"I just don't want to work"

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...

It's a percentage of the gain (20%, I think, to be raised to 30%). However, if the money is rolled over into new housing within a year, the tax payment for can be deferred (until death, if I recall correctly, after which it will be collected from the estate).
eta: Any and all work or renovations done on the house (including all labor and materials costs) are deducted from the gain before the tax is calculated.

More power to you.
Yes. We. Did.
"But even so, it's not like I'll have children in my house for the rest of my life, or at least not at the age where they need the amount of energy and one-on-one care that they do now."
This is why everyone's lives and perspectives are different.
