Most women have it wrong, either marry a Mr Mom type or you don't wear all hats at the same time.

Don't wear the hats consecutively, do it like this:

20's - Single playtime, time for going all in on college and career, invest $

30's - Have your babies, take a break to raise them into late ES

40's - Go back to work part-time or full-time if it's flexible, your kids are more independent and don't need daycare

50's - Kids are grown, do whatever work you enjoy

60's - Work, play and enjoy the grandkids[/quote]

I did college, marriage, investing and career in my 20s. Kids and career and investing in my 30s.

Break in my 40s...spend time with kids and successfully helped them launch...till early 50s...

I think the best couple time I spent with my DH was in my teens and twenties, forties and fifties.  We were excellent partners in parenting in our 30s together but being a couple required a lot more juggling.
 
I am in my early 50s now...and looking back at the successes in our relationship, children, finances is lot more satisfying.

I have no idea what I will do as my youngest is ready to launch...but life and time is precious. It's got to be worthwhile.being with my kids in the school years middle school and high school was where I could make the most impact. After early childhood, I found MS and HS most challenging.

My career helped give me  financial freedom so happy for that. My family remains my biggest accompalishment to date.
