Why? It's not like their husbands care. Why should you?

I think the issue for these rich SAHMs is their lives are mostly butterflies and rainbows and the prospect of going back to work...isn't.

I'm not one of them btw but I'd love to say my daily life consists of reading, working out, watching tv, hanging with my kids and friends, like a PP mentioned. I mean, throw in some more hobbies and maybe volunteer activities and who wouldn't prefer that?

As far as jobs go, mine isn't bad (lawyer) but if I didn't need the money, I'd quit in a second.[/quote]

Some people wouldn't prefer it.  I wouldn't.  I know myself.  I'd get bored.  I need more purpose and stimulation than the leisure life you're describing.[/quote]

Me too, PP.[/quote]

You'll eventually want to retire.  What will you do when you stop working?  Pretty much all of the retired people I see are living a more relaxed lifestyle. You are no longer supporting a family so the need to bust your tail every day is just not there anymore.  Everyone retires at some point, unless of course they don't make it to retirement.  Don't kill yourself, know your limits and plan to slow down as you age.  You just do - both mentally and physically.
