[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't stay at home spouses realize they are losing out on retirement savings like 401k + Employer match?[/quote] Of course they realize that. It is still possible to retire with one income if you're smart about saving and investing. Also, a lot of SAH parents do it for a few years then eventually go back to some type of work. [/quote] With a federal government pension, this is significantly less of a concern. Also, our family has always maxed out our retirement savings (including non-working spouse when she was working) so there's more than enough money for a comfortable retirement.[/quote] I would hope that they have a strong relationship. I always worked (DH earns a big salary and we live below our means) even though there were crazy years so I would be able to support myself if needed. Luckily, we are emptynesters, happily married and have two nice incomes.[/quote]
