[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting convo. Oldest of the millennials here. Wife has been a SAHM to 3 kids for well over a decade. She worked for a F100 in management when she stepped away. If she’d stayed on track she’d make about 20-25% of what I make today. The money would be nice. But she was upfront with me from day 1 about wanting to SAHM.

Perhaps there is an assortment issue here. Overwhelming majority of our circle are in our boat with a SAHM. Of the few that do work, it is typically in a scaled back, flex role. The only exception is a mom of four in a big fed atty job and she makes about 10-15% of what her husband makes. So, not needed financially, but she likes to work. [/quote]

I think what you describe is more typical of middle or lower middle class.
Op is describing upper middle class millennials [/quote]

Right. Op is saying job and more kids are more so becoming status symbols/ aspirational. Not that everyone is doing this [/quote]

NP and I agree with this. I am MC and there are tons of sahms in my neighborhood. My high achieving, wealthy friends are all working. Interestingly, among both groups where I live, having 3 kids is common. [/quote]
