[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re still reading, OP, I am a single mom who is a government lawyer. I came here from a law firm. I make $183k, which is what your husband can expect to make. I don’t know why people are saying $160k. I have one child, not three, and I don’t have a second adult in the family (which means I’m not paying for a second adult but it also means I don’t have the benefit of a second adult’s labor). I could swing $4200 per month in mortgage but $4500 would be getting tight. (I say that because I pay $3000 now and save $1200 each month, over and above my TSP contribution, so I know I could do $4200.) You’ll be fine, and I don’t think you’ll need to dip into savings. I also have a special needs child, and my budget works. You’ve got this.[/quote] Are you a GS 14 Step 10 ?[/quote] No. She’s a 15 step 7 or higher. Which is what OP’s husband would need to break $180k for the government. [/quote]
