Rarely the main breadwinner in a marriage, the wife’s contribution to the household income to get a larger mortgage, fancier car, etc. Typically ranging from $30k to $45k, the wife salary also allows for smaller alimony or child support payments when the inevitable divorce happens.
When Tom met with the bank, he was able to explain why - through the wife salary - he qualified for a larger mortgage. Exact same argument when he met with the divorce attorney 2 years later, but the reverse argument in why he didn’t need to pay alimony.

Honestly I would really only need about 50,000 a year barring some kind of extra expense like kids or a house or something. Like... If 20% of my monthly income went to my loving expenses I would have everything I needed. 5000 a month? Yeah so between 50 and 60 thousand.
