[quote=Anonymous]A woman who can save $1m by 33 is likely highly educated and socially skilled. She can likely attract a man who can afford for her to be a SAHM permanently, without the FIRE lifestyle tradeoffs. If she does marry a sad-sack FIRE unemployed man, he will stick out like a sore thumb in her family and friend group, which is likely full of people who have found good jobs that they don't mind working, and have way more disposable income, and do something other than sit around the house. She'll be giving up what feels to her like a normal lifestyle, and being left out of family and friend get-togethers because OP won't want to pay for the travel. Everyone will judge their cheap parenting as harmful to the kids. Basically she'll have to endure a lot of social approbation and isolation. And for what? She could just as easily retire early by marrying a richer guy. [/quote]
