re: Why don't more wives demand their own retirment account?

Your opinion is based on taking a statistic and saying all stay at home wives fit in that group.

No my statistical evidence says that a large majority of the country is financially illiterate. By further deducing that evidence that really the only sector of the country that is financially literate as a whole are people with a background in accounting/finance of course not all but as a group most are). Now take the percentage of stay at home moms that have that background (which is going to be low because of their earning potential) and you can reasonably infer that most stay at home moms are not active investors.

I'm certaintly not saying that stay at home moms can't be active investors or know what they're doing. Or that they don't have a hard job for that matter, but I've provided reasonable evidence that most mothers that stay at home are not going to be savy in investing by statistics and using deductive reasoning.

You on the other hand said you know 25 women that are so I am completely wrong.

See the difference there.
