re: Do Any of you have a Wife or Gf whose income is >= your income?

I wish my SO made what I made.

Life would be a little better

I'd love for my wife to make more or equal than me

I'm a teacher so naturally the wife makes more then me (by a little but she's only 1.5 years into the job. Hers will eventually skyrocket while mine will be fairly stagnant.) I give zero fricks because I'm not some insecure chump.

Also, we have a joint bank account so there is no "my money" and "her money." We save together and spend together.

I'm an enlisted gut in the military. So, just about any girl I date will make more money than I do

Just find one you outrank. Problem solved.

No. My wife makes a good deal less than I do.

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.

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 barely make more than her but that won't last much longer.

Female engineers tend to be shuffled to the head of the leadership line

My wife makes more than me, because she is a woman.

I out earned my wife by almost double for the first twenty years of our marriage, now her income doubles mine, my job came with a nice pension for our retirement, so all in all its worked out great but i admit when she passed me it hurt a bit.
