[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, welcome to DCUM where people love to see SAHMs be punished and assume they will live in poverty forever.

When I divorced I was a SAHM for 11 years after working for about 15. 3 children spaced 2-3 years apart.

I was able to get a mortgage with a down payment of $400k and my income was my alimony and child support (and don’t tell me that’s just for children’s school supplies or whatever or I will ask what part of your paycheck goes to just Gymboree) and it was fine.

I got half his retirement, let that grow and will get half his SS.

I was able to SAH for about 3-4 more years and now work full time.

My husband was making ~ 600k throughout the marriage and I’m not hurting for money.

Your husband made close to $10M over the course of the marriage and you only got half a million is the point. OP seems to think she’s set for life or should be and even you - with a previous million-dollar household - went back to work in less than five years.[/quote]
