How reasonable a request is it to expect your husband to make a good salary?

A man 30 years old and above should make at least 120k. In this city that’s the bare minimum. By mid 30s he should make at least 150k

Then he’s husband and father material.

I do believe that's the key to a happy marriage, family and life.

Are you the poster whose husband makes 90k at 30 and posts over and over again about how it’s not enough?

He should expect the same from you! Both people should have ambition and potential though it's not all about money.

About as reasonable as it is to expect your wife to make a good salary.

[Anonymous]

how much do you make, OP?

OP, I gather at the very least you're under 28, naturally thin and blonde, and your thigh gap is out of this world? Otherwise, don't even bother "in this city."

If a man said he wanted his wife to earn good money instead of being a SAHM, the DCUM women would decry him as shallow and materialistic. Just sayin'

And what is the median income in the various jurisdictions in this region? You may be excluding 80 or 90% of men based solely on income, and God knows what percentage of just the white collar crowd. What’s your plan?

I mean, go find what you want then. All of your "shoulds" aren't necessary and I've found people only start getting agitated throwing out what "should" be when they can't get their demands met. If you are what a guy like that wants, you should be good. If you aren't cute/fit/fun/nice enough then it looks like you've got some work to do.

Good point. OP, have you thought about why haven't you found the man of your dreams yet?

The amount of money a man makes has nothing to do with what kind of father/husband he'll be.

I’m 28. I make 60k as a BSW with 4 yrs social work experience. There’s no way I could ever make 150k in my mid 30’s unless I changed careers entirely.

I think how someone manages their money is important. In some parts of the county, you can be a SAHM if your spouse makes 100k or so.
