Dude I’d be a stay at home dad if my wife was making 70k a year
Yeah! I’m even encouraging my wife to put herself out there more and ask for promotions.
I’m also encouraging your wife to put herself out there more
I would do it for a lot less than that.
That is not a 12-million dollar earners’ kitchen
You don’t stay rich, by spending it all.
I mean, not all, but you kinda DO stay rich by spending and investing and improving quality of life.
I need to invest in a boat.
See, now you’re starting to sound like a lawless billionaire!
You ever wonder if there’s more to life than all this?
Gotta spend money to make money.
12 million Zimbabwe dollars
Oh man, that’s $33k/year :( When dealing with any genie or monkey paw, always specify which currency you want the money to be in!
I’ll admit $33k/year is on the low end, but in a country where the average income is $4800 that’s still pretty good.
That’s my dream
If I was a working parent with a stay-at-home spouse, I would felt guilty AF for not having more time for family. It would hurt to leave every single day and having to work overtime would make it all worse. I would feel that I’m abandoning my spouse to raise our human spawn alone. I would get to go to work and escape the problems of raising kids and taking care of the home. I get to hang with other adults, maintain friendships, etc.
I’ve taken less work than I could, making less money (still fortunate to make what I make), because I get to see my kids more. Kids are also a huge pain in the ass sometimes, and so I won’t leave my wife with more of a burden than I have myself. We’re a team, and we’re a family. When they get older and more independent, maybe I’ll put the hammer down and make more money, but right now I have the perfect balance and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Unfortunately, probably gonna have to go bash Nazis eventually.

As is tradition.
I’d do it if my wife made only another $20k
As it stands, though, money is tight and my field of study pays better
Hell yes.
damn right I would. Spending more time with my kids, cooking whatever I want and not having to do chores with the little amount of spare time I have after I’m done working would be great.
I would stay at home for an okay income and kids, although, as an IT guy, I could probably still work from home part time
