SAH/WOH - Why?

I am sure this has been done before but I was wondering this in light of recent posts lately.

Why did you decide to sah/woh?

Was it a choice or something expected of you?

Was your plan to sah/woh though out or impulsive? Long-term or short-term?

You wrote it in present tense.

So what is your explanation about why the truck is not materialistic now that you're not working?

I am going back to work next year. Again is someone materialistic because they drive a nice car? Do you own any designer clothes?

It takes energy to run factories, to make cars.....

Whether you buy a new car or not...that car will be made and sitting at a dealership. Are you going to drive that minivan for the next 40 years?
