How is that the answer? Do couples in which both parties work not bring in more money than a single person, typically?


I had this conversation with a married friend the other day. I mentioned about money being kinda tight right now. He was shocked, and didn't understand why saying "but you're single and have a really good job" I told him imagine paying all of your mortgage/rent, utilities, and all of your bills by yourself without your wife's income. He understood once I broke it down like that to him.
