[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP nailed it. I have zero flexibility in my schedule to attend DS's events. DH does all conferences, pageants, and parents breakfasts, because he can go in an hour late without issue. I do all snow days and school breaks.[/quote]

My wife is a teacher and this is spot on. I have an extremely well paying, flexible job with awful benefits. So, I can work from home or work nights, handle appointments, class events, etc, but we have my wife's FCPS insurance that is fantastic. She's makes a quarter of what I do, but the insurance would cost 2K more a month if we got it through my employer. My wife also contributes 36K in retirement and another 7.5K in dependent care/med flex benefits. We also do another 8K in prepaid VA college plans.

So, while her check is a few hundred bucks a month and we basically live on my salary, we are saving tons for retirement and college and can afford good childcare for before/aftercare. With my own retirement plan savings (25K a year), we are actually in a position to retire in our early 50's with a sizable net worth. [/quote]
