Re: young women yearn for 1950s role as stay-at-home mums
Chandbeti, “most men would choose a relaxed lifestyle over a hectic job”. Maybe. Maybe not. I guess we need another survery for that too. 
I am just giving my personal views. I know not everyone is ambitious. Plus many suffer from blame-displacement where they feel everyone except themselves is responsible for holding them back, but thats a separate discussion.
Single-income family vs dual-income family… I guess it depends, and it may very well be true that if a husband is stuck at a 40-50k job, the wife may feel she has no choice in this matter.. My point is when both parents are working, there are higher associated costs that should be adjusted against top-level marginal increase in income.
ps. And yeah, here in the Bay Area, a million dollar really gets you just a nice single family home. Nothing outrageous, actually. Honda, all the way! :k:
