My wife has perhaps had a charmed run since graduation. She is on six figures after just four years in the legal industry and only works 9-5 Monday to Friday; with every weekend and public holiday off. That's working for a very large company (approx. 400,000 employees).
Well good on your wife then! We get that she earns more than the average pilot. The problem with you and most other people in this topic is that you are counting someone else's money! If flying is what makes you happy then do it!
