[quote=Anonymous]Since we are all sharing anecdotes, I will tell you that the two most bitter divorced people I’ve ever met were female breadwinners.

Think long and hard about how you’ll feel when you’re going through pregnancy complications/breastfeeding/PPD/whatever else and you have no choice but to keep working. Other women around you will likely have the ability to stop, at least for a time. However, the hard truth is that, if you’re already in your mid-30s, this might be your last chance to have kids.

And yes, since everyone is mentioning it, I know that blue collar people can be breadwinners, even when they are coupled with high-earning white collar people. But your average white collar professional, especially in a major metropolitan area, will generally out earn your average blue collar worker.  And let’s not pretend the exceptions disprove the rule. For example, I knew an electrician who made millions (he did all the electrical work for a major stadiums and stuff), but you could argue that the made those millions not necessarily by doing electrical work, but using his knowledge of electrical work, which he parlayed into successful business deals. Anyway, I digress. [/quote]
