[quote=Anonymous]We went from about 200K to 100K so that one of us could pursue a career opportunity. It did not come with a reduction in work hours for either of us, so I can't comment on the lifestyle changes. It was really eye-opening on how easy it was to cut some extra spending. I really don't miss buying "stuff." I do miss nice vacations, watching our savings grow, and more comfortably weathering emergencies. We made this change with the intention of making more than 200K in the medium-term. If things don't turn out that way, we we will probably go back to the previous status quo. So not exactly your scenario, but I can confirm there are benefits - cutting spending is freeing, and making a change that is really personally meaningful is rewarding and motivating. [/quote]
