[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I am so burnt out but we need the income so me leaving my job really isn’t an option.[/quote] Your family can't live on $500k? Half a million dollars? Please. [/quote] DH and I make way less than that for the last 10 years and still managed to put 2 kids through private 1st-12th (one is headed to private college full pay) + investment properties and good savings. We saved like crazy for the first 10 years when we made close to $500K but never over that. We still have the old super reliable SUV we bought 19 years ago + a hybrid family sedan. Never saw the need for fancy cars or purses, or jewelry. The biggest splurge, aside from kids' tuition is the annual week-long beach trip. You can do this. Hop off that hamster wheel before it is too late. You only have a few precious years with the kids and a lot of years after that to keep earning a living. [/quote]
