[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't your DH make more money? Can you just scale back on your current job for a while without actually taking a pay cut? Just say no more often and delegate more. That is what I've done for the past 8 years. I'm not on the track I could be, but I'm still technically full time and I've still got my foot in the door and can ramp up when I need/want to do so. [/quote] If he makes $150K, it’s unlikely he can just jump to $500K like that.[/quote] It's probably impossible for the DH to make enough to even get close to maintaining their lifestyle. There are many, many fields that "top out" at around 150k and a job change usually means a drop in income for a while and more risk, which is not something you want. The smart thing is for OP to keep working and DH to cut back to SAHP or part time while being the primary parent after school. [/quote]
