[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, everyone is shit-Ing on you because they don’t live in nyc and have no idea how much it costs to live here. 400k really doesn’t go as far as people think here. I empathize. I don’t work 65 hour weeks but DH regularly works 70 plus hour weeks and I’m at 45hrs. This is just the reality of what two working professional families do in Manhattan. You situation may seem crazy by DC standards but it’s not uncommon in nyc. [/quote]

I was unaware that people are forced to live in Manhattan.

Listen, if money is your priority have at it, the kids are certainly well provided for and will most likely be fine, but don’t lie to yourself that working so much isn’t a choice.[/quote]

Lots of jobs are based only in Manhattan. Commuting from burbs or an outer borough takes time away too. [/quote]

Well then you need to decide what is most important.  I know numerous people who commute from CT and have a HHI way lower than $400k.  If you live somewhere cheaper and still have the flexibility to WAH then you wouldn't need to work 65 hrs per week.[/quote]
