[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are getting a lot of unfair comments.  My wife is a SAHM.  A lot of women become SAHMs without knowing it is a choice they would make when they are single.  My DW is a lawyer, so she has earning power.

The number 1 factor is YOUR income.  You need to make a lot of money so your future wife's decision whether SHE wants to stay home is made without regard to money.  [/quote]
+ 1.

Most women want to stay home but can't because their spouses do not earn enough.[/quote]

Ooh, please link to the source for your statement that "most women want to stay home." I'd love to see it![/quote]

Check out the stats on SAHMs. It is U shaped which means it goes up tremendously once the person with a job starts making a lot of money (say, 500k +). Rich wives have always opted to do their own thing when they can. Some have "hobby" careers, like a little boutique, but they don't expect it to make any money. Some volunteer extensively.[/quote]

You have correlation, not causation. Do women with wealthy husbands want to stay at home?  Or do they have to because their husband has such a demanding career that they are a de facto single parent?  Or is the husband able to put in the sweat equity to reach that point because the wife is a SAHM?  Or is there something going on with the demographics of the 1% that is not true of the general population. Your cause and effect is screwy here. [/quote]

NP. It's probably a little of both like you're saying.[b] But I think there is something to having a lot of money that makes people not want to work. [/b]If you could spend your time doing whatever you wanted and face no financial repercussions, wouldn't you do it? You specifically might not but I suspect that the vast majority of people would. MOST people work to earn a paycheck, period. I don't think the PP is talking about average UMC people either but really wealthy 1% types.[/quote]

It's just that most people can't make money out of doing what they love - not that they don't want to work.

If what you said is true, hedge fund/pe guys would quit after their first billion - not still wake up and 'run money' as Bill Gross would say even at age 70. Tech Billionaires would say 'fuck it' after they IPO'ed. Athletes and coaches wouldn't watch film and do a lot of boring/grinding stuff that comes with being in pro sports (there's a lot of that shit that is mind numbing - recovery, meal watching, training, etc). The moment they signed their 8-9 figure deals, they'd just go through the motions.
