Ahhh, the truth that shall not be spoken about so many working moms -- their material desires. Wonder what percentage of wives of high-income men, in a nice material lifestyle from just him, are stay at home moms...
You hit the nail on the head. Just from my experience, most (OK all that I know) wives of high income men have careers. Rich people can’t seem to have too much stuff. I’ve noticed that the new “trophy wife” has a trophy career, physicians seem to be at the top of that list.
FWIW, this has nothing to do with liberals vs conservatives. Among university academics (pretty much all liberals) stay at home mothers are common. They’ve seen the research.
