[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it better to have a HHI of $400k but full control of your spouse, or $800k but have to pretend to be a partner?  [/quote]

My spouse makes about $365 inclusive of bonus and stock, and I make about $80-90K, so about $450K a year and no debt except for mortgage (college is coming but we'll likely pay cash for one child). I assure you: he does not have "full control" of me. We are equal partners. He even handles sick days and medical appointments about half the time - imagine that![/quote]

I can imagine it! I can also [b]imagine[/b] that other families have a different balance than yours.  I think extrapolating your situation to everyone else's is naive and myopic.[/quote]

How is extrapolating your imagination that a high earner would seek to control the lesser earner to be a general fact the wise decision in this case?  Your opinion should be based on fact, not ~imagination~.  Moreover, your assertion suggests that successful people are unable to handle a difference in opinion, which is literally the opposite of any person who becomes successful as no one is born into the position of CEO.  It also normalizes one spouse controlling the other just because they make more money, since according to you, this is generally how it goes.
