[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every time I read about the 7 figure earning husband I wonder if it’s the same poster.  The amount is hardly ever relevant but maybe it’s fun to say.[/quote]

There are more than one.[/quote]

I’m sure, but it’s such a weird thing to boast about.[/quote]

It weighs into decisions about returning to the work force. [/quote]

This. It affects the decision making if you don’t need the money. Also, often high earning comes with insane and often unpredictable hours. My husband will take business trips, have client dinners or just have to work late with very little notice. He is more than happy to pitch in with dinner/homework/carpooling if available, but I have to operate under the assumption that it will all fall to me. Same with dentist/orthodontist/sports physicals and any other medical needs that arise.

I’m not saying this to complain. I’m just saying it all adds into the equation when deciding what to do.

That said, I posted upthread that I feel very lucky to have found a PT job I love and I am definitely happier and more fulfilled than when I did not have it. [/quote]

I totally get that.  I find it weird to comment on the amount because it’s so relative and personal.  7 figures is not unheard of but it is way way way beyond what most people would consider absolutely more than enough to set you up for life.  It comes off as a weird brag which is why I have wondered if some of these posts I see are the same person.[/quote]
