[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's context dependent. Assuming we can cover our bills my initial reaction is "whatever that line of work pays in the government at a GS-14/15-equivalent level" because I think that's a reasonable work/life balance job with decent benefits. But the discussion changes if that means the other spouse is trapped in a high-stress job because the first won't work more/aim higher, or if the spouse who wants to have a more leisurely job does the lion's share of kid/house work, or any medical or mental diagnoses are at play, etc.[/quote] +1 I have exactly the same view. My spouse may be taking a pay cut for just that reason, and that was pretty much how I thought about it when we were discussing just how much of a pay cut was a dealbreaker. [/quote]
