Dunno what to tell you. Women like having careers too. Most people can't afford an army of nannies and they do just fine. 10% is weirdly low. You most live in a very wealthy neighborhood. I'd say just about every woman I know has a job. I also think nannies are an excellent idea. You get a foreign nanny and then your kid ends up being fluent in another language.

I'll break down a $250K income for you.

1. You make $250K in year one, take home $180K.
2. You buy an SUV for general usage. Covers bad weather, normal weather, getting work, etc. Costs $30K. You pay cash.
3. You buy your wife the same thing if for some reason she doesn't want a career or income.
4. Both these cars last 5-7 years, maybe longer. My moms car is 10 years old Honda is fine. I drive it often.
5. Year two you buy a $250K exotic which you keep for a minimum of 5 years.
6. 15 years later, your kid(s) get a DL and they need a $25K car. This is no big deal because you've made nearly $3M over the last 15 years.

Seems fine to me.
