She can’t think of any better ways to keep herself busy than some trivially low paid job? Unless part time means single digit hours per week, that seems like a pretty bad time for $ trade.
No idea what you make, but she could probably save you more than 10k annually by spending that time learning about personal finance and optimizing your situation.
Eff you. The OP should work less to offset the spousal income, and THEY should be the one to spend the extra time learning to better manage the finances if that's what matters to them. You don't get to just tell your spouse that they have to be the financial advisor just because you're the fancy dawkter and your income means you get to call all the shots.
Signed, the nonworking spouse who's a decently good financial advisor but would sure as (expletive deleted by mod - let’s sub SHIP) take a low-paying job if it fit my passions better and still suited our family.
"Keep her busy." "Tax hit." Faaaahhhh. >
