Simple... I'm highly skilled and I am willing to make less money then I could If I fully dedicated myself to my work. Because of this I am able to work about 9-5 and spend a large amount of time with my SO.
This isn't to say that I'm poor because of this. I'm still quite well off, especially considering we have no children and don't plan to have any until later in our lives.
If you absolutely must have the time you have to be willing to compromise on your job. I wanted to move to Manhattan and make the big $$$ but my SO didn't want to. So I'm going to work another job with far less career potential. I'm fine with it though because I know what matters.
