[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like every other poster here makes 200-300k and is married to someone else making a salary in this range. How do you guys find women like this? I make in this range as well but every girl I’ve dated earns below 50k. I’m not sure I want to enter a marriage with such a disparity in earnings, but I cannot for the life of me find a single woman who is at my level career wise. Am I dating too young? I mostly stick with women 25-30. I’m

My wife is 43. She does not have a college degree. At age 25 she was making 55k as an "account manager ". Doesn't hurt that she's a smoke show.  She's in IT sales and now on average pulls 400k/yr.

Her qualities:
-very hard worker 
-great communicator
-very social, people like her
-smart
-hot

Just don't marry someone who wants to have babies and quit working. Also don't marry a beta woman. They are boring and lack ambition.

At this point I would not object to her to quit working. She was with a company who went IPO (so major options) and has spent almost 20 years contributing to a 401k. However it is not in her personality to sit at home watching Oprah and organizing PTA bake sales. [/quote]

And you still don’t care that she does not have a degree?[/quote]

Why would I care? She makes more money than the vast majority of people with a degree and is smarter than most. I win the jackpot in the lottery of wives. Smart, high earner and a dime. [/quote]
I would be embarrassed if it came up in social situations.  People will look down on her. Plus, how will you tell your kids thaf a college degree is a must?[/quote]

That is the height of elitism. PP, your wife pulls 400k a year and has worked her way up to get there. Good for her. The “social circles” Can guffaw all they want. [/quote]
She has had a quarter of a century to get a degree part time. She could get one now.[/quote]

Why on earth would she bother? Waste of time[/quote]
Pride[/quote]

So she can sit around at a cocktail party swirling her wine feeling prideful that she wasted time and money getting a bachelors.degree? We have way better things to do with our time and money. I went to Duke and I make less than her. She had enough to be productive of. A successful career, 3 kids, a loving marriage, and a secure future for our children and ourselves most people with college degrees can only dream of. [/quote]

Or a personal goal.[/quote]

This misogyny. The woman is happily married, makes great money (that she pulled on her own), raised her kids, has a happy marriage, and runs a busy household. But she should be embarrassed? She’s still got goals to meet because some blue blood finds that her trajectory lacks prestige. So he suggests that she additionally enroll in PT school to earn her degree. So her DH Can talk about it at cocktail parties.  Sit down. She’s busy being a boss.[/quote]
