[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you have a work history and only do it for a few years, you’ll be okay. I took 7 years off and then again 2 during the pandemic. After which I decided to separate. It has been really difficult and there has been financial abuse and I had no one else to turn to for help (including my parents). So I recommend you have access to an emergency fund, have a 401k for your SAH years with DH contributing, and have your own account(s) and cards. Keep your resume up to date, stay relevant. [/quote] This, OP. My mother was SAHM and my father used that advantage to be cruel. The family was also very stressed when my father lost his good job and had to take menial work. Then my mother had to go back to work... and that was the happiest time, because she had her own money and work friends. SaHMs, and their families, are very vulnerable. [/quote]
