It's not like we're making a fortune and rolling around in our money bins. I play more. I have more resources. She plays enough and has enough to maintain her gear for the levels I get for her or with her - and what she can't afford I cover the difference, just like real life.

It's a partnership. It's not a disadvantage to anyone else around us except people who don't have friends or wives. That's not a problem I can solve for anyone else. Find your own friends & wives.
It's great that you provide for your family like I provide for mine but I'm pointing out a flaw in the systems of the game where it is balanced for a single player at a time which your methods of play bypass. The general argument of the people who do play like this is either why do you care? or SE is not discouraging it. If your wife didn't work for an example but your job suddenly paid double what it did now because your married, is that fair to the single guy who works with you doing the exact same thing. This is how the game is right now. You're saying I just need to buy a new high end computer, a new game and subscription to have what you have. Your words sound nice and simple but I don't find it convincing enough for me to do.
