[quote=Anonymous]The cop or firefighter with the SAHW and 3-4 kids only works if you're willing to live in WV or SoPA or MD Panhandle and deal with the long commute. Which a lot of them do. They want the land, the ATVs, the boat, the SAHW, etc. I grew up in California and cops there can’t afford that lifestyle anymore. Lots of the LAFD live in ID, MT, or NV and fly in for shifts so they can replicate the lifestyle of their fathers and grandfathers. But most cops’ wives are nurses who can take flexible shift work or stop/start work as the kids get older. SAHW is only for poor people or the wives of surgeons/PE/HF types. Also - I never met a black cop whose wife doesn’t work and is SAHW. Very rare. The idea of a SAHW on a cop’s salary is a white cultural entitlement. And it’s disappearing fast.[/quote]
