[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dad was a government lawyer who did well but obviously not big law well. However, he was home for dinner at 6:30 every night, did not work weekends, and enjoyed a healthy work-life balance. He retired with a full pension (yes, this was a different era) and enjoyed great health care. Seemed like a pretty nice deal to me.[/quote] As a gov lawyer, I appreciate you sharing this hindsight perspective. If I stay in the government, my kids won't go to private K-8 and I won't be able to leave them an 8-fig trust fund so that they'll never have to think about money. But frankly, never having to think about money makes people detached from reality and unrelatable. I should still be able to support my kids in the important ways -- giving them a comfortable middle-class life; rich life experiences; getting them through college debt-free.[/quote]
