Re: be honest

[(Anonymous)]

The thing is, most people base their major life decisions on what their current needs are, not on possible future worst-case scenarios. Deciding to pursue a career you dislike instead of doing what inspires and satisfies you simply because of the possibility that your now-happy marriage might die someday is kind of like refusing to pursue a career that involves a lot of physical activity because one day you might have a disabling accident. Yes, it happens to people and they can end up in dire straits because of it, but is that a good reason to turn down the chance to do what you want and have the means to afford because of the fear of something that may never happen?

It also doesn't address your comments on ambition and passion. There are more kinds of ambition than the ones that make you money.

Re: be honest

Uh this whole thread was basically about 'yeah but what's your plan B?' People who do physical jobs also need a plan B - in many cases, they aim to make enough money and connections during a relatively short career to transition to a different, less physically demanding career later. No one has yet offered an equivalent for the 50% of SAHs whose marriages will end in divorce.

Really? My boyfriend's father just turned fifty, and as far as I know he doesn't have a "plan B" for his career in construction. I don't think he's that atypical; that's why disability insurance exists.

Re: be honest

Yeah that is sadly true, though wise people try. More construction workers than first marriages make it to 50 years old, though, and you don't earn unemployment or social security credits for being an SAH.
