[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as DH keeps paying the bills, who could possiblly regret retiring at 28!  And it's even better than normal retirement because it gets better over time as the kids get more independent and art in school.

Now talk to SAHM who's DH left them or ended up with illness or career setback, They might sing a different song.

But honestly, most SAHM never had that great a career anyway, even the lawyers weren't on track to be partners and would have ended up as some GS lawyer or in-house lackey for a career focused GC. [/quote]

Why are you on this thread? Honestly, why? I was a very high earner. I also have personal wealth that protects me 100%.

-retired at 31[/quote]

More power to you. It's great you went from dad paying the bills and setting you up as a high earner so you took the burden off of DH.  I said early retirement is a sweet gig. My DH is trying to talk me into staying home, but our families are dirt poor so wr have no safety net beyond DH career.

But the vast majority of SAHM never had that career path, accumulating retirement level wealth by 31 is quite rare; all of the SAHM I knew in Bethesda were teachers, HR admins, marketing hacks. But they hit the gym and keep hubby happy so excel at their current 'job'. [/quote]
