Want to make more money? Keep your wife at home...

Now that is an attention grabber! Studies show that men who have wives that stay at home make 20% to 50% MORE than those men who have wives that work. That is amazing. I know when we were throwing around numbers and deciding on whether or not to send my wife back to work after the baby was born, after child care, taxes, gas etc, she was making around $2/hour. Nice.

Subsequently we decided it would be best for her to stay home and enjoy raising the baby, and after seeing how much fun she was having, I retired. Not a bad way to :)

Here is a link for the book that references the study mentioned above.

Beside Every Successful Man: A Woman's Guide to Having It All. by Megan Bashum.

So the next question is.... What if you are a gay couple? Who gets to stay home?

First Class

Well, I just completed my first class at law school, and I am still breathing (a good sign). It was a Legal Writing class and it looks like my hand may fall off. My pre-class assignment was the first 2 chapters from (one of) the book(s) and reading 4 additional cases. That resulted in 9+ pages of notes, a migraine and a carpal cramp. All in all, a good afternoon at the library. Now all I have to do is re-read the 2 chapters (want to make sure I understand all the gibberish), complete the exercises from the book and brief the 4 cases. Did I mention this is just orientation week? Yeah for law school.
