[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For once in my life I feel ahead of the trend! I have been a SAHM since 2008 and became minimalist shortly after. I'm happy for these people that they are realizing a calmer, simpler life without so much consumerism can be extremely fulfilling. [/quote] What will you do once the kids don't need you as much? What would happen if your DH dies or you divorce? Is his life insurance worth $10mil? Because $1mil would not be enough if you have kids and a mortgage. Or maybe you have wealthy parents. Most women should not rely on a man as their plan long term. Sure, if you have kids, take some time off, but if you completely step back from the workplace, you are basically playing Russian Roulette with your and your kids' futures.[/quote][/quote] If he dies I am set for life and more. We have a lot of assets. If we divorce, I’m still totally fine on half the assets. We have no mortgage, the kids are teens and their college is already saved fully. I also sub at our local preschool and probably will work there on a more regular basis once my youngest leaves for college. [/quote]
