[quote=Anonymous]Yes - absolutely...but with one condition.  I would 100% bank the $$$ and the expectation would be that this was a very short term arrangement (like 1-2 years tops).  Also, it couldn't mess up his current job.

I think being able to bank that amount of $$$ in such a short period of time, all the while maintaining a good job is worth it.  First, I don't think having your husband checked out for a year or so from the family will really make that big of a difference in their lives.  Kids are forgiving and will forget about it in no time at all.  Second, I think - for that money - I could suck up doing 100% of the child care and housework.  Though I certainly would utilize the help of a house cleaner and part-time nanny during that time to help my sanity.

My husband makes about $250k/year as well.  But him making double that would allow me to quit working and still let us save really good $$$ for college/retirement/etc.

If it were me, I'd absolutely sign on for that for a year or so (tho no longer).[/quote]
