Does your better half make the $ in the family?

I am sure this will get some real smart arse replies.. and that is fine, but my wife recently accepted a pretty nice position as a director of a big department at a local hospital.
Now, its not that I don't have a bad paying job in purchasing , but she blows my salary away... and of course, I am totally fine with that.

Being that she is 9 years younger , it's nice to know that she will be perhaps helping the 2bagger become a more gambling degenerate than he already is.

Anyone else have your better half as the main bread winner ?

My wife makes so much more money then me. And I don't mind at all. Don't get me wrong if she were to leave me I could survive on my own, but I just wouldn't have money in savings like I do now. I have a goal to retire by the age of 45 so we are on pace right now.

I can only wish my wife earned more than me, but we all know teachers aren't paid shit. That being said, it was easy for us to decide she'd stay home when we had kids. I'd love it if she made more than me, but staying home raising the kids is priceless.........

My wife makes way more money than I do! She takes care of all the finances, internet problems and does some of the custom broker for items at her job. The shit that gets me is she doesn't even work 40hrs. a week, sometimes I don't think she works 30.

my wife and I make basically the same. However she works a lot less hours then I. I coach 2 sports and will be coaching 3 next year and am also teaching Summer School. During football and basketball I was at the school from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. a lot of nights. Although I work more hours and I guess if you count the coaching contract money I make a little more but still not by much..

I gamble and my wife makes money from other people that gamble, so she makes more. But she works about 40 a week, and I only work 2-3 hours a day, and I don't have to leave the house if I don't feel like it.
