[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Highly educated, high earning woman here, who is married to a similarly high earning man.  In my ideal situation, we'd have $50m in the bank and we'd BOTH quit and hang out without responsibility.  Maybe some volunteering here and there.  Nothing too major. Donate lots of cash.  My next ideal situation is our current situation (high earning, low hours).  My least ideal is not working, while DH goes off to work every day.  It's boring, creates an imbalance in the marriage (emotionally and financially), and unfulfilling for me.  [/quote]

Why would you be bored? Do you really think you couldn't find something worthwhile to do with your time, or do you only value earning money?[/quote]

What do you suggest I do while I have children in school and I’m living in the DC area?  I don’t workout and I dislike homemaking.  I can’t travel extensively because I have children.  Outside of taking up golf, I can’t figure out what I would do.  One can only read so many books.  [/quote]

We are similar to your ideal situation and not bored:  have a child in middle school.  We workout.  Sit on some boards. Hire out the cleaning.  Do the home making we enjoy.  Travel extensively with child during school vacations and then some.  Neither plays golf.  Not bored at all.  Busy actually doing things we enjoy.[/quote]

Everything you listed sounds horrible.  Quit my interesting job so I can workout and sit on boards?  No thanks.  [/quote]
