Her great grandather was one of the founders of the Bank of South Mississippi, now known as Bancorpsouth. So while I make more income, her net worth is quite a bit higher than mine.

My wife made more than me when we first got married. Then she decided to go back to grad school and become an elementary teacher. $60k of student loan debt and cut her salary in half.


What a dumbass - you should bring this up every time you get into an argument

The wife makes over twice what I make. Most of the time it's a great feeling. But it occasional sucks because I have to put up with her shite.

Initially mine made more money right out of school. I've surpassed her by a lot and now she works part time.

So, you consider that a drawback?

I make more than my wife but she takes home more than me. My job has better benefits and a pension so I have far more pay deducted.

Works out awesomely to be honest, we share both incomes.

I make 6 figures. My wife of 17 years makes more 6 figures than I make. It's a great feeling have two 6 figure incomes under one roof with the same goals moving forward in life.

I wish. My wife only makes 10% of what I make. I'd fricking be retired if that whore could pull her weight.

I think so. Deloitte, Accenture, PwC, Ernst & Young, and KPMG. I think Accenture is the one that isn't part of the Big Four accounting firms.

There was a time when my wife was making more than me.

I was in the process of buying a car and the dealership credit manager was coming up with extra fees at the last minute. I told him we'd pass if the total went over the agreed amount. He tried to insist, I told him no. He came back with, "Well, it says here your wife makes more than you. I'll ask her what she would like to do."

100% sure way to immediately lose a car sale.

Damn man, your wife makes more than you? I wouldn't have figured that.

To the OP, I make good money and I'm comfortable with myself. I hope that someday my wife makes more than me. The more money she makes, the more money we make.

The wife's current job of preschool teacher at a church school cost me money in the long run. 4 days a week for 5 hours at $10/hr only during school months doesn't cover the cost of a the shite (laminating machine etc) she buys for work.
So no she doesn't make more than me but yes it bothers me a little but she loves her "job"
