[quote=Anonymous]Plus 1000 to the PP on being miserable. My DH left an extremely miserable, yet high paying big law position for DOJ. He worked every single minute of the day, loved his job, and traveled extensively pre-pandemic. I went back to work to support our frugal lifestyle. It was miserable for both of us except he loved his job. Fast forward one of our kids needed a school that wasn't our local public option after years of being in public. So we used savings for tuition. Long story now my DH is back in big law. No one has it perfect. You have money and little time, or time and no money. I would suggest a high level gov't position (like Deputy Attorney General, Treasury high level, etc) for a few years and then back to big law or start your own firm. Or stay in big law and teach a class if that's a good hobby - lots of big law folks do that. Or even take a month traveling this summer and he can work when he needs to. It's ok to put the brakes on for a few weeks while he vacations - what does he like - travel, golf, spending time in his hometown - make it work with the funds you have. Rent a house at the beach for June and July, invite his family to join you, give him a bedroom to use as an office. Knowing what I know now - kids are expensive, aging parents are expensive, retirement is no joke - I would have done everything possible to keep the money coming in.      [/quote]
