[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You think someone with 1m annual income is going to be satisfied retiring for 30+ years on 5m? You are off by an order of magnitude.[/quote] Life is short. Being a miserable biglaw striver with minimal chance of making equity, all the while the woman quits to have kids? Yes, I think retiring on a 4-5 million nut isn't out of the question. They can also choose to strive for the bigger goal, end up with kids they never see at the nanny, and likely end up divorced. They should be saving as much as possible for when the gravy train dries up.[/quote] Life is not an either/or choice. We make a good amount of money, have two very hectic careers going, but we also spend a ton of time with kids. You have to find the right work/life balance. Working for 5 years and then quitting is just swinging from one extreme to the other. I also don't think it's the right message to send to kids that mommy/daddy stays at home all day. [/quote]
