[quote=Anonymous]I love in DC with a kid and am HHI of 180k. I work part-time, DH has a job with good work-life balance. I could be in a big law job making literally 10x my current income, but... I don't want to? We live in a condo, it's fine. We might decamp for somewhere with power cost of living in a few years, but we'd be okay staying where we are also. We prioritized less stress and time with family over money and a bigger home. We only had one kid, so we're actually doing well with college savings and we will be able to retire by 58 if we want to. You need to stop tying yourself to these narrow ideas of what is possible and what is important. Decide what you want, and make choices that get you there. No one who doesn't have a gambling problem or owe millions in back taxes "needs" to take a big law job. You have tons of other options, including just staying where you are at and budgeting appropriately.[/quote]
