[quote=Anonymous]But OP is working.  Why does she need DH to provide for her financially.  Looks like what she wants is a two income lifestyle on a single income budget - ain't gonna happen.  If you were smart - and that goes for anyone on this board, even if you are both working - you should be living a lifestyle that only requires one income.  And I do not believe, even with the high cost of housing in this region, that this is impossible for people in the higher income brackets.  I can understand, say, if a couple where the take home income is less than $100K, but if both partners are each making $100K they should be able to do it.  The secret? Downsize - smaller house, cheaper cars, no private school, free entertainment.  It is all to be had here.   Do not tell me it is bullsh*t 'cause we live it.  There are houses in our neighborhood -split levels and ranches built in the 1950s - going for $300K or less.  We have high ceilings, a great open kitchen family room plan, walk out to the deck, etc.  I describe our house as sort of like the Brady house in its design.  It's pretty cool.  Oh, and we are one mile to metro.  DH works downtown.  I work in Rockville.  Love our neighborhood.  Quiet, great neighbors, schools nearby.  And, no, in today's post-feminist world, IT IS NOT the man's job to provide!
