[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve thought about going part time. I probably could. I’m honestly at the point where it just feels like I have no connection to my job—I feel like I’m leaning out, not in, and so much of my mental focus is on my kids and the household…but I hear you about the huge decision of giving up my career. [/quote] +1. I would like to be a sahm mom for a few years but our HHI is more like 350k without my 160k contribution + retirement. People do it on less, but there’s no way to slice it - you’re losing an income and retirement no matter what your HHI is. At 725k you should be able to fund two retirement accounts, but that’s just me talking on a 500k HHI budget. If dh made 725k I’d leave my job for a few years. But people could say the same about me with a dh earning half of that- it’s all relative/what you’re accustomed to. 725k is objectively high even in a HCOL area. [/quote]
