[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're split basically 50/50 (Him: Fed 190k, me (woman) private sector: 200k) so this was basically never a question. Homeboy likes his vacations and fancy shoes, which is do-able on a dual-income and impossible on his alone. Luckily, he chose someone raised by a SAHM who was brought up to always work![/quote]

My husband never thought this way.

We made similar salaries when we met in our mid 20s.  Soon after, he went independent and his salary tripled.  I stayed with the Feds, but always have loved my job.  I had great flexibility and eventually full-time WAH when my firstborn turned 1.

He makes anywhere from $350-500k/depending on project.  I make $190k.

It’s been great. And my job allowed for the stable health benefits.

We created our wealth, real estate portfolio together.  22 years into marriage, very proud of what we ha e created and that my boys see a mom working in a STEM field and a dad that is involved in family life- helps cook, clean, etc.  actually, he’s better at household chores :).[/quote]
