because I built a career I can afford it.

I stayed at home and took care of my husband so that he could build his career. The difference between us is that when we had kids I got to stay home with them but when you find someone to marry, you'll have to go back to work and have strangers raise them. You won't be getting a well-paid alpha male to marry you (because of your age and mileage) so it's gonna be a beta male and you won't be able to afford to quit work. Sad.

When you said you travel I thought you actually meant traveling...not visiting dumps like Vegas.

What's hilarious is that unless you're a stewardess, it's very likely I'm better travelled than you.

I have enough in the bank that I don’t have to work once I have kids. The Seattle tech market was very good to me - and women are doing well in tech all over.

I might hire a maid to come in every few days - and also perhaps an assistant to help out from time to time so I can pursue life to its fullest.

I sense that perhaps you live in the heartland and that’s a very different place than the city. I grew up in Northern Iowa and if you live in a place like that, you are probably on the right track for your part of the world.

I disliked living in a rural world and changed my situation. It was the military - which admittedly had some drawbacks, but I got a good education and opportunities. It worked for me and I see no reason why it won’t continue to.

You're a country girl with an inferiority complex who watches way too much reality tv.

Nothing wrong w/ being a country girl. Maybe try embracing it and just be yourself instead of bragging about your fantasy of having a lifestyle that includes staff.
