[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] you can't double your income by two people working to say you are better off. Lets say Couple A the husband makes 180K and wife is a stay at home mom Couple B the husband makes 100K and wife makes 100K both work full time. Who is better off? [/quote] Is this a serious question? The one who isn't relying on one person to bring home all the bacon. If Couple A's husband dies or runs off with his secretary, where does that leave that family? Best case, they get through a few years on life insurance or child support/alimony, and mom has no recent work history and has not been paying into SS/MC or, absent contribution from her husband, retirement. At least Couple B isn't hosed if something goes wrong.[/quote] The question I have, is does the wife staying at home contribute to a 100k earner making 180k? It’s not a fair comparison.[/quote]
