[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, I work because I like having disposable income and lots of it. My husband makes 180k/yr and I make 200K and I'm not trying to forgo 200K/yr to SAH. If my earning potential had been sub 100K, no way in hell would I have returned to work.

Yes, I like having a beautiful home, a personal trainer, nice vacations, shopping at the farmers market, weekly date night, new clothes when I want, 2xs a week house cleaners.

[b]I'm unashamed and completely confident in my choice and feel no need to justify it.[/b]  I'm not going to pretend I'm a poor single mom just trying to make the ends meet. My children are now older and we have an AuPair because we need a driver to get them to all of their sports after school.  Aftercare has been replaced with travel hockey and travel soccer.

Hence your need to justify it here.[/quote]

Nope, no justification contained in my above statement. No excuse or altruistic reason working. I like working and I like having disposable income. It is not to "feed or clothe or house my family" I do not live in a small apartment. We could easily live on one income, we just don't want to. I don't need to justify it because there is nothing to justify. It is the same reason I do not justify why I drive an SUV.  I drive one because I like it and I want to drive one, not because I need a utility vehicle. I don't even need the extra space. I simply saw it, I liked it, and I bought it.[/quote]

Honey, you just don't get it.

Ten sentences, each and every one defending yourself.

It's OK. Really. You love money and the easy life.

It's much more dignified to just own it.

Of course, you're shallow and superficial, but so is most of humanity.[/quote]

Oh the drama "most of humanity", that is Oscar worthy. I'm not defending myself, there is nothing I need to defend. I really don't care what names you want to call me. If you want to go to trial over 10 sentences, be my guest. I'm not losing sleep over it.[/quote]
