[quote=Anonymous]Ok. 1) Your math is wrong for both of you not working. Look up health insurance for a family of 4, unsubsidized. And remember, women tend to be more risk averse than men. That can mean they save more, but it also makes them unwilling to agree to a very low annual income. A woman aged 33 will have MANY friends with kids, and will have much better knowledge of the costs of IVF, raising kids, special needs, and all the risks that a family faces. You seem not so knowledgeable about that.

2) SAHMs don't want their husband underfoot 24/7! That sounds incredibly annoying. Major loss of autonomy, you will micromanage her.

3) People who do well as full-time parents are flexible, easygoing, and very interested in child development. Is that you, really really really? If you are not good at parenting but refuse to work, your wife will swiftly come to resent you.

4) A million-dollar woman with no career ambitions whatsoever, who's willing to walk away from her professional potential to SAHM on a tight budget in a LCOL forever? Really how many of those are there?
