You don't have a HHI.

marriage doesn't make a household. If PP has any sense he or she will never marry and pay the marriage penalty I do.

so I once went on two dates with a girl whose Dad was a Billionaire. She was to inherit half or around 500 million. Already in a trust. Wish I knew my net worth grew by $500 million when we were on the date. I would have felt great.

Internal Audit. You might be surprised how much heads of internal audit departments make. I know a few who make between 500K and one million a year.

It's weird having this high of a HHI all of a sudden. We are incredibly lucky.

Does your husband work ridiculous hours, leaving him with scant time for family, exercise, or hobbies?

He did for years. Since he has made partner, his life is much better. He's usually home by 6:30 and puts kids to bed (though admittedly logs on at night fairly often)

That sounds miserable. DH has a really busy week at work last week and was logging back on from home until 9 pm. It's fine as an occasional thing, but it really sucks to barely see your spouse and for him to barely get time with the kids during the week. Also, I like that DH has time to go to the gym and stay in shape. The money trade off would totally not be worth it to me when you can still live comfortably on much less.

I hope your DH is able to find some better work life balance soon.

NP- Are you for real? If you're not a troll, I just can't believe there are people in this world who are so transparent.

NP. Why would you think that person is a troll? It isn't crazy for someone to say they don't want to work those hours, particularly if they can still make a solid living (however they define it) working better hours with less stress.

DH is an income partner, so making a bit less than a third of what your's makes, but still a shit ton of money. If he can have a reasonable life as an income partner (a very big if), he might prefer that to the hours and pressure of an equity partner even if that meant double or more money. If he does make equity, I could very much see him doing it for a relatively short time while we stockpile money and then he moves to something saner. We live well below our means now, so I would like to think we would keep doing so if he got a big raise so we could keep our flexibility.
