[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I married in my early twenties a big law attorney. We have five children and I stay at home. I am happy with how it’s all going so I guess that’s considered a success.[/quote]
Are you me?[/quote]

Until he has an affair or loses his job. People can get sick, have accidents, die early and become disabled. What are you going to do then? Just keep that head in the sand. Life is long and can change in an instant.[/quote]

Aliens can invade. A volcano can erupt.

Anyone can get sick and die early or have any tragedy take place and being happy with one's current choices does not equate having a head in the sand.

I'm not saying there isn't value in having your own career, but you do realize that there are things you can do to mitigate risk of being left destitute if a spouse left you or got sick or died, including prenups, life insurance, long-term disability insurance etc. For a lot of these people, the hardest part would be the heartbreak, not an economic hit.
