[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I firmly believe that all women should have a means of being self-supporting at all stages of life. I've seen far too many marriages fail, especially after the kids have grown and launched. This is when SAHM often are at the losing end of the game. If something were to happen to your marriage, would you be able to survive? Not just near term but when you are older. I hope you have your own healthy retirement plan in place. [/quote] I do agree with this and I am a sahm. I have my own financial assets. I know a few women whose husbands control all the money and seem like jerks. I don’t say anything but I would not stay home indefinitely in their shoes. There are also women whose husbands make enough to support them but likely not enough to fully fund both retirements. This does not seem like a situation where wife should continue to not work and depend solely on her husband regardless of whether marriage is in tact.[/quote]
