[quote=Anonymous][quote]Sounds like you plan for DH to support you for the rest of your life...[/quote] OP here (but not at 19:34). Not sure if you were addressing me or the PP who has been a "100% SAHM," but I will say that, yes, I would be reliant on my DH financially - an idea I am still trying to get comfortable with (that was part of the reason I posted). However, I've worked for a long time, and I have a good amount in my retirement accounts as well as a traditional pension I will collect later. It's not enough for me to retire on today, but it's not as if I haven't contributed to our family's financial success or saved for my own future. We've reached the point, though, where DH's earning outpace mine by so much that even though I make a decent salary, after I pay for childcare I'm making such a small portion of our total income that it doesn't make much difference.
