[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I married my husband when he was making 80k and I 50k. We were deeply in love, with no family money on either side. We got married in 2014. It has now been 8 years since we married. We do not own a home. We do not have children. We almost got a divorce 2 years ago due to stress of not having enough to build a family life in NOVA.

I am stressed out and regretful about my choice most days. Yes, he was hot and nice, but that did not give us an income to build a suitable family life. I watched with envy as each of my friends married men making 200k, 400k and immediately were able to buy homes, have babies, build families and a family life. 
I never cared about money. I thought it was silly and materialistic. Because after all, its true love and the insides that matter.

As a bitter, broke, childless  mid thirties woman, I regret not caring about my prospective husband's salary.

If I were to do it again I would not date anyone who made less than 300k.[/quote]

Wow you married the same year as one of my friends and basically have the same exact decision. She’s very bitter but also has a baby now and is so angry about her husband’s lack of money. [/quote]

Ok, so you probably have HHI around 200k.  Or more.  If you cant afford a kid, it's because you insist on staying in an expensive area or spending money on other things.  Go move to Frederick or Howard County, then you can have kids.  Maybe what needs to change is you.[/quote]
