[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We want a third but since the eldest is already in private school I don’t know how we could do it. HHI of 700k but unlike PP we don’t take luxury vacations or have luxury cars. [/quote]

Classic dcum.

Gentle caution: my SIL’s husband convinced her they couldn’t afford a third child (she desperately wanted one). He earned north of $750. Long story short: he was planning his exit strategy once the youngest hit a certain age and he had a certain amount of savings/investments to cover the divorce and maintain his standard of living.

If you can’t afford a kid at $700k, then you are doing something wrong or something is up with your husband.

If you aren’t traveling, then something is definitely up with your husband. He’s likely using vacation time with someone else. [/quote]

What in the world. Just stop. [/quote]

Any man who earns $750+ should have vacation time. If he isn’t taking his family on vacations, then he is using his vacation with someone else. Trust me. Most men are smart enough to send the wife and kids on trips, but anyone close to leaving is keeping expenses down.

Go ask some women in their 40s in Great Falls, McLean, Alexandria, Bethesda, etc. Hindsight being 20/20, it’s a big red flag. [/quote]
