[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m envious of women who can just quit and not worry about the consequences.

Both DH and I work, but I earn more than double his salary. We no longer have student debt and our mortgage will be paid off in just under 10 years. We saved enough for college for our oldest and have nearly enough for our second; we still need to sock away money for our third’s tuition.

I would never leave the workforce and saddle my kids with student loans.

Even if we had all the tuition covered, my salary covers our travel (which is basically a big part of my joy and our family’s happiness). We prioritize regular travel.

I want to leverage my salary to cover my retirement and any care I might need. I don’t want to be a burden to my kids.

And while I doubt I’ll get a divorce, every woman should be financially equipped to navigate losing her spouse.

Have you considered all of that, op?

Not to be morose, but I know a lot of ladies whose husbands died far too young. One was well equipped to handle it, but all the others really struggled financially. [/quote]

Oh there are consequences [/quote]
