I’m gonna be a doctor so hopefully money won’t be an issue (but seeing this economy idk what’s gonna happen) so if she’s not a stay at home wife/mom it’s bc she wants to be working not bc she has to

Ideally I’d love nothing more than to find a woman who supports me with nothing (right now) and then eventually get to the point where she can be stay at home and I treat her like my world. But in this economy😬☹️

I was raised by a girlboss and my kids should have that experience too. Plus, yeah, the money would for sure be nice

If we don’t have kids idc either way but most of the time when people have kids it barely makes sense to have dual incomes especially when the kids are below like 12. You’re going to end up spending a significant amount of one income on daycare if not all of it. It’s just going to mean someone else is raising your kid and both parents will be exhausted by the end of the day. Dual income literally doesn’t even make sense until the kids can stay home alone for long periods of time

Honestly, relationship goals is we’re both retired early. Maybe we have some projects, like own a small business or two or something we pay somebody else to run, but like until we’re both retired, I feel like we should be trying to work? Every cent helps us get closer to our retirement number.

I put stay at home wife mostly bc my mom was, but who knows what life has in store. Could be the other way around (but I’d be working from home).

I want independence for my partner but at the same time, if I were to have children with them, it would be nice if I was financially well enough to maintain all of us while she stays at home

No amount of money you could bring to the table is more valuable than what you could give to our home and our kids

Also people put too much emphasis on “careers” especially women. I’m not sure where this live to work mentality came from in some people. Increasing someone else’s profit margins isn’t a virtuous thing to do in my opinion it’s what you have to do but you shouldn’t make your life about it
