[quote=Anonymous]DH here. I think a lot of this depends on the circumstances. A GS 15 step 10 DH and a DW making $200-$250k is a very different dynamic from a DH making $50k and a DW making $150k. I make about $200k and my DW is a 15 step 5. She has made more than me at times in the past, although I have generally made more. I appreciate the security of her fed job, the pension, and that the salary allows us a lifestyle we wouldn’t have if she was less successful. If I get promoted again, I will likely move to more like $300k. I believe she will get her SES, but her real money would come in the private sector. I would be fine with any outcome. I have great work life balance, get to work from home 80% of the time, crazy good atypical benefits, etc. if she can be more successful, more power to her. [/quote]
