[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. We both work in law. DH is working on many more complicated deals now which is why the hours are so bad. I am at a different firm that is also pretty demanding. Neither of us really has the ability to but back our hours and while I could take somewhat of a step back with less pay, I can’t find any firms that actually have that option. No one wants a lawyer who is only willing to work 40 hours per week. I have interviewed for in house jobs too in the past but nothing has been the right fit. I really don’t want to outsource more related to my kids because I want to be with them, which is my top priority in the mornings and after work until they go to bed. We need a good income because we have one in private elementary, eventually two, a nice house, nice cars, etc. we could certainly be a bit more frugal with cars and things, but not education. [/quote] This sums up working America. We live to work because we WANT so many things! Learn to live more frugally and you know what you get? Time and freedom. Invaluable commodities [/quote]
