[quote=Anonymous]MIL, who's in her 80s, started working when she was widowed at age 50. She had some tough years but got through. Two of her daughters never worked. They're in their early 60s. One is well provided for by her husband who set up various funds, insurances, etc to cover her lifestyle in the event of his death. The other already lives hand to mouth and has no savings. They're typical of their generations. The only thing the extended family worry about, is how the second SIL will be able to support herself if her husband becomes incapacitated. To me the whole debate of SAHM vs WOHM is missing the point. One is not better or superior to the other. The bottom line is really financial responsibility and solvency. If you are solely dependent on your spouse's income and has absolutely no safety net or emergency funds, then staying at home is really the wrong choice for you.[/quote]
