My desire has always been government or non-profit work, which is decidedly not where the money is as an accountant. I want to be able to claw myself out of debt and be able to afford a family, but that's about it. I don't want lavish things, I've never taken a vacation, I don't need the high paying power careers, I just want to be comfortable.

Yep.

Although we do always take vacations.  Not something I did growing up, but we go somewhere every year for at least a few days and up to a week.

We've been fortunate to make enough to have a nice life.  And the kids haven't wanted for much either.

But the life I'd have to live to make lots more money isn't worth the offset I get from being home very night.
