Very similar except for the expensive coastal location.  I don’t think I’m underpaid.  [/quote]

The cost of living factor might be the big difference here.  I'd be happier with my $465k if I lived somewhere cheaper.  I mean, it is still good, but it would be super great in some mid sized medium cost of living place.  My quality of life is not great either.  I grind pretty hard in an expensive place.[/quote]

Oh for the love, get over yourself. I live in NOVA and we earn 200k less and do just fine. Sheesh. [/quote]

DP here. Are you a lawyer who consistently works more than 40 hours a week at $hitty and often unpredictable times? 
Is it common for you to be late for an/or miss dinner and kids activities and weekend events? Do you routinely work on vacation? I’ve been married to a lawyer for 20+ years and the only people who get it are other similar lawyers and their spouses. Don’t let your kids go to law school. [/quote]

I’m the lawyer who earns a similar income but not in an expensive coastal city.  I earn every penny and often wonder if the benefits of my salary, private school, nicer home than we’d have in DH’s salary alone, etc., are worth the tradeoffs of rarely getting home before 7:00, working on vacation, often being stressed.
