[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who make $450k and above HHI: Do you have time to spend breakfast, dinner and weekends with your children? My only consolation from not earning 3 times what I earn is that I get to work a relatively strict 40h workweek with typical fed vacation time, and can contribute to raising my children.  I do realize that daycare does most of the raising, but I can't see a job where our HHI would pop over $300k and we'd still work simple 40 h workweeks.[/quote]

If it makes you feel better, DH only sees the kids on the weekend. But I SAH so they're not completely missing out on parental interaction.[/quote]

Yeah- that would depress the fuck out of me.

We make less than half - about $200K per year, but b/c we're both teachers, we see the kids after school and have them all summer long!  We have our nanny do morning care b/c we both leave very early for work.

wouldn't trade that for the world

I'm not used to having a father who's not involved. We had a family business.  So my father was always around - or we were at work with him.  I wouldn't trade those memories for all of the money in the world.

It would depress the fuck out of me to make 200k.  [/quote]

enjoy  never seeing your kids then.[/quote]

Wrong. Keep telling yourself that. We make over 500k HHI, DH is single earner, and works an average of 3-4 days/week.

This is the reality for some high demand professionals.

Could he make 7 figures? Sure. But, the balance of life affords a richness money can't buy.[/quote]

what does he do?
3 days a week for $500K?[/quote]
