[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marrying young is a great way to build wealth.[/quote]

Or drown in poverty [/quote]

Why? You can’t deny that life is easier on a dual income than single income.[/quote]

Yes but how many women who marry very young continue to work? Typically they don't have established careers and can't handle the cost of childcare at that point.[/quote]

My sister got married in her early twenties and worked in finance supporting her husband through med school. She is super successful two decades later as is her husband.

There’s a difference between college/grad school educated women who marry young and people without these degrees. [/quote]

I would not advise any young woman today to work and support her boyfriend/ husband and though school.
Too many instances of the woman being left after school is done and she invested her money and time for nothing.

And no there really isn't a difference for women. Only those who have had parents pay for college may avoid a financial hit [/quote]

She wasn’t paying for his med school. But she was earning money while he was in school and when they started a family and he was early in his internship and residency. Medicine is a long road and unless you want to be living on a residents salary, I’m not sure how you suggest these families get by without the woman working.

Would you say the same thing about warning against a man supporting his family while his wife went to med school and completed her residency?

Yes some people divorce after any number of years of marriage. Doctors included. It seems pessimistic to go into life assuming that someone is only looking for financial support throughout those years. [/quote]
