[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn't you want the best paying job possible for your family?  [/quote]

Well, the best paying job I could get right now would pay about $5-600k, but would require 50% travel and routinely working 70-hour weeks.  I have decided to stay at my $3-400k job that requires only 20% travel and 50-hour weeks.  Do you really think the better paying job would be better for my family?  My kids are 2 and 4.[/quote]

OK that's a huge difference than someone taking the easy 50k job vs hustling for the 100k job. In your case, 3-400k should be enough to support a family.[/quote]

You would think, but for a while my spouse was trying to nudge me into the higher-paying job.  It was annoying AF, and caused resentment and distrust, but to answer the OP's question, no, it was not abuse.  And, I am a woman, FWIW.

Also, we have no idea whether the OP is talking about the difference between a $50k/$100k job or a $300k/$600k job.[/quote]
