I only wish I could have such problems. If my wife earned a lot more than I do, that would be great. We could pay off our debts, replace our elderly cars, and put our children through college without saddling them with student loans.

I’m sorry, but I can’t see husbands who whine about this as anything more than pathetic drama queens. If your self-esteem is derived entirely from the size of your paycheck, then your entire approach to life is screwed up.
