[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t think I did, until I started dating an actor. He was college educated and worked hard on his craft. But he was early 30’s and had just had his best year ever — $18,000. This was in the 90’s, but my first job out of collage several years before I made $25,000.

I knew my salary was always going to go up. His was probably never going to be that high again. Being with someone who didn’t have a salary close to mine was going to severely impact my life. Once we had kids, he’d either have to quit acting (which wasn’t an option for him) or we’d take a huge lifestyle hit when my salary had to pay for our bills and child care.

So it was a factor in what I saw as long term potential. And last I heard, he married a very very successful lawyer and didn’t have kids.

I think the question you are asking is loaded. Having a baseline salary idea (plus future potential) is very different than a gold digger only dating someone who make over $200k or $500k. One is an understanding that money can impact your life and should be considered. The other is wanting someone to elevate your life or take care of you. [/quote]

There's a rom com in here.

You leave him but you were always each other's "one that got away." You don't cross paths again but he becomes a big star and you are devastated when he's pictured on the cover us Us Weekly with his fiancée. You are both back in your hometown for some big annual event for charity and have a meet cute. Nothing can happen b/c of his fiancée, but it turns out she is sleeping with the sleazy director of her lingerie shoot. They break up, but he misses catching you at the airport before you go on a year long sabbatical to Antarctica. He's an action movie star and charters a plane to Chile and then pilots a Zodiac through frigid waters to intercept your research vessel. You love him but can't leave your work. He quits acting to stay with you in Antarctica and the final scene is you two making out with cute penguins in the background. Fin. [/quote]
