I think we need to define what the OP means by ruchniyus. Do people have to wear their ruchniyus on their sleeve for others to behold or is it an internal feeling?
Zahavasdad: To qualify, I think “people” is too general. The working wives certainly have to be concerned with these issues unless they happen to have parents that sustain them and fill in for whatever they themselves don’t earn to make ends meet.
To be unconcerned with gashmius seems wrongheaded. Who then is supposed to be concerned with basic needs? For some reason, the current system of wives supporting makes a joke out of the terms of the kesubah. If the husband doesn’t work, how he can he meet his obligations? Obviously, the husband needs to have some gashmius concerns.
