[quote=Anonymous]I am a government employee making less than your sister and I call BS on "less than 40 hours," every full time government job I know of requires 40 minimum and lunch is not paid. But it's true that many that aren't super high earning require little to no overtime. Would you and your husband each want to give up 20% of your income for 20% fewer hours? Because that actually sounds like a proportional tradeoff. You could probably find jobs doing that.

Beyond that, I'm finding it a bit hard to sympathize. Surely you must see that you have much more money than them, so if you're living the same lifestyle, you must have a ton more in the bank? And that owning a home with highly rated schools IS a generally more attractive and expensive choice than renting with OK schools? The cost of housing varies WILDLY within counties based on school quality more than house quality. You chose your place for a reason. Would you actually switch and send your kids to the other schools in the other area? [/quote]
