[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in awe of my classmates from college and medical school. Many of them are now partners at law firms married to a physician or another high level professional. I guess jobs now are more flexible as some have over 3 kids. I’m estimating their joint incomes to be 500-800k across the board. Growing up, it seemed that being a SAHM with high earner dad was high status/ privileged but now it’s having now having a mom as a law partner / dad surgeon with tons of money in your 529k. I bet this means that young men now are looking to marry someone who can put them into that next tax bracket vs sometime we can care for the kids. [/quote]

Money makes life comfortable but more money after a certain level doesn't make relationships better. If that was the case my physician group wouldn't have relationship issues and shark lawyers as most discussed topic. Obviously SAHM partners are only good if they actually are willing and capable of happily managing family as a 75/25 partner. [/quote]
