[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is my area/circle of acquaintances/neighborhood the only one where being a sahm is very rare? I can think of 2 true sahms. Posting here it feels like it might be flipped in other areas?[/quote] Probably, not...only 25% of all households have a SAHP...and it is actually more prevalent in lower income households where you would lose money with both spouses working. In other words, the cost of child care is more than the after-tax earnings of one of the spouse. Of course, maybe it is also flipped in super HNW areas too.[/quote] It’s U-shaped. It’s most prevalent in poor families and families making over $250k, as I assume is the case with most SAHM’s on this board. Of course DH made $150k when I started 16 years ago. Now he’s at $500k.
