[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much money are we talking here?

My DH makes 130-160K depending on the year and I could easily be a SAHM still afford 1st mortgage + rent and traveling several times per year. My coworker makes 100K and has a SAHW. He doesn't travel, but owns a house.

So are y'all really complaining about how much your husband makes or making sacrifices (i.e. Starbucks, haircuts, travel) to stay at home?[/quote]

My DH makes $60K.[/quote]

I make what the first poster's DH makes $145k and I am [i]not[/i] the primary breadwinner.  DH makes much more than me--but I need to work.  I never want the weight of the financial burden on one person.  Plus_ I WAH with lots of flexibility.  It's good to know I could support myself and my kids if anything happened to DH or our relationship.  Yes- we do have tons of every type of insurance out there.  I think of my job as a contingency.  Plus-- having a J-O-B is a great excuse for me to get out of some of the domestic chores I can't stand.  Anytime--he starts freaking about something I can say 'hey-- I have a job too:)".  Cleaning lady is now justifiable.[/quote]

What kind of work do you do that allows you to WAH making that much money, if you don't mind my asking?  [/quote]
