[quote=Anonymous]My family dropped from $350k HHI to $250k HHI when I left a law firm to join DOJ. It didn't affect our lifestyle one iota -- we spent about $100k per year after taxes both before and after the switch. The only thing that changed is we squirrel away less money now but we're much happier. On the other hand, if you're spending most of your $600k HHI, then yeah I think it'd be painful to slash that in half. FWIW, I think $100k (after taxes) goes pretty far in DC and affords a really nice lifestyle for a family. We go to nice restaurants and enjoy nice vacations. (Went to Italy this year and Austria last year). [/quote]
