[quote=Anonymous]Make sure that you've saved enough (or have already bought) a house that you'll be happy to live in for a while with a healthy downpayment so you can comfortably pay the mortgage on whatever your ramp-down salary is. If you can, pay off your student loans and minimize other debt (car note, etc). It's helpful if one spouse can get a job in a very stable field - government, education, etc. - so that you can count on that salary, pension, etc. We did this in our early to mid 30s - went from HHI of $330k to $125k (briefly, with a SAHP for a few years) and are now at $250k as double feds. Totally comfortable, really happy, and love how much control we have over our lives.[/quote]
