[quote=Anonymous]My husband left big law for government and it's made a huge difference in his quality of life. He's much happier with the flexiblity and hours, and it has been good for our family. I also work, but our numbers aren't that different from the OP. Life isn't a fairytale. At the end of the day, sometimes you have to make hard choices about what you value most. Does your DH want more time flexibility? Ability to do more with kids? Less stress? Maybe you'll have to go back to work (I did). Maybe you'll have to move somewhere less expensive. There is no "have it all" option, and the sooner people realize that and decide to prioritize the things that actually matter most to them, the better. I will say, my DH took a huge pay cut when he left for government, and that has come up many times since. Like, we see friends and former co workers doing things with their families that we wish we could do but absolutely can not afford now. Still, he doesn't regret his decision at all.[/quote]
