[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP shouldn’t dismiss a teacher’s salary. They make a good salary here given all the breaks they have. Also I am confused why a SAHM eats out with her kids all the time? And I am a former big law associate turned SAHM of 3 (with no regrets!).[/quote] Agree with this…I WFH FT and make $300K. I’m 28 weeks pregnant with my third and make dinner every night of the week (except Friday, we go out or get takeout). My husband doesn’t get home until 7 pm most nights and after dinner and clean up I have 1-2 hours of work calls on M, T, W…If I can do it (and it’s not easy, but it’s doable to prep and throw something in the oven at 5:45) someone with kids in school all day can do it.[/quote] But your life doesn’t sound enviable in the slightest. Technically OP could do it, but why? [/quote] OP’s lifestyle is far easier than mine…why can’t she make Mac and cheese or homemade pizza or get a rotisserie chicken and throw veggies in the oven? My HHI is $800K and I don’t balk at doing this. If OP’s income is about to be $160K she should figure out how to live the frugal lifestyle she thinks she does.[/quote]
