Tai tai (太太) is a Chinese colloquial term for a wealthy married woman who does not work. (Source: Wikipedia.)
I don't know if it is surprising to you but I have seen so many such cases over the years.
There are childless couples who decide to stay childless because they want to concentrate on their careers and have double income.
DINK. Double income no kids.
What does the other person do?
Anything but being gainfully employed.
His other half decided to stop working many years ago and when I remarked that it wasn't a wise decision, instead of agreeing, he said, "I make enough money to support both of us."
OK, end of conversation.
He had a mortgage on a condo and he also bought a luxury car.
It is not passive.
Oops. Sorry, it should be their lifestyle.
They should build wealth and invest in income producing assets.
This is the wise thing to do.
I hope my friend does not regret in future.
