[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any ways you can cut expenses? Cars, vacations, house cleaner, cable, lawncare....?[/quote] We drive 10 year old Toyotas and need two for commute. No cable and only streaming is Disney+, no lawncare, we live like grad students albeit with kids and no Uni department events to sneak food from. Housing, camps in summer are huge and vacations are modest but add up but really want to avoid cutting that (spouses preference, would rather work job that hates rather than give up vacation). House is a 40s sht shack, but location is close to work with decent schools no easy fix there.

How much are you paying for sibling? If you really need a side gig, would you be qualified to tutor, especially in math? You could easily clear $40/hr and it’s flexible and these days everyone is doing zoom tutoring. [/quote] It’s a drop of $100k to go GS15, so we need to make that up somewhere. [/quote]
