[quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I just can't with the "I can't provide nice things with an HHI of $300k." We make just a bit less than that. I am a lawyer who lasted just over a year in BigLaw and hated every minute of it. Went to a smaller firm with "better work life balance," and it was, but still not enough for me. Now in a non-firm job and have been the whole time we have had children (now teens). We don't have a beach house or fancy cars and we don't vacation in Europe multiple times per year, but my kids have plenty of nice things and DH and I are both very actively involved parents. If being a dad is your #1 priority, focus on the stuff that matters. Hint: it is not the material stuff. (DH and I both grew up with much more money than we have now but dads we barely saw. We chose differently.)[/quote]
