Is it bad I want my degree but I want to be a housewife? Like no kids really I just want to bake and do house duties and garden like all day. I’ll work for a while, but eventually I kinda just want to settle…

High key it depends on if you and your partner are both comfortable with living on only one main source of income. The pro is that you’ll be happy and the con is just not maximizing potential income.

I’d say to be a house wife without kids is not a fair balance of duties or what you would contribute to the marriage. The exception to this is if you are the type of housewife that is a borderline business partner with your husband. Traveling, making plans, etc.

One good argument I’ve heard is that if you plan to be a sahm don’t put yourself into debt to get a degree and then basically have your husband pay it off but I’ve also heard women say that if they didn’t have a degree to fall back on when they divorced then both them and their children would have been screwed

If you end up making it work that way with someone that’s great, I just think it would likely result in resentment or frustration for the man, since he would be working a full time job and, without kids, there’s really only a few hours of work you need to do a day to keep everything clean, dinner made, etc. It could also work if you have a side job or business that you do part time.

Personally, I want to be a sahm too but only when my children are young and im omw to medical school so that I can help contribute to my families financial stability
