[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did and it’s been great. He might not have maximized his earning potential (he’s a public defender), but he isn’t a financial liability - he’s a saver who isn’t into consumption. He has no ego about how much he earns and doesn’t spend my/our money to appear richer or more financial successful than he actually is. At 160k, I make more than enough money to compensate for his lower salary and we are able to fully save for retirement, have a nice home in a wonderful neighborhood, adequately save for college, vacation regularly and not worry about money.[/quote]

I should also add that DH loves his job and would be substantially less happy at any other job. I would rather him be happy at home than he be miserable with a higher income. DH is also deeply competent with our kids and easily does the majority of the childcare. That’s not because of his lower income though. He does more because that’s what I negotiated before agreeing to have kids with him (he wanted kids, I didn’t). He’s held up his end of the bargin and now that our kids actually exist he’s the lead with the kids, and I’m the lead with managing the household.[/quote]
