[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I love what I do, because I love the people I work with, because I'd be a terrible SAHM, because it [b]gives our family health insurance[/b], because working full time helps me be a better parent. [/quote]

Fraud Alert. If you're truly wealthy you wouldn't need to work to get health insurance.

Also, doctors that serve the wealthy a lot of the times don't even take insurance. They're also concierge doctors more often than not.

DP. Depends on what you define as truly wealthy. My DH is comfortably a 1%er with a trust fund, but health insurance definitely factors in to our decisions to keep working. The cost of insurance for a family on the open market is insane. Throw in a cancer diagnosis, a few other random middle-aged health scares, and the prospect of many more decades of declining health, and yeah, we’ll stick around for that employer-sponsored plan a little longer.[/quote]

Me too. Plus I'm a single parent, I would rather die than have people think that I live on one cent from my ex husband. I work to set a good example for my kids, and because its a point of pride to me to live the lifestyle I've earned, not one that my trust allows me.[b] I would struggle, seeing the balance go down. [/b]I prefer to provide for myself with the knowledge that I always have safety net, and will have perks like early retirement. [/quote]

I admire your viewpoint. Since this is an anonymous forum, how much is in the trust? [/quote]
