When I was in high school, I had a friend who was very smart - top of our class. But they were odd, and sometimes, they kind of smelled. A few weeks before graduation, this friend invited me to their home for the first time. They, and a bunch of siblings, lived in a two room, poorly insulated.... building. Not two bedroom. Two room. There was no shower - there was sort of an outdoor structure with a hose thrown over the top. Suddenly so much made sense. But how did this happen?

幾秒內	Rebecca \| Life Design + Encouragement rebeccadesignsalife	The father had passed, and medical debts for end of life care had devastated the family. The mother had no education and no work experience, and then suddenly no support, a bunch of kids, and a mountain of debt. All while struggling through grief I haven't had to face. What is my point? You can trust your spouse to the end of the world, but you DO NOT KNOW what the future will hold. EVERY PERSON needs their own money, and their own income. "What if he leaves you" isn't just about divorce.

Or at least plan for them (& the family in case something happens). Surprisingly many opposed this, saying that you shouldn't put a $ value on housework and caregiving. I think what some people don't realise is the thread starter was talking about financial security for the SAHM (or partner) & family. What you posted is exactly
