I don't know her, but I've known car salesmen who make a respectable living. It's true that two wage earners make more money combined. But a solid family is more important than wealth. In many cases (not all), a family can save money by Mom momming her kids, acting as the heart of the home, while Dad works as the breadwinner, dadding and husbanding when he comes home. If he makes 60k a year and she makes 600k, they won't have to give up eating if she quits and raises the kids and keeps the home. They just might have to give up expensive vacations and some extra cars and boats. Depends on what a person's priority is in this short life. I don't think worshiping the dollar is a good investment.
