[quote=Anonymous]My DH makes about 750K right now and it consistently goes up every year. When he made a lot less I never thought that I would give up my paycheck, but once he started making enough that we never really thought about money and it became clear that his travel and work schedule would continue to be crazy, I left FT work. I still work a lot, publishing regularly in my old field, giving presentations at conferences, teaching a class here and there as the opportunity arises. I like my work and I need the intellectual stimulation. What is liberating is that I don't have to worry about getting paid for everything I write or keeping a full-time schedule by teaching classes that are inconvenient or uninteresting just to get a paycheck. This is its own kind of independence and I am still in a position so that if I want to ramp up my career I have current credentials. [/quote]
