[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the advice so far. I will not refer to myself as an "expectant father" again. I should clarify that I don't work for the executive branch, hence the "relatively stable" aspect of my job. My practice area is pretty niche (not corporate) and not what most in-house place look for in an ex-biglaw attorney. But I'll keep searching. I'm gladdened to hear that others did it on far less, but I imagine buying a house in this area was easier 10-15 years ago. [/quote] 20 years ago there was a housing bubble where houses were ridiculously expensive. That’s when we bought. We paid all of our bills and daycare on less than $200k. You need to get some perspective if you can’t figure it out on $300k. As for what to do, I never regretted having work life balance and less money. We had a wonderful life and still do but the youngest is about to be off to college so life is changing. [/quote]
