We worked while she got a degree. Once she landed a great job I focused on making my own businesses while keeping my wage job.
The first month my business paid as much as my wage job I quit my job immediately and focused on my business.
Ups and downs for a while, but we were very comfy with her job. Then my job hit the jackpot during COVID and I made more in 2 years than she will in 15 at her STEM career.
Now I make less per year than when I had my job, but I saved up and I'm still paying half of all the bills while I look for the next thing.
I married a more risk averse woman.
