[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you can’t win either way.

I am a lawyer but a low paid one. Have worked mainly in public service. Five figure income. I once had a guy break up with me after a few months of dating and one reason he gave was that he was in the nonprofit world too (but a director - I bet he made somewhere in the 125 to 300 range) and didn’t make a ton of money. He was divorced and had a couple kids about to enter college. I was surprised by that throwaway comment and while I wished I had pursued it I did not, but from what he said I think he was saying he didn’t like that I didn’t make more money?? I lived in a not very impressive apartment at the time, did not have a car, was not living large, etc.

What he didn’t know is that I actually have an inherited trust found worth around eight millions dollars.

But if he was dumping me because of my five figure income, and knowing that I had a large trust fund would have made him not dump me, then I don’t think he was a good guy anyway.[/quote]

He definitely wasn't. My SIL has a trust fund and it's attracted all sorts of unsavory characters. Frankly I'm not even sure her husband would have been nearly as interested if not for the cushy life she was enabling... [/quote]
