[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. I inherited about 5 million approximately eight years ago. It is now closer to 7. I’m 40. I left my corporate job and now work at a nonprofit. I actually still make a decent salary (95k) but do not worry about money. [b]I am a diehard WOHM and believe that every educated woman without major health issues and/or other debilitating situations should work[/b]. I’m aware that I am lucky to work at a flexible job that pays decently and make you feel good about what I contribute to the world. That said I did not earn this money and would not quit to rely on it. My husband and I bought a $1 million house in cash and have comfort in the fact that our retirement and children’s college funds are completely funded. [/quote] Why should you work? Wouldn't the world be better served by you volunteering? Or by you donating your full salary to charity each year, at least? Or letting someone who needs the money have your job instead? What about uneducated women? Why don't they have to work? [/quote]
