For the married hobbyists: Does your wife have a full-time job? If she does, then read no further. I'm looking for answers from the guys with wives who are either at home full-time or only work part-time.
Does your wife cook? Does she keep the house clean?

The reason Claire is Men Stink at Statistics. Or put another way, men think with their dicks. What else is new in history?
If you are a guy making
more than USD $40K, you are in the top 1% of the global individual income earners. If you wife up a girl, then you have to ask yourself if she is in a similar category.
Let's say you don't buy into that metric (personally, I don't, it ignores PPP for starters). Okay, then let's look at
just personal income in the US. People throw around "six-figure income" pretty loosely, but if a guy brings that in and sets up a SAHM arrangement, then he's in the top 6.6% of all-genders income earners. Take out the female earners in that group, and he's easily in the top 5% of all men in the US by income. Cross-reference the income data by gender, and the number of women in that income category
is closer to 3.25%. So a guy that breaks that six-figure mark is in the top 3.35% of all US men.
Now break down that 3.35% into age categories, and the field thins dramatically for relatively young'ish (at most 30-45, depending upon your personal risk aversion; while not as severe as with women, conceiving with older males still carries larger risks) males in the US making that much, want to father children, and have a suitable temperament to start a family.
Look around the guys you know who have those incomes with a family at home, and ask yourself how many of them are paired up with a wife in the top 3-4% of all US women?
