+1, I swear these threads pop up every few months and it's annoying. FWIW, I'm a highly educated attorney and in my circle, there is literally only 1 SAHM married to a high earner. The rest are high earners themselves (i.e. biglaw partners), Feds, tenured law professors, or in house. In fact, at my 15 year law school reunion a few years ago, almost every single woman was still working, the vast majority in a full time capacity, and many of them outearned their husbands (including a few with SAHDs). I went to a "top" law school, so maybe that's why, but this phenomenon just hasn't played out in my friend circle. AFM, I work full time, make 300K+, and while my DH makes slightly more, I never even contemplated quitting to be a SAHM. Different strokes. [/quote]

Absolutely this -- describes our social circle as well and same re top law schools. We earn less than your HHI by choice. But we and all our friends are dual income families even with little kids.[/quote]
