Well I've been retired nearly 6 years and I get a damned good occupationa l pension, but my wife still works and earns a load more than I do, in fact she keeps getting promoted all the time!

She wont hear of me working, she says she put up with me never being home for years.

Life's a bitch.!

Charlie-

My wife is a computer consultant. She has space in our office. I am her largest client. She also keeps my books and helps write certain kinds of technical reports. I am the chief breadwinner, but she contributes. It was her idea to move into my offices -- and a good one. We get to do lunch a lot and share quality time in the office. I figure she's going to hit me up for money anyway, so why not get business value out of her services. Having a computer comsultant in the next office can be a real lifesaver.

I earn about 25% more than my wife but she works harder than I do. I think generally women work harder than most men.

I'm single, so I'm the breadwinner. Unfortunately, I'm not bringing much bread home right now since I'm not working.

The wife earns twice as much as I do but I am cool with it. It all goes in the same bank account anyways! Her last year's end bonus was the down payment on the Stook.
