On today’s episode, we explore the financial dynamics of duel-income households, get into all the variables at play including many that get overlooked, and give our positives and negatives on each side. We think you’ll be shocked at how much (or little) a $40,000/yr salary spouse actually takes home after accounting for the variables we’ll discuss today.
Topics Discussed:
- Acronyms used in the financial world to describe different kinds of earners.
- The many scenarios where it’s important to determine if the non ER doc should work.
- What is left of a $40,000/yr income after ER doc taxes.
- The changes that happen when kids enter the picture.
- The benefits of a spouse working and reasons where it makes sense.
- Other less-considered costs involved with two employed spouses.
- Social Security benefits to keep in mind.
