[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you work? If so how much do you make? Is your job flexible?

I am the spouse of a lawyer who has a base of $575,000.  Last year he made $725,000.  I work full time in a VERY flexible job making $150,000 and carry all of our health insurance benefits plus I have a really good pension and a lot of time off.

We have 3 kids in elementary school and are very busy with school, sports, kids stuff, etc.  I do the bulk of the kid and home stuff (probably 80%).

My husband is very stressed and is constantly working. I wonder if it would make more sense for me to find a higher paying job to give my husband to option to take a pay cut and into a more family friendly position. For those of you in similar positions what works best for you? [/quote]

My husband makes 750K/yr approx and I'm around 400K, my job is entirely from home and I have been doing it so long it is not very hard at this point. I only have 2 kids so it is not very hard to juggle family and work life. I have had no break in work since my kids were born except maternity leave. I have zero desire to not be working  Both DH and i work in the same industry and our work venn diagrams do converge and we  and do really enjoy gossiping:-)[/quote]
