Thanks for the quick replies everyone.
The only job around here with a defined benefit plan is with the VA, and that involves a significant pay cut, a soul-sucking government work environment, a 45 minute commute (compared to 15 minute one now), and the defined pension multiplier is a measly 1.1, which isn't enough to justify my pay cut - not even close. So, no DB for me, other than SS and army pension.
I could increase my salary with another job, or more hours at my current job, but honestly I'm not going to. I've worked a lot of long, long hours (100+ hours/week sometimes) over the last few years. Prior to that I was deployed overseas three times with the army for over 3.5 years in total. I've missed way too many holidays, birthdays, etc. from working too much. My wife and I both need me to be home more, not working more.
I am familiar with the White Coat Investor. It's a great resource. Thank you for the link!
Scaling back my lifestyle would definitely help me sock away more toward savings. I know I could scale back, but I honestly feel like I'm living at or below my means... At least compared to other physicians I'm friends with who are all driving new Mercedes and BMWs, etc. living in homes 2-3 times the value of mine. Of course, they could be leaving way above theirs...
There are two areas we could really cut back our spending. We eat out a couple of times per week, plus I usually buy lunch instead of packing at work. This all adds up significantly throughout the month. The other area is vacations. We like to travel. We don't travel extravagantly, but we like to go to a lot of places. I would definitely be willing to cut back on the restaurant budget... But not travel. To me, this is a necessary expense.
My wife is a professor at a state university, which means free tuition to in-state universities for all of our children. And we'll cover room and board, which we'll adjust our budget for at that time. There are 14 to choose from in PA, so that means our children have a choice of 14 to go to, or find scholarships. I know this is off-topic, but expensive private colleges for undergrad are one of the biggest wastes of money you can spend IMO, with a few exceptions. /off topic
Thanks again for all the advice so far!
