I don't have a college degree and my wife has 2. I make more money than her and she's still paying off the degrees.

I think it bothers her a whole lot more than she admits.

I come from a family that wasn't big on education unfortunately. So they worked hard and did very well for themselves.

Her family is all about education and they're broke.

Go figure!

there may be truth in this. it's odd, though, how the dynamic shifts when the ratio goes from 55/45 to 45/55.

i've been married 19 years and have made more money or been the main breadwinner in consulting income for 12 of those. i've seen both situations and it's easier if I make more.

If you work you make money.

If you aren't working you build debt.

The longer you build debt the longer you'll have to work to pay it off.

If you have debt you have to increase what you earn or increase how much you work.

THE END...

I don't think it's foolish pride to know when you're being a doormat and not putting up with it.

I'm all for marriage being a team sport. But when you're the LT for a QB that doesn't get rid of the ball and then you get blamed for it.

You'd have an issue w/ that teammate as well.

My wife has a higher base salary than I do but I bring home some pretty decent commission bonuses every quarter so by the end of the year, I actually bring more home. If she made more than me (and she might be someday very soon) I would be fine with it. She is a very talented women and she deserves to be compensated accordingly. I am proud of what she has accomplished at a very young age. I would be just fine staying home and playing golf all day.

So.........this is NOT a money question.

I mean...it is a football team fan forum...it seemed relevant at the time!

If my wife made more money than me I would just see it as her making up for all the years I made more than her. LMAO

I wish Sully had a job and if he made less or more than me, I wouldn't care a bit. I'd be happy for the extra income and so would he.

If my wife ever makes more than me.... I will forgive her for throwing it in my face. I wish that was a problem that I could have at least once in my life.

I guess Rain Man is right. The woman brings home the dough and she even speaks for the guy. :D

Wouldn't bother me.

Perhaps. Although, I am sure he's not responding in this thread as he's getting my supper ready for tonight, doing my laundry, and cleaning my house! :D I'm kidding. He's probably just trying to conquer level 5 on Red Dead Redemption.

She doesn't but she gives me all that she doesn't spend on her little things she wants so how could i care more money for the pile suits me fine ...

**** no. Bring it on baby. Make me a househusband!
