[quote=Anonymous]I also earn half of DH but have the health insurance for our family (no pension though). The insurance through my company is dramatically better than what we could get via DH’s job. We are in a similar earning bracket to you, OP and I am OK being mommy tracked. I still work 40+ hrs/wk but not the 60 I would in a higher earning role (and that I worked before having kids). There is diminishing marginal utility of money. Not that we have like “FU” cash by any means, but I also am not feeling the pinch of inflation in the same way as I know many Americans are. I would take quality time with my kids after school, or the mental health of less stress, over an extra $100k — and I realize that is an extremely, ridiculously privileged statement to make. But I think you are probably in the same boat. [/quote]
