[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, that was a terrible idea for him to take a paycut to move to DC. Agree with PP, you will need to get a job. 70K is barely livable for a family of 4.[/quote] Not necessarily. My DH took a huge paycut - close to 50%- when he became a fed. It's been worth it a million times over. He quickly moved up the GS scale. Plus, he has better retirement benefits, flexibility, job security, and most importantly job satisfaction as a fed. We had to live frugally for a few years, but it was certainly worth it.[/quote]
