[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister and BIL are in a smilier situation.  He made mad money during "the boom" (construction loan financing) and for the past 5 years has made 25 percent of his "old" salary. They think that the old 350k years are right around the corner instead of realizing that 1250-150k years will most likely be the bulk of his career.  They really resent my husband and I who make close to his old salary but I am a CNA and my husband is a physician (i.e.: more stable career choices) and when they say things like "wait you could be making 1/5 of your salary next year" I just role my eyes.  So I guess I am curious whether your DH fell into good money and those years are long gone or if he somehow lapsed into a low paying position but will likely be making a move into a higher paying position at some point?  Because if not the later you might as well just adjust not. [/quote]

Maybe don't 'roll' your eyes, bc your jobs may not be as stable as you think once the ACA kicks in and starts squeezing costs.  People should be in medicine to help people not make the big bucks.

Btw, are you a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA)?  EVERYONE is getting that easy certifificate/masters bc it pays well but there be an over supply soon and pay will drop. Same thing happened 5 it's ago with pharmacists.

OP husband did sim for a stable lucrative job, but was stung by an over supply of attorneys and a sea change in the legal profession.

Just maybe learn to be less righteous and more appreciative of what you have. [/quote]
