needs to distinguish between "smart" and "wise"...

'Wise Woman'? Is that like 'Jumbo Shrimp'?

Lol. My point is that, while an intelligent woman might go for the high-powered career, expensive SUV, big house with oppressive mortgage, etc., I wouldn't consider such a person wise if she didn't realize that there are sacrifices to be made with such an arrangement, like perhaps a meaningful relationship. IMHO it just isn't possible to "have it all" -- we're not all multimillionaires, and there are only so many hours in the day to earn the means to get all of the things we want in life.

I read somewhere that the largest cause of divorce was financial problems. I can't help but wonder how many of those were due to people trying to live beyond their means.
