[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in SS, in a shitshack with a very nice addition.  No plans to move, but may eventually move to be closer to DW's job.  In any event, the move probably wouldn't be much of an upgrade.  I'm not interested in increasing our living standards - law is pretty cutthroat and I assume I could be unemployed next year. Save, save, save. [/quote]

Congratulations and smart move, at least for the next couple of years as you become accustomed to the weight of your new partner status.  Save your money, build your book, but don't neglect your young family.  If you fall into the trap of networking all the time (like your new partners are likely doing), you'll then try to make up for it by buying conveniences to substitute for your efforts on the home front.  Your wife will start resenting your absence, even though you'll think that you're doing everything needed to keep things on an even keel.  She married YOU, not a law firm partner.

And one more thing, don't forget about your health.  Another 10-15 pounds will easily catch up to you, along with high blood pressure (stress) and higher cholesterol.[/quote]
