I’m 28. I make 60k as a BSW with 4 yrs social work experience. There’s no way I could ever make 150k in my mid 30’s unless I changed careers entirely.

I think how someone manages their money is important. In some parts of the county, you can be a SAHM if your spouse makes 100k or so.

The amount of money a man makes has nothing to do with what kind of father/husband he'll be.

Good point. OP, have you thought about why haven't you found the man of your dreams yet?

And what is the median income in the various jurisdictions in this region? You may be excluding 80 or 90% of men based solely on income, and God knows what percentage of just the white collar crowd. What’s your plan?

If a man said he wanted his wife to earn good money instead of being a SAHM, the DCUM women would decry him as shallow and materialistic. Just sayin'

About as reasonable as it is to expect your wife to make a good salary.

He should expect the same from you! Both people should have ambition and potential though it's not all about money.

Are you the poster whose husband makes 90k at 30 and posts over and over again about how it’s not enough?

Then he’s husband and father material.



I do believe that's the key to a happy marriage, family and life.
