[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I must also note that I come from a pretty traditional country and since I wanted to be a mother so bad, I sort of...did not put that much effort into building a career as I naively thought my DH would be making enough to support us. That hasn't really panned out and I am so disappointed and sad and feel stupid.[/quote]

Yeah...that's on you for not vetting a partner with financial sense and a career that would get you the lifestyle you thought you deserved. [/quote]

OP here. DH actually got a raise now and makes 300k+ starting this year. However, my desire to not work has changed and years of being poor has made me risk averse and I want to have my own retirements savings etc.

I was the one super impressed with all you've accomplished but now I'm totally confused.  You said your husband couldn't support you until now...but he's in his mid-30s making 300k?  Not sure what kind of work he's in where he went from poverty to 300K but either way, if you're still depressed, I would see someone.  Because it sounds like you're living the American dream and you don't realize it! [/quote]

Op here this is a very recent development and happened this year. My husband decided to open his own professional services business. We are thrilled with the income thus far but of course, it means our income will vary. [/quote]
