[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the women vs men jobs poster. Actually, I make 50% more than DH, and I have a STEM grad degree. He has an English major BA. also, I do most of the personal finance in our house.

My post is not “privileged”, women of every class should be looking for the most lucrative career path, and everyone should learn personal finance. What’s wrong with that?[/quote]

My "privileged" comment was in response  to the below comment, which i think was in response to your comment. Because that person said they'll never break 6 figures - which i find hard to believe, is the same post as yours where you say you make 50% more than your spouse.

"Money was definitely an afterthought when I picked my career and I would do it again. I selected my career because it’s what I wanted to do, not because it would make me rich. I’ll never break 6 figures, even though I have an advanced degree. That’s okay. I’m comfortable, I’m happy, I’m challenged, and I’m proud of what I do. I want the same for my own children. There’s no reason for your frustration; there are more ways for women to show their strength than a paycheck. "
