OT How would you feel if wife/gf made more $ than you?

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I used to outsource medical transcription. Probably paid 1/5 of that to MDs in the Phillipines. haha

That's why she didn't make any money. She did all the hard shit like brain surgery.

I mean depending on where you live, $45k can take you far if you are frugal. Some people don't make a lot but they are rich based on their lifestyle and how they save and invest.

Im frugal as fuck and ive never passed 40k a year. Bought my house right as the crash was ending and now it's worth 50% more than what i paid. Smart investing and sometimes a little luck is all you need.

She bought a house she will sell and downsize and make a few bucks. I just know how hard she worked all those years for little income.

Or not buying $300 sneakers.......

Timing fucked me a little bit. Bought a house in Henderson in 09 for 232 that sold for 430 a few years earlier. That was stretching our budget at the time.

I only made 50 grand give or take back then and the wife about 40. If we made what we make now I would have bought a better house in that neighborhood for 250 or 260 on a 15 year fixed and we'd be half way through paying it off already.

My wife buys way too many clothes. Thank all that is holy most of them are from Ross.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

Ive spent maybe $200 on shoes in the last 5 years.

The smart play is to shop at Uniqlo and buy neutral colored basics in multiple quantities when they go on sale. Basically wear similar stuff every day.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

But spend the extra money on some Yeezys

 

[santeesioux]

I'd be very happy, do you know any female doctors or meteorologists that's interested in an overweight college drop out?

 

[barfo]

Because I'm such a rigid social conservative, my wife does not work, outside of making me sandwiches.

But if she were to work, I'd want her to make as much money as possible. More than me would be awesome.

[Orion Bailey]

I would be ecstatic.

[Shaboid]

My gf makes more than me. Why anyone would have a problem with that is a complete mystery to me.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I think to your original point, @crandc, in a country of 300+M people from umpteen cultures and growing up with many differing mores, you're bound to find some people that think any number of ways. Hell, didn't 3% of black women in AL just vote for Roy Moore?

Anecdotal one-offs don't necessarily mean something is a thing, though it may be getting tougher to state that as the news is full of it. I think you're seeing here that the vast majority of this particularly unrepresentative small sample don't see a problem with it.

I bought 10 grey t shirts from wal mart when they were like $4 a pop. Been sporting that shit for 2 years. I have like 4 collard shirts for when it's time to be fancy.

Yeah, its the better way to go. I have about 10 black Uniqlo V-necks, 8 bucks a pop. good shit.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

I geg where dude is coming from. As a provider it could be humbling when wife makes more. But the key is to be humble and not an ego maniac like dude at airport.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Finance bros, where there rep is how much they make probably matters.

You can only wear 1 outfit at a time. I stopped buying clothes until the stuff i have is covered in holes. I dont get a closet full of outfits. Just do laundry 3-4 times a week and have space. I watched that minimalism shit on netflix and it hit home, why do i want to spend life hording shit when i could spend life doing shit.

It clears your mind, I ahve too much shit but honestly I just wear the same clothes all the time even though I "collect" T-shirts.

[Nate]

So this is your friend?

Finally the twitter bot posted something good.

 

[Nate]

No, actually.

Why didn’t you change up the story? Could’ve said store instead.

 

[Natebishop3]

My wife makes more than me and I keep telling her she's due for a raise!

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I was gonna just let the obvious misrepresentation of this story go....ah, whatever. The question is valid.

 

[Strenuus]

PLEASE MAKE MORE MONEY THAN ME. You've earned it! Do it!

It's called being a team. Not $elfish!

 

[Natebishop3]

I like money. More money is good. I don't care who gets it. More money = less stress.
