Couples 35+ - Man Earns Significantly More But Woman Pays Half
**£££ PAID MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES!**
I'm searching for a few case studies for a national newspaper - see below. All are paid and come with copy approval. Case studies must be happy to be named and pictured (the man AND woman where I'm searching for couples.
**I'm on [email redacted] if you can help.**
* **Two couples aged 35+ who've been together for at least five years (the longer the better) where the man earns significantly more** BUT the woman still pays half of everything, from the bills, mortgage and food shopping to holidays, either because she wants to or he insists. Perhaps their incomes were similar when they first met but as his salary has rapidly increased, they haven't addressed the imbalance in income versus outgoings. This will mean that she's either in debt or unable to save. **£300 per couple.**
* **A woman aged 45+ who has had a considerable drop in earnings since hitting middle age.** Perhaps she was made redundant and couldn't get a job with an equivalent salary, or has been overlooked for jobs and promotions. As a consequence she will no longer be able to afford the lovely, middle class lifestyle she once had... Aldi has replaced M&S, she can't dine out or buy new clothes on a whim or take multiple (or any) holidays a year. Everything now has to be accounted for (even if she's married / with a partner, her drop in salary will have made a big dent in the household income). That sort of thing. £300 payment.
* **A couple aged 40+ who used to have a joint bank account but it caused too many arguments **- who was spending more, contributing less, what they were each spending money on etc. Since ditching the joint account (other than, perhaps, for the mortgage and bills) their relationship is more harmonious. £300 payment.
Thanks in advance!
