[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Figure out how to reduce your fixed expenses. DH and I both started biglaw at the same time but we bought an inexpensive house, boring cars, just did our best to keep our expenses in a range that let either of us quit or get fired. And ironically I think that kept our mental health in check sufficiently to actually stick it out until promotion. [/quote] Yeah, I mean you are an idiot if you went into BigLaw without recognizing that you were likely to hate it. Most do. So you don't spend BigLaw money. You tough it out for a few years so you can pay off law school debt, save for a house down payment, etc. Then you leave and you can do that because you spent like a normal person but for things like paying down loans. If you went into it thinking you'd stay your whole career, well, you are not very smart. [/quote]
