For many years, especially before our son was born, I was the breadwinner in the family.  It didn't really seem to bother my husband too much as it made it easier for him to play tennis during the day.  But a new study says that husbands' stress increases if wives earn 40% more of the  household income than they do. According to newswise.com, h usbands are least stressed when their wives earn up to 40% of household income but they become increasingly uncomfortable as their spouse's wages rise beyond that point and are most stressed when they are entirely economically dependent on their partner, new research from the University of Bath shows.

But now a new study says that focusing so much on that can actually hurt the company, according to newswise.com. "Doing business with a tunnel-vision focus on the bottom line can lead to dysfunction and unethical conduct in the workplace, but a research study co-authored by Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations Professor Rebecca Greenbaum reveals why some CEO’s and organizations are willing to take the chance: sometimes it pays off," the web site reports.  Researchers conducted a global survey of more than 400 workers and their clients across a wide range of industries to understand what happens when top management adopts a “bottom-line mentality,” in which the narrow focus on a single goal—typically profits—outweighs all other organizational values. The findings reveal that some employees do break the rules in a bottom-line environment, but
