[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that if you're making $300k with a stable schedule and great benefits, it's kind of sad that you were sitting around thinking how much better your brother and his wife had it. When most people talk about the public/private tradeoffs they're talking about trading stability and flexibility (but economic struggles) for a chance at something closer to $300k in the private sector, not for a slight bump up the UMC ladder.[/quote] This. We're a dual Fed household at about the same HHI as you and LOVE it. We both have a lot of flexibility in our schedules (which aren't crazy long hours, either), do meaningful, challenging work, plus the benefits, stability, etc. We can adequately save for our retirement, our kids' college funds, and don't really want for anything. How is that not awesome?[/quote]
