(d) The economic circumstances of each party at the time the division of property is to become effective including:

(1) The desirability of awarding the family home or the right to live therein for reasonable periods to a party with whom the children reside the majority of the time; and

(2) The desirability of ensuring that both parties’ ability to continue working in their chosen field or livelihood is not unreasonably jeopardized;
