Same...

Unless we were on the verge of homelessness and starvation, time with kids and family is more valuable than extra money.

400K would be nice but in the end it only gets spent on extra "stuff"

Not if you're responsible about it

It can pay off our house, car , student loans and our very little debt otherwise and still leave over $100k

$400k is really like making $650k before tax, that takes people many yrs to earn that kinda $

On return, I could get back into a erg. Engineering job and have no worries about employment, just save that $ towards retirement.

If it were $200-$250k i would need to be dire need to leave my kids, but w 400 I could pay off my house and become a greeter at wal mart.

Exactly, thank you. Between the vehicles, insurance and taxes my yearly expenses only total around 8k. I could work a total shit job and live better than a lot of people like that

For me at this stage in my life and career, its not worth it.
If I were single it would probably be a different story.
