[quote=Anonymous]Everyone has a different view on what high earning means. My sister is married to a high earner and she actually out earns him and likes their lifestyle and being financially independent.

A coworker of mine is married to someone very successful who has a very stressful career that keeps him away from home. She manages her own aggressive career and everything at home. She’s just an ambitious person and also grew up with divorced parents, so I think she would not feel comfortable relying on her husband financially.

My own father is very successful. My mom stayed home while we (her kids) were young and when back as soon as the youngest was in pre-k. My mom is also an ambitious hard working person and working gave her fulfillment outside of her kids, which I respect.

Another family member is married to someone very wealthy. She has a low key career (part time teacher) but maintains it because I think she doesn’t want to be home. She likes doing something a few hours a day. I know tons of women like her- teachers married to high earning men in finance. Some of them teach at private schools and their kids get massive tuition reduction even though the family’s income is in the multiple millions per year.

One of my friends doesn’t earn much but literally would rather work anyways than be home with her kids. She is a better mother because she has her job. [/quote]
