alaska, somewhere like Kuparuk or Prudhoe Bay. They are starting a big gear up and many of the companies are starting to hire. Wages up there are well above the norm, benefits are good, and you live on site in the barracks for free, and they feed you for free. If you can get hired on there, there is no need to have a second household and you will be able to get your focus onto supporting one home. Plus schedules are usually of the 2 on 2 off, 3 on 3 off, or 4 on 2 off variety, so you would be able to go home and spend that time with your family.
