Nope. She spends her share, though. In all honesty, she gave up a pretty comfortable job to stay home and raise our four kids (now 3-12yo). Now that my youngest has started school (kindergarten), I think she's starting to consider getting back into the workforce. It won't be an easy transition for many reasons. I'm trying to talk her into teaching or even special education assistant (she actually got to her last semester in Special Ed and changed her degree, ironically we'd have a son with Down syndrome). Something she'd really enjoy doing rather that what she thinks she needs to do. Quite frankly an extra $20-30K would do just fine.

Take advantage of her furthering your education and leave it at that. Once you're bringing in your (theoretically at least) increased post-graduate earnings, then jump right into the hobbies.
