[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much $$ do you feel your partner would have to make for you to feel comfortable giving up your job?[/quote] My spouse makes $150K, and I stay home with one school age and one younger child. We live in a close-in DC suburb. We are thrifty but live comfortably, travel, etc. We save money nearly ever month, invest, etc. We have a life insurance policy for him, and most of our accounts are joint or in my name. [/quote] With college pushing 100k per year, staying home on 150k seems irresponsible. [/quote] Unlike PP, I have no judgment on the responsibility of someone else's financial decision. But I agree that $150k would be tight for us. My husband makes all in, a bit over 300 so we are fine for the time being, although I'll probably go back at some point to contribute. You can never have too much for retirement or college. [/quote]
