[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What my husband and I worked out is that as long as our HHI is ~$150-175k, we don't have to change anything about our lifestyle. Neither of us cares which of us makes more. For a lot of years, he was making $85k and I was making $65k. For the last 4 years, he's been making $180k and I've been making $80k. We used my income to pay down debt and now that the debt is gone, we bank it. DH is transitioning to a different job and is taking what is essentially a 50% paycut. He is mommy tracking himself and taking over the household stuff that I do now, including the emotional labor of kid appts/grocery shopping/camp/new sizes of clothes/etc. Our plan is for me to scale up as he scales back, which is easy and common in both of our fields.
