[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked my husband this and his answer was that it's not the salary, it's the brains, work ethic, and life goals he cared about. He wasn't interested in dating any woman who wasn't well-educated and intelligent, who didn't appreciate the value of hard work, and who didn't have goals to work towards. So salary was flexible - he would have been fine with a teacher earning $40K or a lawyer earning $400K. He earns a pretty high salary with good benefits so he didn't need a wife's income but didn't want to marry someone who wanted to sit around either. Since we've been together my salary has ranged from $125K to $425K, depending on what job I had and when - we made changes based on what we needed and wanted depending on our kids' ages. And a high salary isn't a guarantee of brains or work ethic either, so it's a really small part of the whole picture. [/quote]

This is what I see IRL too. The wives of high earners start out with careers and may keep them or SAH, but they share the same values.[/quote]
