Although this seems counter-intuitive as their are many studies available now indicating that more homes then ever are dual-income, and yet despite that they seem only just able to make ends-meet. Compare this to the 1950s where it was the norm for the man to work and the woman to tend the home.

There are also other studies that show the reason for this is overtaxation. When you look at your tax burden and how much the secondary working spouse (the one that makes less money) makes you see that the bulk of the money that he makes goes to cover what they have to pay in taxes.
