[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh, yeah, probably the majority of all such people have not surpassed their parents.  Haven't you heard that we're the first generation not to do better than our parents?  That applies to all income brackets.

Neither me nor my three siblings have even matched our dad's income—and he only made like $250K/year, not millions.  However, one sister is married to a high-earner and the other is dating a high-earmer (~$400K).  Sucks that women can marry their way into wealth but men have to earn it.[/quote]

Men can also marry into it.  I know 5+ couples where the woman is the higher earner.

Then why does every single, high-earning woman in the relationship forum say that marriage would only make sense if their potential partner earns as much or more than they do?[/quote]

No clue.  Perhaps I just know smarter women, who are more confident in themselves and choose a partner based on love and them being a good person, with minimal focus on "how much can they earn"?

Now I'll admit, all but one of the men earn over $250K (the other works for a non-profit), so they are still have great careers.  But their wives earn much more.
