Do you believe its okay to be a house wife and not have your own job?

[jennifer_bloom]

I've been trying to get rich these last 4 years by coming up with the perfect idea for netting wealth. I thought if I got married, my work might be pointless cause I might not need to to have a good career anymore. Even though I believe I will one day marry, I was chasing my back up plan in case things did not turn out the way I expected them too. The back up plan is a job and not another guy, if you have reading comprehension issues here.

Yes, it's perfectly fine to be a housewife. Fourth-wave feminist like to shame and bully women who want to be housewives or stay home moms, but these feminist are in the minority (and most of them regret it later in life.) There is absolutely nothing wrong if you want to be a housewife or have a career. It's your life.

Just be sure to talk to your boyfriend/husband if you do want to be a housewife. It’s pretty costly these days (thanks to our incompetent government) so he’ll have to find a good paying job to support both of you which may take some planning and time, but more power to you both especially if you guys have kids. Being a stay home mom is certainly a full-time job. It’s hard, but very fulfilling and statistically kids do better with a parent staying home rather than both of them working.

If you can afford it and noth of you agree to it. But I think it is a good idea for both parties to be employed so you have a backup plan if one of you gets terminated.

I'm convinced that only ignorant idiots would shame a woman for prefering to be a plain housewife without a so-called own job, as if being a housewife wasn't already a real full time job in itself...

[Miristheiss]

Sure. When you have kids. They need mom to take care of them and instill the families values. Once the kids are in school though, it is probably best to do something even if it is part time.

[butterly248]

Part time yes but cleaning g is exhausting

[MrOracle]

If the guy can afford it (even if you have to go down in lifestyle a bit), then, yes, it's perfectly fine. Of course, this means that you would be taking care of the home and taking care of your husband as your "job", but, yes, this is the most desirable situation.

It's not the worst idea to have something you can do in an emergency situation, but it would be better for everyone if that wasn't your primary focus, because the most important thing is family, not career.

You don’t get rich by coming up with perfect ideas for getting rich. You might get rich if you actually create something of value. If you are not executing and producing work after four years of planning and brainstorming, you need to ask yourself some hard questions about whether or not you can execute. If your idea is one that takes years of rumination before execution, you need to get a day job while you work out your idea on the side.

Regardless of who or if you marry always have the skills needed to make money and support yourself. Husbands, boyfriends, lovers can come and they can go. What’s left when they go? You! Depend on No one but yourself for your survival.

[madhatters4]

absolutely so long as it works for the family.

[madhatters4]

i also think it's fine if the husband is the homemaker.

i think if couples earn enough from one salary, especially if they have kids, being able to afford a life with one parent at home can be really helpful and make life easier.

[Charliefretz329]

It’s great to be a “good” housewife or house husband. But those should be very productive jobs and can also be super profitable. There is still lots of opportunity to manage a home well enough to rake in a huge bounty.

[John_Cobretti]

Of couse

Home making is a job in my opinion

[Mangospacho]

Being a stay at home mom is a job - a very tough one too.

[Masterodd]

Personally, I see nothing wrong with being a housewife, some women find that to be VERY fulfilling.. Someday I hope I can find one of them.

[Anonymous]

Yes, it's okay. Plus the average age of a millionaire is in their 50s. So you won't be getting rich anytime soon.

[Jumpintoadstool]

Yes, as long as you can afford it and both parties are fine with it. Anyone who has a problem with it can get a life.

[shortster]

Sure. Besides you can still pursue your writing goals as a housewife.

[Slim57]

Yeah totally if you can make it work but it's extremely tough in this day and age

[Sabretooth]

That's false hope. This world doesn't allow for such things.

[BourbonAndBacon]

It's ok if that's what makes you happy

[butterly248]

Ofc and it is a very hard thing to do!

[Nifrayu]

That's pretty much my dream job.

[purplepoppy]

Don't marry for money.


Divorce for it.

[shereeyaa]

Perfectly Normal

[Twalli]

If you have kids, up until then, no.

[SUMAIREBRAHIM]
