[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP and he is not reluctant. He is really pressuring me to get married. In answer to questions above he makes $75K right now, as do I. He could make about $10-20K more by working extra shifts, as I do.[/quote]

You are not on the same page regarding finances. Marriage will not solve this OP. It will make it much harder- many divorces happen due to different opinions on finances. And making more money definitely won’t solve everything- the fundamental mismatch will still be there.

FWIW my DH and I had a much lower HHI than you ($80k combined) when we got married, and we did buy an engagement ring which was a stretch for us at the time although it cost less than $1k (10 years ago). So I don’t think your desire for a ring is foolish (although going into debt for it IS in my opinion). But there are so many red flags, I urge you to reconsider this relationship at least not until you both are in therapy and work out some of these fundamental differences.

In what job are you guaranteed to go from $75k to $500k in a few years? I am very curious about this. [/quote]
