[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was out for 6 years when my kid was young.  I kind of had to be and don't really regret it, but now I see that my social security benefits really took a loss from that empty space where I made no money to raise my social security benefits and also contributed nothing to my 401k.

Now I'm in my 50s and really need to make up my retirement savings.  If we get divorced, I will be in a tough spot.  Husband's salary went up of course ha as did his social security benefits while I did almost all the work at home.  You don't really know what will happen to your marriage and you might need to take care of yourself at some point, so be wary is what I'm saying I guess.  It might seem like an escape but that might just be temporary and then you have different, perhaps bigger, problem.[/quote]

No, they are all rich and have perfect, loving, understanding husbands. Just ask them. [/quote]

I have a rich, mostly perfect, loving, understanding husband, so I have no regrets or doubts. If that weren’t 100% true, I would feel differently, and wouldn’t have quit in the first place. In fact before I did I started a thread on this board very similar to this one, and I really had to stop and probe my security in my husband and marriage. [/quote]
