[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Younger women, 40 and under, especially in the Mid-Atlantic region, have no idea of the demographics working in their favor, and working against the average man in this country.

My parents and grandparents could make a living off of one income right after high school. They could afford a house, two cars, grocery shopping, going out to eat once a week, a vacation or two, even a house at "the lake."

Those days are gone.

Try not to be so hard on the guy. Who cares if you out-earn him? Why do you want to cut your hours at work?

I would only care if I had to work if my DH controlled the money.

I have a friend who has to work to contribute to the household income, and her DH still controls how the money is spent. And he spends it on his toys, like a new truck, electronics, etc.[/quote]

This has always been difficult for most people of color in this country. My dad and my uncles all enlisted after HS and came out to find that the union jobs and government-protected mortgages weren’t meant for them. All married women who could make more than them as nurses, teachers, and even domestics. One uncle got lucky because he saved a man’s life and was offered a job at Ford. Only then could he access that one income good life. [/quote]
