[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't have "heaps" of cash just laying around. We just want to do what is right by her. Her salary moving with us the first year would be increased from 55k to around 75k plus we are looking at what kind of bonus/gift we could give them for doing this . As it would be a tremendous help to us.

Pp if you can read- you'd see that we could guaranteed 90k in 3 years as long as my own salary increases. If I'm getting raises and can afford to then pay our nanny more why shouldn't I?? We aren't here trying to find a bargain like so many other MBs.

I know she wants to stay home when she has her own children....I would never ask her to compromise that. She isn't living off her income alone. Her husband makes a great living. And from what I have talked to her about most of her income if not all goes towards savings.

Actually, you said $75K plus all relocation expenses, and an additional stipend for an apartment, plus raises, and help with additional funds while hubby finds a job. Once you add taxes, yes, you are looking at 100K+. I lived in San Francisco before moving to the DC area. The cost of living is outrageous. Everything is expensive: gas, taxes, housing, school ... About the only thing that is cheaper is excellent produce and beautiful flowers.

The problem I see with your plan is largely an ethical one. What if you move this woman and her husband out there with you, and in six months they realize that his $90K job no longer affords them enough for her to stay home when they have babies because she can no longer save her salary? Are you going to finance the move back? Increase her salary again? What if they just hate it? You are really becoming responsible for them by moving her.[/quote]
