If your wife makes enough money that she doesn't need you, and feels miserable (and blames you for it), she will leave you. Then all the investments you made in her both monetary and otherwise are a loss.
Even worse, if she is around higher wealth men you are introducing her to your potential competition.
I would advise to play on the womenly need for a sence of security rather than your own desire of optimized wealth, instill in her the idea that it would be a good idea to keep some improvement of her CS degree as a backup if she wants to progress further or if she needs to monkeybranch elsewhere. Women love the feeling of security more than ambition itself unlike men.

>> No.56542251

The fact she was able to get the degree in that field at least means you are dating a girl who sort of has a brain. Let her make less than you because it's a turn on for women to be with a guy that makes more than they do. It's also a benefit that she is happy with her job because the last thing you want is a worn down, depressive, moody bitch of a wife. If I were you would parlay her happiness and satisfaction and the energy that comes with it into her regularly exercising as well. Set up a home gym and let her get to it. You'll have a girl who at least was able to pull off a CS degree, who is bringing in some money, who isn't an annoying cunt you have to be a personal therapist to, and she'll be toning up that ass for you to plow.

Enjoy having kids that are disconnected from all sense of culture and morality since making a just few more shekels in the wage cage is more important. Just marry a man who meets your criteria; a lot of them are even better than most women at being women anyway. Faggot.

Bro you’re using the logical male brain. It’s true that what she’s doing doesn’t make financial sense, but she’s a woman and has different priorities in a career than what a man would. If she’s happy then let it be, your combined salary is decent and you shouldn’t need her to make more. In fact instead of complaining, you should out there trying to make more

$150k is the new $100k. It's not exactly a path to great wealth, just allows us to "get the job done" so to speak. Investments, monthly bills, kids college, etc. An extra $50k per year would allow us to aggressively pay down debt.

If you let her stay at home, she starts ruminating on why you’re not home and decides you must be fucking other women during work hours.

If she has to work, she starts ruminating on why she has to work and why you don’t make enough on your own, and decides it’s because you don’t want her home so you can fuck women at the house.
