[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could he go in house?

It is going to be a huge lifestyle change from $1m+ to $160k. We know two fed families and they live ok.

DH earns a seven figure income and no way could we live on 160k for our family of five. Just our kids’ activities cost a lot. [/quote]

This is the crux. Not can A family live on $160k (of course) but can THIS family live on $160k. Seems unlikely. [/quote]

Pp here. I also don’t think we live lavishly but our credit card bills may say otherwise. I spend without having to budget and we save a ton, probably half our post tax income. Our kids attend public. We have biweekly cleaners. OP is probably used to eating out or getting groceries without any thoughts about money. I can spend $1000 on a very basic birthday party for my child and drop 5k or 20k on spring break. My kids play tennis and golf and it is pricey. They also like to ski. All these things would be difficult to do on 160k.

I think there are a lot of jobs between big law partner and a fed. Why would your Dh suddenly be happy being a fed? I bet he would be frustrated for other reasons at work and pay.[/quote]
