I make more.
-
I am the sole breadwinner in my family. I work full-time and my husband is the stay at home parent. I'm so jealous of him!
-
My husband makes more than me now that he took on a new job. But 6 months ago I was making slightly more.
-
Hubby does since I'm a SAHM. But, when SAHM's start getting paid I'm sure my salary will finally be comparable to his!
-
When SAHM's start getting paid, will they also get overtime?
-
I've read that SAHM's are worth 120-130k a year (I think overtime's included).
-
If SAHM's are worth 120 - 130k, then I am worth more than what my husband makes.
-
My husband makes 3x more than I do. In a few years (5-7) I have the potential of taking over my boss's agency when he retires, then I will make more. For now when my husband gets laid off we really feel it. In his line of work lay off's happen frequently, especially right before the Holidays, he's getting ready to mark back up after a 3 month lay off.
-
I was making more when we first got together, but for the last few years he has, and likely will continue to, unless after baby comes I find a teaching job in a community where teachers are highly paid (which is likely if we DO move to Alberta next summer)
-
I make enough to keep a roof over our heads and car/life insurance paid (retirement/disability). He makes enough to pay all the bills and put well over half of his income in savings. I'm FINALLY stable enough health-wise to work, so soon I may be making half as much as he does.
-
I used to make more, but then he got a much better job, and now he makes bit more. We both do ok though, I'm an engineer and he's a chartered accountant! Down the line he'll probably make substantially more than me because he's the career driven one
-
We are actually pretty equal in our incomes, but if I were to go back to working full time, I would make more.
-
I make more on the hour but only work 12-24 hrs. a week. He works a full 40 , so he brings home more. I interviewed for a job that I would enjoy much more , and if I get it (fingers crossed!) I would be taking a significant pay cut, but get 40 hours a week. Then we would be bringing home exactly the same.
-
We have a shared salary, since we work as a team for non-profits. We do about the same amount of work - he does more teaching and translating and I do more writing and paperwork.
-
Since he's in grad school, I make more, but, if he was working, he'd make more. English degrees don't usually mean high paying job.
-
He makes more right now, but not by a ton. That will probably flip in the near future to me making more. In the long run, it is unclear who will be the true "breadwinner", since the salary prospects in both of our fields are about equivalent.
-
I make more than him, but not by much. If he got paid as regularily as I do I'd say we'd be pretty even.
-
I make 2x what he does, that is what he gets for being a teacher:)
-
DH has always made 2-3x as much as me. I am a SAHM for now, but we have talked about a plan where I go back to work in about a year and be the breadwinner while he works on building his own business. I do look forward to that!
-
DH makes about $20k per year more than I do.
-
I make about 4x what my DH does. It drives him insane. He's up for a huge promotion soon which is great, because I'm starting to feel guilty!
-
I tech make more. But DH is Military, so if you include all his benefits (and mine included because I am his dependant) med/dental, fly pay, housing etc... well then he makes more.
-
DH makes about 3x what I do but works COMPLETELY on commission- IMO, the added stress of comission only positions entitiles him to more $$:)
-
I'm a teacher, so DH definitely makes more. In 1-2 more years, he will likely make 3x as much as I will.
-
DH makes more, we work in the same industry but he's a comission based sales person, and I'm on a salary. Greater risk = greater reward and luckily he's an amazing salesman. I'd say it's like 65/35.
-
Hubby always made more and now he is the sole bread winner.
-
DH makes more than 3x my salary - that's what happens when a social worker marries an engineer! Works out well for us though as I am no longer working and will be a SAHM once our little bub arrives.
-
I make more and my job has all the benefits, while his offers no benefit options. It's tough because we'd really like me to be able to stay home with our future children
