[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I am sorry this happened to you. This is very stressful. My husband was a non-equity partner in big law and was laid off when he was 49. In a way, this was the best thing that ever happened to our family. After doing some soul-searching, he ended up getting a government job. Our HHI decreased by 2.5 fold. Our children won’t inherit millions. But: - DH is happy - our marriage is better than ever - our children will inherit happy memories and a healthy model of a good marriage We used to be able to afford (pretty much) everything: fancy vacations, fancy restaurants, fancy presents for our children. But we hardly had time to truly enjoy life. We no longer can afford to drop $500 on a fancy dinner. But when we do splurge (after saving up), it is much more meaningful. We were lucky that we still had our old modest home so that we did not have to move. Good luck with everything! You’ll get through it![/quote]
