[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So any men marry into money or is it always women marrying up?[/quote]

My husband married into money (me). My family is extremely unassuming though (my father made all the money, so its not like we are some blue blood multi generational snobby family….my Dad and Mom both grew up very poor and my Dad got extremely wealthy).

For the most part it never comes up. My husband is a proud guy though, and at times I think that he feels a little weird getting my annual disbursement (gifting) from my parent
s, which my parents pay to both he and I (so it's $56K). It feels like a handout to him, which we don't need, but it's really just a way of allocating assets for my parent's. We have an annual meeting going through the trusts, our kids trusts etc, and I think that he feels a bit awkward, though grateful, too. It's hard to explain. I think that it is different for a man than it is a woman, though I can't say exactly why. It hits his pride maybe in a different way.I don't know that I'm explaining it well. Like the PP mentioned said, it totally is a great bonus and surprise (I knew my Dad had done well, but because my parents had lived so "normally" I had no idea about my trust until I was 25. My husband didn't know about it until we were engaged.) It allowed me to give up a lucrative career and stay home with my kids, which I wanted to do. It makes live easy, which like PP is simply luck and I am very grateful for. So is my husband, who works hard and knows that we are really lucky.  [/quote]
