When she brings home the bigger paycheck the rules are different.

Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce. In WHEN SHE MAKES MORE I present a bold strategy that not only addresses how income imbalances affect relationships and family dynamics, but also how a woman can best manage (and take advantage of) this unique circumstance—emotionally, socially, and financially.

As a member of this growing community, I wrote this book for myself, as well as for the millions of fellow top-earning women in the U.S. and around the globe. It’s the ultimate guidebook for any modern woman who wants to successfully navigate her money, career, family and relationship in the event that she earns more. And all without guilt, shame or fear.

Survey Methodology

Farnoosh Torabi teamed up with Dr. Brad Klontz, a financial psychologist and certified financial planner and founder of YourMentalWealth.com to conduct an academic survey in 2013, which consisted of 1,033 heterosexual women in committed relationships. Of that sample, there was a pretty equal split between women who make more than their partners and women who make less. Eighty percent of the sample held a college degree or higher.

Finances

When she makes more, she is significantly more likely to be the primary decision maker on money matters and take charge of things like paying bills, budgeting, saving, and planning for retirement. And many more women who make more wish their partner or spouse would carry more of the financial burden in the relationship.

 

The numbers reflect the percentage of women we surveyed from each camp – one in which she makes less and the other in which she makes more – who take control of these various responsibilities; so, for instance, 62% of the women who make more take responsibility for paying bills whereas 43% of the women who earn less take charge of that financial chore.
