I'll probably go that route, too, but my wife is in public interest and will be lucky to crack $70k someday. Anyway, seems like things are really breaking your way. This is how the middle class spends its 30s and 40s, I guess.

anything where you don't sit in an office, of which there are many. Good friend is the head of a group that runs a bunch of restaurants...that sounds interesting. Another that runs a huge summer camp company. Another that runs an advertising and marketing firm. Another that runs a real estate development company. Problem is that I'm not creative and risk makes me miserable (even the little I take now).

My bonus is guaranteed, but paid at the end of the year, so for about 5 months we were living on just my $200k base, which is tough in SF with a family. Its a good day.

at my company, $200k is the max compensation one can receive (includes senior execs) so bonus is everything. it'd be nice to have some of that comp upfront, particularly when i have a bigger mortgage.

Yes, I know kids cost money. But if I'm making 400k (let's say going home with 275k. There's no reason you aren't banking 200k a year.

Yeah, sorry about that, brother. I guessed at how much you'd bring home. I originally wrote 250k, but thought that might be a bit low. I mean, how could the government justify taking nearly 40% of one's income?!?

Thanks for confirming the sadness. How much does 400k work out as take home?
