[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 14:36 - a career SAHM is someone who hasn't worked since having her kids and doesn't intend to return to paid employment even though her children are in full time school.[/quote]

AKA Goldigger.[/quote]

I worked until having kids.  My youngest starts K next year.  In the 12 years since my first was born, my DH's salary has gone from about $500K per year to almost $3MM.  If I go back to my former career as a nonprofit manager, I will make a tiny fraction of what my DH makes.  While he is supportive of my doing whatever I like, do not pretend to me that that means I will not still have full responsibility for our kids, dogs, homes (3 of them), and our aging parents.  So I do all the usual home chores, including having full responsibility for our financial and investment decisions (researching financial statements and learning about all my options is plenty intellectually stimulating, too, since you are so worried about that) and volunteer as a nonprofit board member.

Gold digger?  Ha!  When I started dating my DH I earned more than he did.  And don't worry about my future with the usual "man is not a plan" comeback - we have a post-nup that guarantees me so much income that I will still be in the top 1%.  Perhaps you should stop making assumptions.  It doesn't reflect well on you.[/quote]

Yeah, like your situation is so common. Puhleeze.[/quote]
