10 Things Your Husband's Friends Won't Tell You

Having a spouse who makes lots of money might seem like a good thing. But according to a new study of millionaires, wealthy households with a female breadwinner are filled with potential problems.

Why are women-led millionaire households especially stressed? The study, conducted by SEI and Phoenix Marketing, found that a third of the women who are the financial leads in millionaire households say their partner feels "stressed" by their financial roles. By contrast, only 14 percent of males in male-led millionaire households said they feel tension from their partner.

"When you're dealing with relationships and money, stress is a given, and when a woman is the primary wealth creator the survey shows it's even greater," said Michael Farrell, Managing Director for SEI Private Wealth Management.

Sources of financial tension might include spending decisions, savings decisions and investment decisions.
The top sources of tension in all wealthy households were kids and money, along with control and charitable giving.
Why

In their new book, Change Anything: The New Science of Personal Success, Kerry Patterson and co-authors discuss the three dimensions in your life that merit scrutiny as you seek to do better in your life, business or career.

The three dimensions are:

1. Personal
2. Social
3. Structural

The need for change

As you do what it takes to reach a higher level of achievement and satisfaction, you must cast off some beliefs, people, practices, and even places that have been bringing you down. You're also going to need to add in some extras that you might never thought you needed.

This is a bit like the Keith Richard myth/truth that in order to pass a drug test, the ye old Rolling Stone had his blood exchanged. He's both denied that and admitted it, so even if it's half-truth - he passed the test and we suspect something changed to accomplish it.

Perhaps the most painful finding in Change Anything's scientific look at successful change, is the notion that you are going

While millions across the country struggle to find a job, a small but growing number of women are turning to manufacturing and welding jobs for a paycheck.

Skilled welders are hard to come by in Florence, Ky. "I get a lot of questions like, 'Why would you want to weld?'" said Anna Wild, a welder at the Wyoming Machine Company in Stacy, Minnesota. "The way that they ask me it's like why would you want to do that."

For Anna and millions of women in manufacturing, the idea of putting on a welding mask or forging steel is a no brainer. These are high paying jobs requiring a skill that is in demand.

Still Fighting Sexism in the Plant
Right now, 27 percent of the 11.96 million manufacturing jobs in the U.S. are held by women. That's a slight decline from a few years ago when the recession (What's This? Find Out Here) hit.

Historically, the percentage of woman in manufacturing has been between 25 percent and 35 percent.
While attitudes on shop floors have improved dramatically over the last 30 years, it's still an
