[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have great flexibility and love my work but only get 60k. Good thing DH earns more. My DD is choosing not to pursue an MD for work life balance concerns, as well as the cost and length of med school. [/quote]

I think your daughter is smart.  
I am jealous sometimes of people on this board who made a ton of money before they had kids and were able to SAH a few years or have some flexibility that way.  
Yes.  I make pretty good money, but I didn’t get my first real job until I was 31, and even then, I still had almost $200k in student loan debt.  Staying at home when kids were little was not really an option.  [/quote]

I disagree with this mindset. I’m a older med student who is pregnant and I feel well supported. It is certainly doable and the eventual pay and flexibility as a physician is worth it. Most female doctors become mothers- why limit yourself so early?? She can finish all her training before having kids and work part time making good money[/quote]
