    we're both teachers so it comes down to our summer jobs.  I typically make a little more than he does in the summer.

    I voted DH....however that's not always true....

    DH by far makes more money per hour.....but I often times work more hours then DH, thus making more money...perhaps its more equal...but on a week when DH works 40 hours...(let's just say I am one greatful wifey.)

    We have this going on too.  I have been supporting us through DH's residency but as soon as he's done, the bread will drastically shift.  Wink

    I voted about equal.  But, our company gives raises based on potential and my potential is higher than my DHs.  So, even though he has been with the company a year longer I will surpass his salary with my upcoming raise.

    I voted me...since DH hasn't worked since April.  Once he's back to work he will be the primary, though....let's hope it's soon!

    Since my husband hasn't worked in 3 years the answer is very much me Me ME.  However, even before he fell ill in 2006, I was making about $20K/year more than him.  By the time he finds a job my income will probably be close to double his.  I had always thought I didn't care how much my DH made and I was an independent woman and blah, blah, blah.  But now I understand that the reality of marrying a "Blue Collar Joe" is that there is NO WAY I could ever be a SAHM for even just a year or two.  Don't get me wrong, I love my DH and all but as a woman in my early twenties it literally never crossed my mind that I would even *want* to stay home for any lenght of time, ever.  My how time can change us!

    DH is a lawyer working at a prestigious urban law firm and I'm a nurse.  Guess who makes more money and alway will?  I am about to receive my master's and work as a nurse practitioner, but I don't think I'll have his earning power. Fortunately, it's not an issue for either of us.
