[quote=Anonymous]OP, this might depend on where DH is going and how carefully he researches his move. If it is a valuable government post where he does good work, meets people and gains experience, he can cash in on it when he leaves. But if he's just grasping at random staff attorney positions, maybe not. When I left a top firm, we curtailed some spending and vacations. DH stayed in BigLaw tho. Our kids were all public school then. We had a smaller mortgage, but this was 12 years ago. Yours seems pretty reasonable for today! I think that if you budget carefully, meal plan and aren't crazy shoppers, you can totally do this without dipping into savings.[/quote]
