Hi all... I'm new to the board and I am curious.


I am in my mid twenties, unmarried, no children. I work in an extremely competitive field with many other women my age. Many of us are making six figures and the job is very stressful. We all have a great work ethic, but sometimes when the stress gets really bad, I'll often hear the girls (never the guys) saying things like "Arrgghh... I'm so sick of work. I just want to marry a rich man, have kids, stay home and NOT WORK."....... I was raised by two working parents (two very loving, caring hardworking parents). My mother was very successful in her career, and I feel that when I get married, I will (like my mom) continue to work and raise children at the same time (my mom was definitely "super mom" ---she did it all and was great!)...... My main question: many of the women in my work stay in the position for about 5-7 years and then leave.....the funny thing is...

You could always pick up an old toilet somewhere and fill it with petunias.

We live in what I would consider to be a middle class neighborhood -- houses are around 2500 to 3500 sq feet, brick or wood, nice landscaping but nothing showy. One of our neighbors decided to put an iron bed frame in her yard and grow flowers in it. Vines all wrap around her flower bed. She evidently thinks it looks nice, or at least shabby chic. I just think it looks wierd. Her dogs think it's cool to pee on.

It's been around three years. Home values holding steady.
