How do you think the economy will affect decisions by women to stay at home versus work? With so many people losing jobs, do you think more women will be forced back into a job to help out (or take over) family finances? Is SAH parenting

not to mention that when I hear stories of financial distress- whatever the cause of it - I rarely chuckle.

I am sure you can research if you are that interested :)

Wrong on both counts.

Agreed, I can't imagine chuckling over information that is supposed to be private and not shared with a spouse.

Which is why I don't believe the statements being made.

No, not privy, Her DH has changed jobs frequently, and she fussed about him buying an expensive pair of running shoes, so I'm inclined to think they are not multimillionaires.

How much less of a salary do you think is a big jump in COL? I don't think between that town and mine makes a big enough difference.

Why do you think your experience is at all relevant to hers? I imagine the job market for a graphic artist with two years of college is quite different than that of a Ph.D in a specific discipline.


Did it ever occur to you that she had to move where she could get a job, as positions in her specialty are highly competitive?
