    I'd be very happy, do you know any female doctors or meteorologists that's interested in an overweight college drop out?

    Because I'm such a rigid social conservative, my wife does not work, outside of making me sandwiches.

    But if she were to work, I'd want her to make as much money as possible. More than me would be awesome.

    My gf makes more than me. Why anyone would have a problem with that is a complete mystery to me.

    I think to your original point, @crandc, in a country of 300+M people from umpteen cultures and growing up with many differing mores, you're bound to find some people that think any number of ways. Hell, didn't 3% of black women in AL just vote for Roy Moore?

    Anecdotal one-offs don't necessarily mean something is a thing, though it may be getting tougher to state that as the news is full of it. I think you're seeing here that the vast majority of this particularly unrepresentative small sample don't see a problem with it.

    I geg where dude is coming from. As a provider it could be humbling when wife makes more. But the key is to be humble and not an ego maniac like dude at airport.

    You can only wear 1 outfit at a time. I stopped buying clothes until the stuff i have is covered in holes. I dont get a closet full of outfits. Just do laundry 3-4 times a week and have space. I watched that minimalism shit on netflix and it hit home, why do i want to spend life hording shit when i could spend life doing shit.

    PLEASE MAKE MORE MONEY THAN ME. You've earned it! Do it!

    It's called being a team. Not $elfish!

    I like money. More money is good. I don't care who gets it. More money = less stress.
