[quote=Anonymous]I married later than most women, at 37. Divorced at 49. The thing is that even with great job, for most women they benefit from joining forces with a man financially. The DMV is a very expensive city and it's difficult to get on the property ladder with only women income as a woman. Maybe that's not the case for people from family money who didn't have student loans and whose parents gave them a down payment. I know that for me, I'd be in a much worse financial position had I not married when I did. It's also the case that without kids, there is an entire world that you are cut off from. I remember coworkers talking about potty training their toddlers and feeling like they lived on another planet. And once I crossed over and became one of them, I realized what all I'd been missing out on all that time. I'm back on the unmarried side now, and I'm content with that. But I don't pretend that I didn't benefit significantly from having been married and had a child with my spouse. Being single due to divorce is a very different life experience than never having been married.
