[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those who are so critical of OP's lifestyle, how many women do you know who don't earn any money and rely on their husband's income for their lifestyle?

Do you view them as "kept" women who lack self esteem and do you warn them that when they get older and they lose their looks, their husbands will dump them for a younger woman?[/quote]

If I was a "trophy wife" that might be a concern (I am not, never have been, we married for love and to raise a family together).  But even so, if my husband decided to dump me for a younger woman, I would still be entitled to my share of our assets.

Vs.

A "kept woman" is kept as long as the man wants her.  When he ceases to want her, that's it for her. She is completely relying on his whims of today.  Tomorrow, she might be yesterday's news, dirty laundry, a skeleton pushed way back in his closet...on her own.

I'm not a trophy wife or a kept woman. I actually make more. I think that if a woman is going to willingly engage in a lifestyle that is 100% subsidized by someone else, it would be smart of her to make sure that the apartment is in her name (so that she will not instantly become homeless if he moves on all of a sudden), that the car or whatever large gifts are also in her name (for same reasons). If I was in the OP's situation, I would try to find a way to put some of the money into savings, investments, etc. I would do the same if I was a SAHM with no income of my own. It would be important to me to create savings accounts in case something changed in the future. An emergency fund, a nest egg - call it whatever you want.

The OP is trusting that she will be able to cover her expenses if this man ends their arrangement. I don't think her ideas about her career prospects are realistic, but you know what? It's not my problem.[/quote]
