[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One curved argue that two 200 K incomes has some advantages over a single $400k. There is implicit stability and having two earners, so that if one gets laid off, sick or disabled there’s still some money coming in. It can also breed a more equitable relationship, but it’s not a requirement many breadwinner families are equitable [b]But in general most$400k Jobs are very demanding with long hours of stress and travel versus you could have two almost lifestyle jobs if they are split, like two Fed workers. [/b]I don’t really buy the claim that some people work 80 hours, but it is possible that the aggregate labor of our worked and both cases is very similar. In general though, I feel feel like a single breadwinner is the better arrangement. But we are dual income, so maybe it’s just grass greener.[/quote] Every time I say something like this, someone inevitably comes out to say that, actually, they work *less* the more they earn. Also, apparently, 7-figure WFH jobs are a thing. [b]I'm skeptical that these are anything but outliers, but who knows?[/b][/quote] Yep!! Outliers or just liars.[/quote]
