[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a former private school teacher, now doing something else. I only took two years off to sah, but I have always been a very low earner. I'm also a frugal diy type of person, my job provides us with health insurance, and I have always been very helpful to my dh's career, managing all kid responsibilities so he was free to work long hours when he needed to to advance his career (he has much more flexibility now). My feeling is that income is only a part of finances for a couple. How you spend and how you save matter just as much. And of course that is only the financial part of a marriage. There is so much more to it. [/quote]

Not juggling two big jobs while raising kids is huge. I've been a freelancer for a long time so I have time to all the kid stuff. It's worked out just fine for us. For the naysayers: if we divorce (doubtful since it's been over 20 years now and we are still happy), we'll split our assets and be just fine because we've always lived simply and saved during our marriage. It's possible even in an expensive area.[/quote]
