[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious...my significant other had a huge increase in pay this year and I've been thinking about staying home.  I don't love my job, but I never imagined myself stepping away from a career.  We will be able to live very comfortably, as in the pay increase is more than [b]my low six figure salary[/b].  My partner's job is very stressful and time consuming so most of the burden of child rearing and household chores falls to me.  I don't mind doing it, but sometimes think I would really love more time with the kids, which not working would afford.[/quote]

A six figure salary is not low.  Even if it is $100K.  Not even in this area.[/quote]

A low six-figure salary means that it's in the low $100k's.[/quote]

Yes, I understand that.  She is saying her husband's pay increase is more than her "low six figure salary."  I am saying that any six figure salary is not low.  I don't even think my $60K salary is low.[/quote]

You are dense....[/quote]
OK... since you didn't get it the first (or second) time.
Six figure salary = 100,000 - 999,999
LOW six figures generally means closer to the 100,000 mark
HIGH six figures generally means closer to the 999,999 mark
MID six figures generally means around the 500,000 mark
So the PP meant her salary is in the LOWER range of six figures.
Sheesh...[/quote]
