Do you think you should rely on a man?

I thought the following article was a good read. It conveys an important message that whatever you decide to do, be prepared to support yourself because you can't count on a man to be there to take care of you. The author found herself divorced, her ex quit his job and she had a very hard time making ends meet:
No matter what you do in life, whether you aspire to career greatness or whether you embrace motherhood and housekeeping with open arms, or whether you find yourself doing both of these things at the same time, do it well. Do it with everything you have, with all your heart and with great gusto. But do it wisely.
Don't ever make the same mistake I did and put your life in someone else's hands. And always, always, ALWAYS have a Plan B.
Tell your daughters and your granddaughters and all the other girls in your life this: It's OK to fall in love and have babies and be the homemaker. It's also OK to go to law school or business school or medical school or to beauty school or trade school. In fact, it's more than OK if you want to do BOTH. Better than OK... it's the smart thing to do. Tell our girls that they really can have it all, but ALL on their terms.
This is something I feel very strongly about, you never know what life has in store for you so you should be prepared.
What do you think of her advice?

Actually, You're wrong. Puking inside my mouth isn't judgemental, it's humor at the costs of a site you pay money for despite your argument otherwise, friend even finds it funny. I'm sorry you don't know my friend. Do stop the whose judging who savcal.
So then you understand others who have friends who are out of state or far away?
Understand? That makes no sense. I never said I didn't have friends out of state or far away.
Why would you say the things you did about bord not understanding then?
Never said that.
Why did you make the assumption about ignoring people? You didn't answer the question about your made up assumptions.

Again, where do you read your kindle when you are out of the house?
I really need to learn that block feature on facebook, there's apparently some stalkers that know my friends there more than I, Makes me shriek.... And well, puke inside my mouth a little..
<<Why would you say the things you did about bord not understanding then?

I kinda lost track....here are a few.
<<You don't have many friends now, do you? lolololol>>
<<When you don't have many friends, I can see how you couldn't.>>
<<Who said anything about lying to them? Again, a little couth goes a long way. You would know that if you REALLY had real friends.>>
<<Again, your friends OFF this board. Don't you have any friends that are NOT on this board or any other online board?>>
<<o you don't come up with many situations like the one Jams has spoken about because it seems many, if not all of your friends are online. Not much "face time".>>
<<And I was speaking of friends you see IRL, not just every once in awhile.>>
<<EXACTLY. I don't consider someone you speak ONLY online and see a few times a year THAT type of friend. >>
<<No, it doesn't but for conversations like the one presented to us, you are hiding behind a computer and it sounds like you don't have much IRL friends that you interact with on a regular basis. THIS is the reason you are not getting what we are talking about.>>
<<Sorry to hear that. I wouldn't be happy seeing my friends only "every once in awhile".>>
<<Not agreeing with someone about their choices is TOTALLY normal AND to still be their friend. Talking behind their back to another friend, THAT is not right. Talking about a story to strangers online to total strangers makes no difference in the friendship between the 2 people. She still supported her decision. That is what a friend does for a friend. Since you don't seem to spend much time with friends IRL, I guess it is harder to understand. >>
<<EXACTLY. Friends help one another and support one another. If you have no IRL friends that you see on a regular basis, it is probably hard to understand that. Relationships online are MUCH different.>>
<<That's nice. I like to see my friends more often than that. That is how we are close friends. Spending time together and doing things together makes you closer friends.>>

What on earth are you talking about and why are you bringing special needs children into the conversation? Yanked out of public school?
