[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a 50 yo woman making -$200K

I could go as low as $160K if he was a scientist or artist.

I’d expect him to have $10K/month + a paid off mortgage in retirement [/quote]

Do you realize most federal attorneys make about 160k? An artist is not going to make 160K. My sister in law is a Harvard PhD scientist and does not make 100k. Get a reality check on salaries.[/quote]

Most federal scientists make GS-14 which is ~$160.[/quote] I make 140. The only way I’d likely make more than that is working for a company I don’t like so it’s unlikely I will make more than that. Plus I have a generous pension and fully paid for health care so that’s pretty nice. My wife makes less( we both have graduate degrees btw) we live in dc, own our house. Besides the mortgage no debt. Somehow we manage to do perfectly well. I mean we don’t get to drive luxury cars but that’s not something either of us feel strongly about. I understand wanting to be with someone with a stable job and who is financially responsible but the gross materialism on here is sad. If you are a middle aged woman with a good career why are you so concerned about dating a rich guy? At what point do you demand to see the guy’s W-2?[/quote]

Are you going to stick your kids with a lifetime of school debt?

My parents paid for my degrees, graduating debt free let me take really interesting jobs where I traveled the world while my peers had to scrimp and take on side hustles to make their monthly payments. My husband and I have income sufficient to send our children to good schools debt free. I do not think “wanting to not financially cripple future children” is “gross materialism”[/quote]
