    More money you make, the more you spend.... in general.

    You will find the majority of people don't care which spouse makes more money.

    If I was making 30 grand and my wife was making 300 grand I'd care.

    I wouldn't bitch about it though

    Oh my God. Context is everything. That shouldn't be funny. But it was.

    No. I'd be fine with that. Hell I'd be fine if my wife made as much as I do.

    My wife went into medicine. I went into the natural sciences. You do the math.

    I've made more money than my wife for most of 30 years...now she's going to work for another 10 years after I retire so things are changing but it doesn't matter to either of us who makes the money

    I can't wait till my fiancee and I own a winery and its all just one income. Something we create, something we have pride in and something that can afford us a happy life with a vacation every now and then. The money will be the same but she will have the more prestigious title of "winemaker" and I'll just be assistant wine maker and business the business manager.

    Man, I'd love it if my wife made more than me. When she took 4-6 months off work to get us settled into our new community, my salary covered everything (and my family is covered 100% health-wise by my employer). Our bank account stayed flat. We were not longing for a damn thing.

    So a big salary for her would be purely filling in the bank account.

    Just got off working 14h and fucked up. oh well. I had to write the word pallet about 50 times today because so many people label their wines using pallet numbers. like 17-ch-rrv-bbl43-postml-pallet18. My head is numb. I need to drink.

    Sometimes I feel like I'd love to be a stay at home dad while my better piece supports the family.

    My wife is an over achiever. She is a consummate pro. That paycheck reflects years of hard work, years of night school & career success. Gender should not block an Individuals' goals. I'm lucky to be part of her life!!!
