[quote=Anonymous]Figure out what a dependable income level will be for you after you leave considering your lower salary and the unpredictability of your husband's, and then start living as if that were your income today, including retirement investment, college funds, etc. Put the extra money into savings. If you still feel comfortable, great, you're ready to leave big law whenever you want. If it feels to tight to you or you don't feel like you have enough of a safety net in the event of a job loss, put the extra money into paying down your debt and building your emergency fund until living on that income level does feel comfortable. If you learn that realistically you're not going to be able to make any progress on, for instance, college funds at that salary level, focus on getting those pretty much fully funded before you leave.[/quote]
