During the first two years of our marriage, she made a good bit more than me. Kind of sucked.
It wasn't that I was insecure about it, but I had about 20k in student loan debt when we got married. She had a bunch of scholarships and graduated with her bachelors and masters with zero debt.
So it felt kind of shitty to not only be the secondary source of income, but also the primary source of debt.
But now, I out-earn her by about 25k.

My wife is a teacher so her income is less than half of mine.
However, her benefits are where she makes up for it, namely in heath insurance. She's has the state's BC/BS plan which costs a little over $300 per month for family coverage. And it's not one of those 80/20 split with high deductibles plans.
Where I work, the BC/BS family plan is a little over $500 per month and it is a 80/20 split.
How good is her plan? Well, the total bills from my time in the hospital including doctors, surgeons, and everything was just over $1,000,000.00. That's what they submitted to Bc/BS. Out of that we payed out of pocket like $800 total.

Yeah.
Money spends just the same.
I've got better benefits though.

Mine does, and likely will, as long as she wants to. If it were up to her she would switch jobs in a heartbeat, but likes the money too much to actually pull the trigger.

I make very good money. My wife makes better money. I'm thrilled about it, but it comes with drawbacks. Namely, she works a lot.

Does it count if we own the business together, but she runs it?
I work my job as a PM in oil and gas and get decent pay and great benefits, and she runs the business we own.
This year our business will make 2-3 times my salary, and it feels pretty good. If it keeps growing I will be joining her running the business in a year or two.

My wife makes more than me on an hourly basis but then again, 85% of the US work force makes more than me so I'm use to it
Posted on 3/29/17 at 3:16 pm to Duggars23
Yes. Fine.

I wish my SO made what I made.
Life would be a little better

No. But I wish I did.

I'd love for my wife to make more or equal than me
Posted on 3/29/17 at 3:20 pm to Duggars23
I'm an enlisted gut in the military. So, just about any girl I date will make more money than I do. 
Posted on 3/29/17 at 3:22 pm to Duggars23
No. My wife makes a good deal less than I do.
Posted on 3/29/17 at 3:25 pm to Duggars23
when we first got together she made more money than me. Now there is an additional digit on my salary compared to hers.
It neither felt good nor bad. It was what it was.

She did for a few years after we got married. Now I make a good bit more. She makes great money but the ceiling is much lower than in my job.
Posted on 3/29/17 at 3:28 pm to Duggars23
Yep. My wife is a consultant with one of the "big 5" and makes about 15k more than me with the ability to get annual bonuses worth up to 20% of her salary. I took a new job and briefly took the lead for a few months before she got her new job. I'm very content with my situation.

I can only hope for this day to come.
Posted on 3/29/17 at 3:53 pm to Duggars23
My wife makes more than me, because she is a woman.
Posted on 3/29/17 at 3:56 pm to Duggars23
My wife will out earn my by about $25k when she becomes an attending. Things are ok...
