[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM mom to a high earner (whom I married when we were in college) but it was a total fluke. I dated lots of men who never had high earning potential and was even engaged to one of them.

I never wanted to be a SAHM but then health issues made working really hard for me, and DH never wanted to be a big law partner, but he found that the work really suits his abilities.

I am so glad I didn't try to marry for money. My husband is awesome. [/quote]

I’m sorry you married a lawyer. Him being wealthy is hardly a shock. Most lawyers are in it for the money, let’s be real. You would have known early own if he was planning to be a hair shirt environmental or law enforcement lawyer, and I’m sure you would have bailed. [/quote]

Are you under the impression that most lawyers earn lots of money? They typically don’t. [b]Median is like 120. [/b]Solid but that’s about it. DH and I knew this when he applied to law school so we definitely didn’t imagine he would ever hit his current salary (575). Plus, he started in 2009, right as all my friends were losing jobs and offers. He didn’t go to a top law school so he was just hoping for a decent-paying job.

Your comment is just obnoxious so I probably shoot just ignore it but I do think that my experience shows that it’s all just luck unless you’re born into wealth.

Also I was (or am, I suppose) a lawyer too so you should feel at least as sorry for my husband.  [/quote]

This is freaking tone deaf. First off, your median includes those hair shirt mission lawyers, public defenders, and DA.

Second, that’s more then a pediatrician earns.

Finally, all those “poor” big law refugees going Fed end up at non supv GS15, hardly a teachers salary.

You KNEW that marrying lawyer had a median chance of being quite comfortable, and good chance of being more. [/quote]
