[quote=Anonymous]I wish my wife made more money than me -- we'd then have a lot more money. As it is, I make about 50 percent more than she does. She was home for about the last 2.5 years with our kids, but now that she's back to work, we try to split household responsibilities about evenly. That probably means she does about 60 percent to my 40, if most studies on this topic can be trusted, but we do try. I don't see our relative salaries as at all relevant in terms of who does what for our family; we both have demanding jobs, mine just pays better. It's a difference of tens of thousands of dollars, though, not hundreds. I do significantly more work-related work at home once our kids are in bed than she does, but I usually don't start that until we've dealt with household-related stuff first. (No, I don't get enough sleep.)[/quote]
