Norbeck I make 1/3rd more money than my
husband does. I have as much financial pull in
the relationship as he does. Id say this is also
true of most of my women friends. Someone should
wake up, smell the coffee and kiss our asses long
enough to sell us something! We have money to
spend and nobody wants it!
