Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
Pet kee baat ho rahi hai kay wife kee? I don’t understand how one “maintains” a wife?
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
Its husband’s responsibility to fulfill all the wife’s financial needs…
But you wouldn’t understand it, also you don’t have to worry about this stuff ,do you??
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
marry a working woman or a rich widow and then you won’t have to worry about this stuff.
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
Depends on where you’re residing as rent could be a sizeable portion of your income. I do remember having such discussions with friends a few years back, and basically we came up with a figure of $3500/month after taxes.
so that’s $2700- $2800 for basics and then for the wife you’ll need another $700 month
A lot of it depends upon your lifestyle though. I know people who manage it in under $2000/month somehow, and then there are others for whom tens of thousands of dollars per month is not enough.

Nah, working women are feminazis, neglectful mothers etc.
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?

Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
hmm…well depends on you, whatever you’re earning your wife must do guzara in that money/amount.
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
Even so I think woman are capable of maintaining themselves.
Nope, Allah ka shukar hai. But it sounds like you’re more confused about women than me.
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
Well i have to think see…i don’t have the luxury not to think about it… i will have to deal with one…
whatever i am earning?? isn’t a* decent/reasonable* (subjective i know) standard is necessary??
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
TAAAney from wife that ‘What have you done for me whole life?’ are priceless. For everything else there is Master Card.
This thread of Nomi is like adding insult to injury for a husband whose wife just called 5 min ago from spa where she is getting pedicure and whatever those pretty ladies can sell her. I can tell their tag line “New research have shown that…” 
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
It depends on your wife as well, if she’s willing to do *guzara *with whatever amount you’re earning with you then there should be no problem. I’m sure she’d adjust.
Re: How much does it cost to financially maintain a middleclass wife?
