[quote=Anonymous]I made $61,000 a year and just bought a house in 2001 when my wife decided work was not worth it and she wanted to be a SAHM. She resented her Mom for working and wanted to be there for our kids.

The baby brings the bread, so she followed it up with two more kids in next six years. By 2007 was making $330,000 a year. I was able to focus on work and being sole bread winner to support family and not having to run out the door for every little kid issue and being able to go on business trips really helped my career.

By 2018 I had best year ever around $980,000.

The bigger question is how do men afford wives who work. I still would be making peanuts if I had to run out the door for every little thing.

And I do spend a lot of time with kids. It is just flexibility if I have important trip, work late, have to come in early I can.

Being a stay at home Mom is hardest job in the world. Most women sit in a cube and pretend they are a Mom. Being a mom is hard work. Having a maid, nanny, childcare, sending kids to summer camp while you sit in a cube and sip coffee is the easy way out. My wife controls the money to spend, I only make it and invest it.

Most folks are short sighted. The 35 year old male making 120K a year with a wife making 100K only sees the lost of 100K if she quit. He misses out on he easily could be making $360K a year in a few years if he focused on work.
