[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was i [i]lower [/i]middle class growing up? No. When I was married and not working , I had zero income. Not sure what you mean.

How did I protect myself financially? I didn't, I relied on the law to do that. It didn't do a great job of it and I'm too proud to rely on alimony so I got a job and made it work. Lots of women do this ~ usually because we have to, sometimes just because we can and will do anything for our kids. I made sacrifices for them and would do it again, and now I get to show them that we focus on what is important to us and we work hard to do it. It wasn't easy being a SAHM of lots of young kids with a financially and emotionally and verbally abusive spouse, and it isn't easy being a working mom with a high income and no partner, but we grow and change and do whatever we believe is best for our children in any given scenario. We all do ~ working mom or SAHM or in between part time mom or moms who start their own gig or moms who do what they believe makes them good moms.

SAHM are no different in that regard, people here just seem to love to lavish faux concern about their intelligence and future options/work/hustle. The "must be nice till your husband leaves you for a younger thing and you work for miminum wage" posters seem to fetishize a riches to rags story for women who this happens to, so I enjoy showing them that the same motivation that it took to care for young kids round the clock is easy applied in other venues, only now they benefit me and my kids financially instead of just in terms of emotional support and stability. My ex is dating a low income earner with multiple kids, I'm dating a high earning man. Its much easier to find high earning men than it is to find high earning women.

What kind of work do you do? Do you think your $374K with no college degree is something most women could duplicate?[/quote]

Good question! This poster makes tall claims but gives a lot of BS lines.  This is not relationship forum. This is Money and Finance. Please share what you do and as a low muddle class woman with no college degree and employable skills make 374K?  Let us know if it is legal work.  And how as a SAHM you have protected yourself financially.[/quote]
