Yes, it is becoming a trend. I have seen many otherwise conservative desi men asking thier wives to work. Many marry doctors just because of their earning potential here in the U.S. And many of these men make an above average decent income. They hardly spend on branded items either. Its mostly lets buy 3 houses, pay them all off and rent it out, while they live a miserly life. I won’t say all are like that but I have seen this to a huge extent.
