[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find OP's post funny since 70K is coincidentally the threshold above which additional money does not seem to correlate with happiness. It seems like her husband is actually working quite smart.[/quote]

Please. you have to be a real fool to have collected 2 degrees with honors and still manage to only make as much as an executive secretary.[/quote]

That's what I mean. He's graduated from really well respected private schools. He was groomed to do so much more. [/quote]

Well, he's wasted his time and money on a bunch of nonsense private schools. He probably has wealthy parents and doesn't know the meaning of working hard and getting ahead. That's what happens when life is handed to you.

what a turn off.[/quote]

To clarify then, you are defining success completely in monetary terms.  And he graduated with honors, yet doesn't know the meaning of hard work?

Honestly, you sound petty and jealous.[/quote]

We are talking about monetary success and not bloviating on the transcendental.

Jealous? Of what exactly? The 70K salary? Or the distinguished degrees from Bucknell and Tulane?

[/quote]

Jealous of the fact that it's possible to have wealthy parents, work hard, and land in a job that's comfortable and family-friendly.  Then again, if you have a wife like OP, there's probably not much to hurry home to.[/quote]

Guess what else is possiblr? work hard and land a job that pays 3xs what the OP makes and is family friendly. I'm not jealous of the OP'S DH. I'd be depressed if I had two expensive degrees and still hadn't managed to man up and bring home a good DC paycheck.[/quote]

serious question: what family friendly job earns $210k with just a little hard work?[/quote]

Being a trust fund baby. [/quote]

Someone already answered.

I can also say that my DH makes great money primarily working from home except whrn visiting a client. He coaches our kids teams, walks the kids to school each morning, does laundry during the day, and is out of his office most days by 4pm. He's in IT and bills out as a consultant at $250/hr. I know he grossed 310k last year so that means he billed out around 1240hrs. If you blend that against 52 weeks a year, he's looking at working 24hrs a week. In reality he took 4 weeks of vacation. So he works some weeks 50hrs and some 15.

I work for the public schools 9 months a year in order to carry health insurance.[/quote]

A few questions: how did he get into the field and find clients?

Not every hour is billed; there is overhead, proposal writing, business development, probably training to as IT always evolving? How many hours for that, maybe avg 10 a week? Is 310k gross after all expenses but before taxes or does some business expense come out of that?

It's sounds nice, I expect he worked hard for a decade or so building up the skill and reputation to enjoy this phase of his career. [/quote]
