[quote=Anonymous]I'm a WOHM. We make enough for me to retire. I would continue working even if I won the lottery. I think what I do is interesting, and I like contributing to the field I'm in. Frankly, I doubt I will every truly retire because I think I would just end up spending all my time on minutiae in ways that would drive me crazy, or becoming weirdly competitive about silly stuff. My mom was a SAHM, and I always felt she would have been happier if she had worked. She didn't like cooking, or cleaning, and seemed to resent us. She ended up taking a job at around age 65 doing something that had previously been a hobby, partly because she hadn't worked enough in her life to qualify for Social Security. She's fine financially but it just annoyed her. Anyway, she didn't sell me on being a SAHM, and I think working makes me a better mom.[/quote]
