[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't your DH make more money?

Can you just scale back on your current job for a while without actually taking a pay cut?  Just say no more often and delegate more. That is what I've done for the past 8 years.  I'm not on the track I could be, but I'm still technically full time and I've still got my foot in the door and can ramp up when I need/want to do so.  [/quote]

If he makes $150K, it’s unlikely he can just jump to $500K like that.[/quote]

He doesn't have to jump just like that.

"we don't have a mortgage, we have significant savings, and we plan to send our children to our neighborhood public school."  This is huge. Eliminate all of those expenses (mortgage, child care/school, forced savings) from your own budget and what exactly are you paying for every month that requires $500k? Wants, not needs. OP didn't say what his job is, but very few career people around here have a static salary for a decade straight. As long as his job provides health insurance, it is absolutely possible with this fact pattern.[/quote]
