[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. A net worth of 6M total (including the college accounts and home equity) is atrocious for early 40s?

DH doesn’t make 800k every year. Some years it is 500k.[/quote]

No it is not atrocious. How ridiculous! On one thread on this board, you have people talking about how 70% of millennials live paycheck-to-paycheck and presumably have NO savings. Then on this thread, you have people telling the OP she is poor and has “atrocious” saving habits when she and her husband are sitting on 6 million in their early 40s. And the market is down, so if it ever goes back up, they’ll probably have 20% more.

Make it make sense.[/quote]

The answer is that there is no amount of money that is "enough saved" for DCUM.[/quote]

I know! WTF.  If a guy who has $5m sitting in the bank can't take a chance on a startup job, [b]who can[/b]?  Does he need to have $10m saved up? $15m?  This whole thread is insane.[/quote]

Someone who is not currently responsible for children including one with special needs.  Money isn't the only issue.  But I think OP and DH need to just have a talk where they figure out all the issues--financial, time, insurance, etc and find a plan that works if this is what DH really wants to do.  OP can't insist on her way but DH doesn't get to make all the decisions because he earned the money unless he's willing to do with threat of divorce, child support etc.  They are a family unit with each an equal say.[/quote]
