[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you guys are so wealthy that you should work for 5/6 more years and then retire. There is no reason to stay on the hamster wheel unless you like it. 200k is plenty for your whole family it live on. People just think they need “all the stuff.”[/quote] Not the OP and our HHI is not 600K, but near. I earn 3/4 and do all of the mental load. I don't collect STUFF. I collect money. It's all in the bank. I really want to jump off this hampster wheel but am so scared. I'm afraid of losing my identity. I'm afraid my marriage will suffer. I'm actually not that good at my personal life but really good at my professional life. At this point we could just make living our his income. If he earned a tad bit more, we could do it easily. I'm also a former ''poors'' so wonder how much I could cut budget if I put my mind to it. [/quote]
