I firmly believe that the key to happiness is to do what you're good at. For me that means working and not raising children. I will never be a stay at home dad.

Yeah, you are totally different from women who want to work. In their case it is selfishness and wanting things most people can easily live without.

In your case it is because work gives you happiness and totally nothing to do with material things.

Majority of women live without expensive holidays and expensive cars. Majority of men live without expensive car and men are more car-focused and tend to be the ones who control the car when car is in family. Most people, neither males nor females go to expensive restaurants.

You know what else second income does? No one can tell you that he earned money and you are wasting them. It means that you can leave when relationship goes bad. It means you can handle when husband goes sick or dies. It means that you are less vulnerable and safer.

Yeah, that's all great. But I don't want to be a part of a relationship where I'm disposed of as soon as I stop being useful.
