My wife used that excuse too. Now no need for daycare and still doesn't want to work. At least she has sex with me a few times a week which keeps me from pressing the issue.

Tech career, $190k salary (wife makes more)

Bank owns most of my rental near the beach and I own most of my 2 comma shack in the South Bay

Did some stats. Based off 59 replies that included reasonable assumptions of salary plus 5k pr, I did some quick calculations:

Average age: ~38

Average salary: ~$102,000/yr

Average 5k PR: ~16:42

I also did a scatterplot for fun, as expected very weak correlation just off this half-assed attempt at stats. Still fun to do though.
