[quote=Anonymous]OP how much of your identity and lifestyle is tied up in being "the doctor's wife"? There are wives I know that care deeply about the "prestige" or status and there are others who just want their DHs to be happy. If you can't afford your current house, schools, the life you envisioned at less than 600k, then I think the decision is easy. If you can afford it and are banking a lot of your money anyway and he would be happier working with his family, then tell him to go for it.

If this start up can really pay 300k (can it really -- that seems like a LOT even for a family member), that's really good money even if there is never a full fledged IPO payout. If he makes 300k for the next decade, the start up never launches, and he has to find something else to do 10 yrs from now -- he will; he's a smart man with an MD. Maybe it'll mean starting over and returning to medicine with a different fellowship or residency or starting his own business or whatever, but it's doable.

What do you want to see happen here?[/quote]
