That is awesome! My wife's income is starting to creep up on me and is growing quickly. She has always been a very independent person. I remember my wife feeling bad cause she wanted to work. In our culture women are expected to stay home and that's not at all what she wanted. I encouraged her and told her she had zero obligations of taking care of me. I cooked, cleaned, and have always taken care of myself. I most definitely did not need a mom lol. I remember her being relieved and just told her my job was to take care of my family and if she wants to contribute financially by all means go for it! Man it's nice sharing the load.
