[quote=Anonymous]This seems unwise for most women. If you drop out of the workforce in your 30s, you’re likely giving up millions of dollars, even if you don’t earn a high salary. The average woman can easily live until 80 or older. Why quit working and earning money in one’s 30s? That doesn’t make sense. My own mother was a SAHM and very smug about it. My dad earned a good salary and they never divorced. But she’s less and now because it’s obvious they would have a lot more money if she’d had a job. Not to mention kids eventually grow up. I would only be a SAHM if my husband earned enough that I could have extensive hobbies and travel a lot on his income while still saving. It’s incredibly easy to have a job and earn an income. Literally anyone can do it. To choose to earn $0 isn’t a good decision for most women. [/quote]
