Married 24 years

This was roughly what I was entitled to, but only a 14 year marriage. Sahm, three kids. He averaged $270,000 over the marriage but made $500,000 in a banner year the year we split.

He cut off all access to cash etc when he left. I had a job within 4 mos (after 11 years home raising kids)- and I got incredibly lucky. By the time we went to settlement 2 years after he split, I was earning just under $400,000. No alimony. Gotta tell you- he’s a hateful crazy narcissist and him Stroking that alimony check each month would have been absolute insanity. I’m much happier getting my 24,000 a month in my own income and directly contributing to my own retirement. I am so proud that after 11 years home raising our three kids while travelled and was not often around, I am able to 100% stand on my own. [/quote]

Typo. I’m making 34,000 a month. Sales.[/quote]

You do understand that you whatever opportunity you got is not available to 99.9% of long term SAHMs.  Your comment is pretty out of touch.  [/quote]

Since PP said she got “incredibly lucky” it seems like she does understand. [/quote]

Thank goodness she corrected her salary typo so we all understand just how lucky she got.[/quote]
