[quote=Anonymous]I do not know of anyone who married a rich man, but a lot of them became rich during the course of their marriage.

We are not rich (HHI is 350K),  I am SAHM and my  DH is in a low stress and very secure job with tons of benefits.  We are financially quite secure and do not have worries for the future (generous pension, no debts, college covered,  medical, lots of insurance).  If we have the need to pull out 500K for any unexpected cost, we can do it.   We live a comfortable lifestyle with cleaners, eating out, vacations, organic foods etc.

My DH can make a lot of money and we can definitely quadruple  our net-worth in a few years if he pursues other opportunities but it will mean insane work hours and not having a very laid back lifestyle with our kids.  So we are happy where we are.   We also have a solid marriage, and we spend a lot of time together as a couple so we are at a very good place relationshipwise.  We also hold all our assets together and I manage all the money and investments, so monetary concerns are not a driving factor.

There are very few people in our group of friends who make more than us and have intact marriages/ successful kids as well. There is probably no one that I know whose life and fortune I am envious of. I feel  very blessed.  I do not envy any other woman who is working because it is a much harder life than what I lead. I have a comfortable, non-hectic life where I take care of my house, my kids and myself. They on the other hand  have a full time job  AND they have to do everything at home too.  [/quote]
