Not sure if I understand your tech -> rationality correctly but my experience so far... no.
Almost "sexist", my wife see tech as a "man" thing much as being a handy man etc. So whenever a tech situation arises, its like teaching your grandmother how to do a swipe a smartphone screen. sadly.
Worse, she's in a high tech (sw based) Co and working harder than ever as "remote." I'm trying to encourage her to help me seek out an adventure in being financially self reliant but she won't have it. Wants me to do it all by myself. Unfortunately for me, hard to be self motivated when the soul person in your life doesn't want to be part of the same future. (venting here. sorry)
- giantg2 6y agoAnyone who is single should read this as advice and a warning to you. Almost the exact same here. My wife has trouble with technology. Luckily her job is not tech related. On an hourly basis, she makes more than me but only works part time. She watches the kid during my workday, then I watch the kid on the evenings and weekends while she works or does hobbies. She does not contribute to our bills but spends her money on hobbies like horse related stuff. She spends more on her hobbies every month than I do on the mortgage. I had to give up many of my hobbies to support us, like the Camaro that I used to do track days with. I do all the cooking, baking, shopping, handyman work, mechanic work, yardwork, etc. She does most of the laundry, vacuuming, and dishes. She also refuses to move to a lower cost area. I hate my job, so lower expenses could help me retire earlier or find a lower paying job. We both want land, especially for her horse. We could afford land if we moved.
