[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quick minor hijacking of the thread, if you will forgive me and humor the side question.  DCUM readers skew affluent; I'd be curious to know how much this affluent group thinks is enough annual income from the working outside home parent to have the other parent SAH, in a two-kid family.

I got divorced, with elementary and middle school kids.  We both worked fulltime out of the house and had a HHI of around $700k.  Now I'm a single person kids half-time, and I earn about $400k.  $400k doesn't feel like a enough to me. Well, it is definitely "enough" but I'm a worry wart with money, and so it feels like cutting it too close - what if I lose my job, etc.?  Maybe $600k with a sense of job security or marketable / moveable / in-demand skills?

I hear you. I have a HHI of 600k and I make about half. I can’t imagine losing the other half. I’m not even sending my kids to private school.[/quote]

Where on earth does all your money go?  We make 1/3 what you make and live comfortably.  [/quote]
