[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.   18:07, no, I don't want more prestige at work and I actually enjoy my time - and appreciate the flexibility.   I love my time with family - it is the highlight of my days.

I just worry that in 5, 10, 15 years will I regret not having pushed harder in my career to bring more money into the pot.

We are comfortable but I don't know that DH and I will ever be able to afford the private college education that DH got from his family or the support for my grad school education that I got from my family.  So I struggle with that and feeling like it's either time with my family or time with my job.  [b]Don't want my children to feel cheated.[/b]  [/quote]

PP here: it breaks my heart that anyone could possibly feel cheated by their parents prioritizing time with them when they were small.  Who knows what the state of higher education will be by the time they're ready for that; that bubble is long overdue for bursting.

It's cliche, but (for me, at least) there are far more important things than money.  Time with my children is one of them.[/quote]
