[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People raise kids in this area on $100K.

Be honest about his job prospects in Arkansas.  My husband's job is very DC-centric, and there aren't a lot of jobs in his field outside of DC or other major cities.  If you move to an area where there really aren't jobs for your husband, you're either going to divorce or [b]he's going to be miserable[/b].  What, realistically, can he do in the city to which you want to move?  [/quote]

Unless he gets over himself, recognizes that she is the breadwinner, makes his entire family his priority and not just himself, and maybe rethinks his career and possibly changes direction.

That is an option.  [/quote]

+1. but i also agree with the PP's point that people raise kids in this area on 100k. in fact, they do it on less. i can attest to that as my DH makes 75K and i am currently unemployed and a SAHM (though I did work up until a few months ago). we just have to be really smart about spending but it is doable...we are not living paycheck to paycheck either. we rent a 2br apt in nova, have 2 cars, and have a very pleasant life. there are plenty of ways you can cut back your expenses to make it work on less than 100k. not that you should have to, OP, if that's not what you want and if you want to advance in your career. but it is definitely possible.[/quote]
