All depends on the lifestyle you plan on living... private school, size of home, vacations, etc

Total 100k

Are you planning to live outside the city or within the city? Within the city, comfortable (not rich, upper middle class, still having to compromise on certain luxury purchases) total household income for 3-4, I'd say around 150-200, outside the city, somewhere around 150 should be fine. I'm basing "comfortable" as what you'd probably be thinking given you're a VP

Idk guys I’m thinking 250min

200

250+ for a decent central apartment

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

We’ve been TTC for 7 months now. I was 10 days late for my period, took a pregnancy test 3 different times in the last week and all negative. Reading online i learned that i could be pregnant and just need the hcg levels to build up for a positive test. But last night, I had the worst cramps and now have light bleeding, and some clots 😭... this whole process is such an emotional rollercoaster.. has anyone else had a similar experience? I think this could be an early termination but not sure.
