[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a long-time SAHM of high schoolers, I freely admit that I am not very fulfilled. I was much happier when the kids were around more and I had more to do to take care of them. Now I am basically just a chauffer, cook and therapist. I think (hope) they appreciate me, but I was much more fulfilled when they were younger. Also, I have always been a SAHM and my salary was low when I quit, so the financial aspect was not a big deal for us. [/quote] Not to pile on you, but the financial aspect IS a big deal for anyone who quits. Your salary might have been low then but it would have grown over time and you haven't paid into social security or any kind of retirement. It's a lot of lost wealth. Too many people do not look at big picture when quitting work and just look at current cash flow.[/quote]
