| Needing two incomes for the same lifestyle that one income could provide decades ago is a scam. |

Get rid of one of your cars No iPhones No out of state college Driving vacations - nothing international Mostly eat at home No cable Much smaller home No cleaners or yard people I could go on… |

Only a woman would complain that they have no time for self care.

Exactly. Feminism exists because most women can't be trophy wives. |

I have 0 cars I’m not going to be able to save for state college never mind out of state but my parents didn’t either I have never taken my kids on a vacation that’s not visiting family (by driving) We eat mostly at home We don’t have cable Two kids in a one-bedroom apartment No cleaners (also no yard people although also no yard) Somehow I don’t think my problem is the three 2-8 year old iPhones I pay for. |

You have two incomes just to live like this in a one bedroom?? You might as well quit, it won’t be a hit to your lifestyle at all. |

On average in America, wages have increased by 80% since the 1970s and the Consumer Price Index has increased by over 500% since the 1970s. Is there a place in America where wages have increased at the same rate the CPI has? |

This. You misspelled “capitalism” in your thread title. In the places in the world where the governments job is the people who live in their country, you would not have this problem. |

| A working woman almost always works harder than a working man if they have kids. He is never making the beds or cooking and doing dishes and buying groceries. If they outsource all tasks, the woman still has what I call the "executive stress" of hiring and managing staff. She also usually runs all hobbies and family socializing. In the rare cases in which the man does more, he does not plan to do so for decades, and is usually just biding his time until he can divorce her. A WAM (Wife and Mother" is defined as a SOF (Servant of the Family) in the eyes of most men and other women unless she was born extremely wealthy. Whatever paid labor a WAM does outside the home is on top of her fixed family labor. The European scientist who was pivotal in creating the COVID vaccine...literally saving the world...still did the lion's share of the home management and child-related admin. |

Unless you have independent wealth, as a trophy wife you would be entirely dependent on your DH for the economic security of both yourself and your children.
For some people this arrangement works out and for others it doesn’t. How would you feel if you were a trophy wife with a few kids and DH decides to leave you for a younger hotter trophy wife? Fortunately, today, you have the ability to work in nearly any job, get credit in your name, etc. We easily forget that these things are a relative anomaly in human history. |
