"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...

my "small" son is 16 years old and stands 5'7"...(3 inches taller than me!)...His snack?
So $60/week = 8.57/day = 2.85/meal = .95/person for 3 three people or .71/person for 4 people.
Can you give a typical menu for a day or two?

I made a BBQ beef (gotta love that crockpot!), herb-roasted potatoes and canned corn.

Is that what you consider healthy?

But they are pretty inexpensive.

I cant see feeding 4 full size people on such a minimal amount.
We eat pretty well and I'm pretty careful about what and how I spend our grocery budget.

Point is that you couldn't have bought them individually most likely because the higher quality of those foods is much more expensive than the pre-packaged unit.
