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...

Isn't that because those houses were built before subdivisions?

Now that you mention it, they really were wealthy. I just looked in Wikipedia and the fictional family was supposed to be staggeringly wealthy from investments (thus the tickertape) and inheritance.

I believe that the Addams house is one of the houses used on Desparate Housewives.

My mortgage payment is an even sharper contrast.

Super duper sharp! Bravo! I can't wait until I can say the same myself (about ten more years!).

But there's a sharp, sharp contrast between what she paid and what she'd pay today in DC also.
