[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse earns $500K and I $250K or so. We both are in tech, My DH lost his job 2-3 years ago, and he could take time to find a new job in 4-5 months. Now I am out of job, but there is very little pressure to find a new one quickly. I work to accelerate our earnings and fast track our retirement. Plus jobs in tech are not stable, so I force both of us retiring together in early to mid 50's once kids are in college and college is paid for.[/quote] And yes, I feel our lifestyle is better. We can comfortably save for retirement, take vacations, outsource some of the household stuff. Had nannies when my kids were little who helped with household chores. I would be stressed if only one of us has a job in our prime earning years. Although I can see a rationale for one of us switching to a government job that is stable. Ageism is real in tech, so might as well work and save while you can.[/quote]
