[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I were both biglaw partners. Here's an observation: if you buy the "dream house" and a couple of nice cars and send a couple kids to private school, it may be nearly impossible for your DH to ever leave biglaw. [/quote] Indeed. OP, if you want an exit strategy, save it, don't spend it. If you do close on that dream house, listen closely for the click--that is the sound of his hands being shackled to his desk. [/quote] Yeah. I'm a fairly young mid-law partner who works her ass off and doesn't make close to 7 figures (though no tears for me, I'm doing fine). My husband and I have decided that if we ever make the leap to that 7 figure salary, we'll not change our (very good) lifestyle much, if at all, and squirrel it away to subsidize either an early retirement or a job change. Easier said than done when you have a big chunk of $$ sitting there, I know, but that's the plan (or fantasy). [/quote]
