[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marrying my spouse.[/quote]

+1 same here. My wife supercharged my capabilities. Without her, I would be some IT grunt making the average grunt salary. [/quote]

I'm the PP. +1 to my own post. Seriously, one of the top 3 lessons for my kids is choosing carefully when you marry - there are many, many benefits, including financial. And no, i didn't marry someone rich, just someone prudent.[/quote]

My spouse supported my career like I supported his. He was open to changing his career entirely when a lucrative offer came my way as I gave up opportunities for his early out of grad school. A year after this he quadrupled his salary. We have an egalitarian marriage when it comes to kids and home. Literally, we have a schedule so everyone gets individual time with mom and dad, we both get the same opportunity to exercise and socialize.  We make collective decisions about what needs to be outsourced (this has changed through the years). We have a lunch date to discuss financial goals once a month, which for me includes spreadsheets, charts, and graphs. I'm of the mindset 'show me your budget and I'll tell you what your values are'... we value our family, kids, and recreation.  We are beginning to show our oldest the "household books" so she recieves a financial education (why can't they teach this stuff at school - it's not rocket science).  Basically we make sure that we are always on the same page about priorities, which requires many ongoing discussions.[/quote]
