My thoughts exactly.

Kinda midway between the two. Enough to pay the bills and keep our ten year old cars running. Not enough for vacations or luxuries beyond cable & internet.[/quote]

What about you?  I always knew I would make more than my husband, and I was fine with it.  It I wasn't happy with our income, I would work harder to fix it.[/quote]

We're both teachers and both have maxed out what we can earn for additional degrees, etc. Post-divorce, I used to earn additional money tutoring, running after school clubs, etc. but I've had a slew of health issues the past three years and had to stop. That said, I'm far happier with my "poor guy" than I was with the "rich boy" I married in my twenties. My fiancee and I have the same priorities when it comes to finances. He's debt free. I have student loans. But neither of us wants to finance a middle class lifestyle through credit cards. Luckily, sex is free![/quote]
