[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a social worker and am unlikely to ever break $75K. My husband is a lawyer and makes several times that. My lifestyle would be *very* different if it were just my kids and me (or just me). No SFH with a 20 minute commute, no international travel, no "top" school pyramid for the kids, no being OK with the fact my 10 year old lost her very nice winter jacket and we had to get her a new one (I was annoyed, yes, but it was not something that put us back significantly in terms of finances), no camps for the kids, etc.

Can I not consider myself a feminist, given that I "depend" on my husband for almost all of the luxuries our family enjoys, even though I work?[/quote]

I wonder about this too. Public school teacher, husband in finance who makes over TEN times what I make. My salary is a drop in the bucket. We pay several times what I make in federal income taxes alone. No way could I have my current lifestyle without his money. We absolutely depend on his income and bonuses and prioritize his career over mine. Given the salary discrepancy, we'd be fools not to.[/quote]
