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...

I guess. At the time prop 13 was passed, inflation was running away from us, so they certainly didn't *want* it to be the same as inflation at that time. They probably set it at what they though inflation should be. If it were regulated to be the same as inflation all of the time, then there would be no protection if inflation goes crazy again like it did in the 70s. Sometimes inflation is less than 2%, too.

Actually, I never said I knew more than you. I didn't even bring it up. You asked me where I got my stats, and I told you I was in a field related to real estate and had access to the lists I was talking about. If you think for one second anyone who knows you are tinder will give you an ounce of information deliberately, you are kidding yourself, that's all. I only asked you how you knew so much because you continued to ask me, even after I explained why I didn't want to tell you. I'm having a great day, however. :)

I agree with you on this one. It's pretty simple, I think that anyone with a JD could do it.

You're a WAHM not a SAHM.
