I could see how this could make sense -- This presumes a high earner and not a movie star/athlete or family money billionaire situation.

He agrees to give me control over the family budget and investments. I decide on schools, medical issues, college, etc... for our children. If he owns or later acquires a business, I'm given a 50% ownership stake in it. Any inheritance or gifts from his family become jointly owned. If he has a child with someone else while we're married, funding for that child will be limited to $25K/year. I don't want any woman to think that getting pregnant by him would make her rich.

If we no longer want to be married it's up to me and my lawyers to officially divorce or not. Either way, he can live his own life separate from me and I get $350K/annually (with COLA) for the remainder of my life. (I'd require a trust that holds enough money to fund this in case he blows his money before completing all the obligations to me. I'd figure out a way to receive his income in such a way that I can monitor it.) When I reach age 65, I get a lump sum of $2M to transition into retirement living. I'd probably use this to buy a modest summer home. When he dies, I get 80% of his estate even if he remarries or has more children. Up until 5 years of marriage, I get the title to the house and 10% of his net worth. Upon 5 years of marriage, I get 25% of his net worth if we divorce, and 50% at 10 years. At 15 years and thereafter, I get 60%. Under a divorce scenario, he gets nothing of mine. I keep membership in all clubs and anything special he has access to. If we have children, I get full physical and legal custody and $75K/annually with COLA per child for child support until they turn 23. I'll encourage them to spend lots of time with him but they'll live/go to school where I am living if he moves away. If I choose to put them in private K-12 school, he pays for that. He funds 100% of college expenses, including privates. If they go to graduate school, he pays for at least half of it.

If marriage ends with his death, his estate goes entirely to me upon his death, regardless of other children from other marriages. I'll decide whether/how much to give them myself.

Depends on age range of the women you’re looking to date. If you want a hot chick in her 20’s it’s not realistic to expect 200k+ unless you are both handsome and rich yourself.

If you’re dating middle aged professionals, sure.

The ones who do probably have a spending problem and are looking for a woman to help them make ends meet. You don't want to be that woman.

I didn't sign up for it as much as it just happened. We were both working F/T with a toddler who was constantly getting sick in daycare. DH had the higher-paying, less flexible job, and I really missed my baby during the day. After baby #2, I became a P/T home-based consultant and never looked back. I wouldn't trade the years I spent being with the kids for anything.
