[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This mentality is why I left BigLaw as a senior associate to go to a government job. It's just NOT WORTH IT to stay on that kind of a treadmill long term. And FYI OP, the other thread's OP makes $170K. If her husband quit and took a GS-15 job, their combined HHI would be over $300K. It is quite possible to have a nice house, nice vacations, and pay for college on 300K. I know because DH and I are on track to do it.[/quote] +1 Just not worth it. Also, the day I think that $170K is a "low-paying job" is the day someone needs to put me out of my misery. My husband and I make $300K combined, and we have a home, vacations, and college and retirement funds. That kind of money and those kinds of hours are not necessary. Maybe OP wanted us to sympathize, but I just feel sorry for her. She may outearn me, but she's welcome to it. Her life sounds awful. [/quote]
