In my own case, I'm working and making as much as I do because I'm married and have kids and my wife is a stay-at-home-mom. This is still a very socially acceptable arrangement.
If I weren't married with kids, I'd be a semi-retired snowboard instructor. I am not driven by my career at all. I'm good at it, and I make good money, but I wouldn't otherwise be doing it.
- zaroth 9y agoRight! I guess economically you are "more productive" than your unmarried counterpart but it's important to note this isn't the result of natural ability manifesting in greater likelihood of being selected by a partner (utter nonsense) but rather, now that you have a partner you have a responsibility to someone else to maximize your income.
