[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think this is true among me / my group of friends (mid 40s female). Among those who married men, one had a high-earning job but did eventually become stay at home and one married a much wealthier man but kept working. The rest of us match or out earn our partners, I would guess. My husband makes more than I do now, but I came into the marriage with a large stock portfolio and worked for 10 years while he earned his phD. I spent about 10 months total on unpaid maternity leave, but he’s had gaps between jobs too. I think it would take us both working about 20 more years at the current difference in our salaries before his financial contributions exceeded mine because of those first 10 years and the dividends from my investments.
