Default Re: Two-Income Trap

My wife and I don't have kids yet, but this is something we've been tossing around. Her income is about 1/2 of mine, but it's still significant enough that we'd have to make major changes for her to stop working. Maybe more importantly, I'd really like to not be working full time when we have children so that I can have more time to spend with them.

To that end I'm working very hard at finding income opportunities outside my job. I really want to build up a stream of income that I don't have to show up to work to receive. Realistically I'll probably still need a job, but my employer is very flexible about people working 75% or 50%.
