[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call troll. Somebody posts this exact thing every couple months- friend married rich, has the perfect life, OP doesn't want to work but DH doesn't make enough.

If this is real- I have your friend's life and it's not that great. Boring as hell and your self-esteem takes a huge hit since you contribute absolutely nothing. So you stress yourself out going overboard in making sure you're the perfect mother, as hot as possible, and then freaking out when you hit your 30s and suddenly aren't conventionally attractive anymore and your kids don't need you as much.

I finally took a job that pays a very small fraction of what my DH makes and while it has improved my own happiness by leaps and bounds, DH is resentful because I get to have a "fun" job while he has a job he hates. Sucks, but it's better than being depressed. Human beings are meant to work and contribute to society, not sit at home living a life of luxury. That just leads to depression.

If you want money live within your means and look into investments. You don't need a high salary to make money. We have lots of friends who make much more from investing than from their jobs.

Instead of lecturing maybe you should work on getting a job that pays more so dh can leave the jobs he hates. [/quote]
