[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work because even though I could collect 5 figures a month in child support and alimony, I am too proud. 
I work to show my kids that I'm smart and resiliant
I work because they are paying me way too much and i'd be a fool not to
I work because I can't imagine dating as a single mom and saying I didn't work. I'm a smart lady, too smart for the assumptions that come with that.

[b]I have money in trust that would enable me to never work again[/b], but I'm a high earner with a very enviable set up (WAH), and I'm proud of myself. Its a good feeling. [/quote]

If you collect 5 figures/month in child support AND you have a trust, you’re really just pretending that you work to provide yourself with your lifestyle. You have a jobby and are no different than a SAHM.

What a bizarre thing to say. Someone who is working is working - not pretend working - regardless of how much money they have in the bank[/quote]

Yeah that comment makes no sense. No wealthy person actually works? [/quote]

No. She says she works because she can’t imagine dating as a single mom and saying she doesn’t have a job. She says she has a job because she has too much pride to take money from other people.

This is laughable given the finances she describes. Her paycheck probably makes zero difference in her lifestyle.
