[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And on the flip side, I'm friends now with two women who are married to a lawyer and a state department worker and they stayed at home to raise the children. Well turns out the men are cheating with multiple people and now they are worried they will leave them. They are in a huge pickle. It's all good till it isn't.[/quote] Many SAHM's to lawyers would have more money cut by 50% (in joint property states) than many two-income families. Not sure why that would be a big deal. [/quote] Because you lose earning power (especially dealing with age discrimination) and it’s usually better to have a stable source of income than it is a lump sum. A salary is usually over time going to over time be more money, and there are various circumstances like medical emergencies that can wipe out savings. I know a lot of former SAHM divorcees are complaining about getting 4M in assets but depending on when the divorce happens, that’s a relatively high sum for the working rich. Most wouldn’t get that much in assets. [/quote]
