[quote=Anonymous]I am a DH.   I used to think my DW wanted me to make more money, but when the offer came in (160K to 220k), she was ok with me turning it down, which I did.
I like what I do -- I am a scientist, and going to work is fun.  I have a very flexible job, can spend time with the family as needed, and have a good reputation at work.
I rarely miss a child's sporting event, and used to coach her teams.  I had the flexibility to do that.

On my salary, we can live comfortably:  we own a small house in a good neighborhood with excellent schools, we have two decent cars (VW & Subaru).  We used to take nice vacations, but that money is now used for medical expenses...so our vacations are now more modest.  Also, instead of nice vacations, DD goes to a good summer camp, which she loves.

We are not rich, but we are comfortable.  And we have time to enjoy life.  I would not mind if we had a little more $$, I would like my DW to go back to work -- she should be able to make 20-30K which we could use to build up savings...

What I do wish could change is to not have cancer.[/quote]
