Contributing to the household income. It takes 2 incomes to live anywhere but BFE in the US.

BFE?

I'm guessing this is some slur for rural areas. You know the ones that typically have large families?

Yeah but a big part of that is because both parents work.

You can buy double the house with 2 incomes instead of 1.

Sadly the main consequence of moving to two income families seems to be making everything cost twice as much.

Elizabeth Warren warned of this in the two income trap in 2003.
