[quote=Anonymous]OP - you are not giving financial specifics which makes it hard to give specific advice. How much is outstanding on your mortgage and is your DH’s salary now sufficient that you could target paying that off before he transitions to a fed or lower paying job. Life without a mortgage is very liveable in the DC area on a lawyer fed salary. I also agree that it is not as easy as some thinks to get a high paying fed lawyer job, so you may have some time to work on this. You also can work on getting a fed lawyer job, I have a good friend who left biglaw associate job, did sahm for a number of years, then went nonprofit and then went fed. It can be done and probably with less effort than your husband is currently putting into his job. Good luck, change is hard. The family time is totally worth it in my opinion. I am part of a two fed attorney family doing just fine (350HHI) and we didn’t have the years of biglaw partner money to create the cushion you do.[/quote]
