Because her family is rich?

No, because she seems incredibly disciplined and is a surgeon despite being rich. That's pretty interesting to me. Most rich people are educated but they don't have to go above and beyond if they don't want ot.

Yes, very uncommon and interesting. It's also very rare to see women surgeons. One of her sisters has a more "regular" job.

It’s her wealth, not his. Why should she pay for it?

they are a team? They can afford it? It is her family’s wealth, she didn’t earn it. They are a family and not a business arrangemen?

I didn’t read the article, but in the budget breakdown I didn’t see food.

Food isn’t a fixed monthly expense. Food costs are included within the diary entries, not the fixed costs.

Is this a serious question?? They’re married.

Do you think Mark Zuckerberg has Priscilla Chan still working to pay off her medical school debt??

I remember Nicole Shanahan who is the wife of Sergey Brin (billionaire and founder of google) talk about her student loans in a video. I’m sure Brin who is now her husband has paid it off for her.

I find it bizarre that she has her husband working to pay it off. Given she has a family office she can afford it. I’m assuming that he is going to be the father of her children so...???

Your attitude reeks of entitlement! This is family money. Shouldn’t be going to paying student loans of someone who may end up divorced from the family.

How did they get to $3000 in transportation expenses for the week?

Yikes... you sound like you grew up poor.

I actually did grow up poor and married into money. My in-laws have been very helpful with my loans, because I'm a member of the family. I'm in wills too, not ahead of my spouse, but if he dies stuff goes to me rather than directly to our child. I don't demand it, but it's the treatment that makes sense to me, and what I expect we'll do once the money is under our control. It's family money for family members, including by marriage.

Plane tickets for the sister’s kids.

Yes, it’s a serious question. It was my question, actually. Clearly, having a prenup, this family doesn’t think like you do. Why on earth would she pay his loans off after securing a prenup?

Wtf???
So why on earth would you be against her doing something that your own husband’s family did for you? I can’t stand women like you.

There is nothing wrong with feeling entitled in being taken care of if you marry into money. The bolded shows you’re pathetic and a hypocrite.

I’m the person that asked if this is a serious question. She’s smart to have a prenup. Never disagreed with that. And honestly, doesn’t sound like a family I would marry into. There are plenty of wealthy families that aren’t like this one and actually kind.

That’s a month. They are obvious old money. What is the point of this post? I think their expenses actually seem pretty low for their income, and yes, $1400 a month for dog daycare is ridiculous, but millennials.
