What those from two-income households don’t realize about the SAHM/ tradwife, is that even if the wife rejects the path of the girl-boss and doesn’t contribute financially to the household, there are many ways a wife can lighten her husband’s financial burden simply by being frugal, thrifty, and creative.

I’m currently scheming up a work-trade that could potentially result in us acquiring plenty of grass-fed beef to get us through this next winter. It’s not a done deal, but I’ve already done similar things by trading sewing or music lessons for all sorts of valuable goods my husband now doesn’t have to buy.
