[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is the lifestyle spending, which is fueling the hamster wheel. Private school is what, 40-50K per kid? If OP and her husband could agree on public, that alone could free her to find a more family friendly job, assuming all their other income is currently allocated to other things. But I'm sure it's possible to stop spending elsewhere if you look. Consumer spending on expensive cars and the like should be the first to get cut IMO.[/quote] right? totally baffling. I’m positive that the public schools in Bethesda and McLean are full of equally wealthy families. What OP needs to do is tell her DH she’s getting a lower paced job with no evening hours, then work out the budget. She’ll not even making much money now for the hours she works, so it shouldn’t be that hard to do. OP will still face the iniquity of being the spouse of a law partner, but much better to do that working 40 hrs/week instead of 50. [/quote]
