[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been with DH since college / 25 yrs. Married when he was a few years into a (paid) PhD - but paid very little. He out-earns me now (about 110k vs 220k) but I spent the decade he was earning his PhD and doing post-docs contributing to retirement and investing what I could - and I had inherited money when my grandparents died - so I have greater wealth. It would have been easier in someways to marry someone who took a different path, but brainy / academic is attractive to me and I was grateful my wealth allowed me to just focus on how good a friend / companion he was rather than marry someone likely to be able to support me. I think maybe the bigger challenge financially is how we view our financial position (I feel insecure about sufficient savings, he feels we are doing fine.)[/quote]
