Be honest. Would you marry a guy making $160K at 55?

[Anonymous]

Assume he’s attractive and normal.

[Anonymous]

What kind of an idiotic question is that? If he is normal he definitely shouldn’t merry you. Geez!

[Anonymous]

Yes. DH is making about that much, at 59.

I make slightly more, and our HHI is $300K. We have a good life.

There is something wrong with you, op.

[Anonymous]

Yes

[Anonymous]

He only makes more than most in this area, so no, obviously not. How much do you make OP?

[Anonymous]

No one needs to marry at 55

[Anonymous]

I don’t understand the question. That’s a fine income at any age.
Replace 160K with 30K and I’d understand why you might ask.

[Anonymous]

Not sure I’d marry someone 55 but my husband makes $110k and we have a total HHI of $300k and all is fine. Live in a nice house in the burbs, take vacations, pay for college. What is wrong with you OP?

[Anonymous]

Yes, I'm independently wealthy.

[Anonymous]

How much do you make?

[Anonymous]

Ok, I know people on DCUM have a distorted view of income in this area, but surely you realize that’s above average even for here, yes?

I guess I feel like a middle aged white guy with a college degree, a good brain and solid work ethic in a STEM field should be making over $200K these days but maybe I’m out of touch.

If they have sexual desires like most normal people then Yes they do need to get married if they don’t want to live in sin

A guy who checks all the boxes but is only in the top 10% of earners?!? Kick him to the curb OP and make sure he knows that you’re a 1% gal.

Christ on a cracker you’re horrible
