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...

That's an interesting assessment, how did you come to it? How do you figure tax revenues went down?

<<I'm not sure if it is made up elsewhere.>>


That's why it's fiscally irresponsible.

>>And appraised value is not the same as fair market value. Otherwise, they would just call it all fair market value. And they don't. Again, you're trying to simplify it and apply your particular ken of experience to a field in general and you're getting mixed up.<<

Sorry dear, I'm not the mixed up one. My entire point was that YOU were describing appraised value and then erroneously calling it market value. I'm aware that they are different things. You could try reading the pose again, because it's quite clear that I am saying they are two different things.

Yes, I am in the field. They have these crazy things, they are lists of homes that have been sold. You can even look at them whenever you want. It lists all the homes that have been sold in a particular area. Imagine that.

LOL... whether or not it's fiscally responsible depends on how much I personally know about it? That's a hoot.
