[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would put a time frame on working like this. At most I would do this until the little guy is two. [/quote]

Agreed.  The thing is, when I had a commute, I wasn't seeing my baby much more than this, they sleep so much at that age.  But as they start staying up later and need more parent time, then what?  Stick to the two hours per day or work even later into the night to keep up the 65 hrs work?  OP says that WAH right now, but what happens if/when they need to return to the office?

With that kind of salary, there's no reason you can't bank a huge chunk of that over the next year or two and fulfill your goal of fully funded college. Then dial back and actually be a parent.[/quote]

They can save for in-state SUNY.  That would be around $500/month, which should be doable for 2 FT working parents working normal 40 hr/week professional white collar jobs -- assuming they are both paid biweekly, it's just $125 per paycheck per person.   [/quote]
