[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t blame her for resenting you.  Unless someone else is funding law school, incurring all that dept to make 160k seems silly. She probably resents her choices too.  If she knew then she wanted to be a SAHM, she probably would have picked a more flexible career that didn’t come with such a high expense.

But what’s done is done.  I do think you should look for something to make more money though.  Your salary is such that she can’t afford to look for a job she would like better and offer a better work/life balance.  [/quote]

This is so ridiculous in my opinion. $160k with great benefits, a pension, and great work life balance where someone gets to spend time with their kids is perfectly reasonable and a good salary. With a two salary household if the other person was "only" making 80k that would be a 240k household income. That is more than enough for a family. Balancing salary and not being worked like a dog is very worthwhile in my opinion. And op taking on debt to find a job that pays well over six figures that he LOVES and still gets to be with his family actually DOES seem worth it to me.[/quote]

Sorry disagree.  If you take out 300k in student dept then you should be prepared to hussel- not find the easiest 9-5 job possible[/quote]
