[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] Most of us do. Most women who SAH worked and saved to be able to do so and many will work again. It's rarely either/or. And there are protections in place so he doesn't get to keep all the fruits of the marriage either. The cases I've seen go bad for women are where the wife is abused and the husband screws her over with threats and outright theft. I don't think you should plan your children's care based on the likelihood of that level of crime happening to you.[/quote]
