[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Combined HHI is around $700k. My husband isn’t going to live a $450K lifestyle just for the privilege of “not caring” about my career. Adequate HHI means outsourcing a lot of the points of tension in a dual-income relationship. [/quote]

Sure..but your husband isn't high income..enough. Most couples fall in the middle and need dual incoms to live a "$700 K lifestyle". In that case, a woman's career matters. If your DH made 700K by himself this wouldn't matter.[/quote]

Unless he or the family wanted to live a $950K lifestyle. It’s all about how people want to live. Even in DC there are people who make it work on $450k if that’s how they want to live. [/quote]

Sure there’s lifestyle creep, but at a certain point if a family is comfortable priorities switch to other things rather than money. Private school is going to be a stretch still at $450k for two kids unless you want to cut back on other umc luxuries like travel.[/quote]

Which still concludes that at the top 2% by income for the country, men care about women's careers.

Sorry you didn't marry rich enough.[/quote]

Only a poor dumb idiot would think that. We're both trust funders, we both make a lot of money and there's never enough money. More money is ALWAYS better. If you're happy with your plywood cabinets and can't tell the difference between a $40 print and great original art, of course crumbs are fine enough for you. This is always the case with people who grew up poor or low income; their view of a what it means to have a good life is very limited. [/quote]

You have deeper psychological problems than worrying about who successful men want to marry when you lose sight of other priorities that a good life consist of such as health, mental well being, and happiness with your family. So your motto is keep working till you drop for that one more dollar? That’s a sad life. [/quote]

I have a great life and a cushy job as a non supervisory gs15-like for a financial regulator,  with liberal telework. Do you also understand the absurdity of your thought process? My career is not impacting my health or my family's happiness.  I'm not working on an oil rig. I can also get cancer working or staying at home. [/quote]
