[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on number of days/month of travel and if there is any extar vacation he is accumulating that you can perhaps use more frequently. and if you see any big expenses coming up that you can cover for: house? private school?[/quote]

DH is basically using his accrued vacation to do this second consulting job. Instead of going on a summer vacation, he is using the time to do the consulting work.

DH normally earns about $250k per year. He has earned about $200k extra from this consulting role in the past 7 months. The consulting role will probably only last for another 1-2 years. DH thinks he should just milk it and save the money.

We have no large expenses coming up.[/quote]

Depends, then. Do you work? Is it hurting your family or just making him busier? What is the downside? Just that he has no free time?

1-2 years is not bad at all. I'd totally have DH do this and bank the money in a college or emergency fund. And take a great vacation after the 1-2 years are up and the consulting goes away.[/quote]
