Same here. She earns zilch at the moment (student), but when she's done, there's actually no limit to her potential earnings.

I earn more than hubbie - always have, but never felt it was an issue - it all goes into same pot! 6 months pregnant on number 3 at the moment and I'm stopping work at end of June and won't be going back till Jan '07 or so - work for myself so can pretty much decide how long we can afford to take off. Next year hubbie plans on going back to college for a complete change in career so I'll be main breadwinner then for a year or two, really greatful that my business can enable us to do this.

My missus earns about 60% more than me. Both have the same qualification, she's just more ambitious than me.

Same here atm. Then she's more focussed on her career than me. I may end up being a house husband for a few years!

Twas a very close call for a while - dental nurse earning commission on cosmetic dental stuff vs electronic engineer.
I've edged out ahead now.... slightly

Alli Babba

I earn less then my BF but I am better with money and he is in more debt so I am able to put more into the pot ....

Dahakka

Does it really matter?

Huggles

I was on 10k more than my ex bf and it was always an issue with him. Still don't understand why!

chump

This thread is SOOOO redundant. Does it REALLY matter LOIKE? Does it?

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

On the other hand of course it matters.
My missus earns more money than me, as I don't earn any! Long may it stay that way

Lust4Life

I've always earned more than the hubby.
That's why he's the stay at home dad right now, working nights while I work days. It all evens out. We're saving a bundle on child care this way.

Mr Magnolia

I earn about 3-4 times as much as the missus.

Might go down this road myself in a few years, at the moment I'm doing a crazy amount of traveling to work.. (and congrats BTW!)

LikeOhMyGawd!

How many of these superior earning women work around Baggot Street?

My missus earns about 10k more than me.... its all good baby.

Althought tommorow, i may be getting an opportunity to gain back some ground... hopefully about 4k worth.

YeAh!

So its all a competition is it...? Men Vs Women? Just thought your choice of words was interesting "gain back some ground"
