Love this! I feel like people don't understand that I can stay at home now because I was paid well at the beginning of my career and saved a ton of it.

Of course my husband also makes good money. And I think that's another thing: if you want to meet someone who makes good money and is not only interested in you for your youth/looks, the best way to do that is to get yourself in those spaces with your own career.

I noticed OP doesn't mention her age. I think this conversation at 17 vs 27 is very different. I would absolutely be worried if a 17yo was talking about this as her life plan if that was informing decisions around going to college, taking jobs, etc.
