[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am about to marry a man I love very much but I am concerned about the fact that he doesn't not earn a lot of money. I do not think this is a big deal but I want to go in with eyes wide open about what this means for us as a family. Can anyone tell me its going to be okay?[/quote] How much money do you make? Is your concern that he will mooch off you and not contribute financially to the family, or is your concern that you want to mooch off him and not contribute financially to the family? When my husband and I got married, he made slightly more than I did, but his job was pretty unstable. We didn't make any elaborate purchases until he found a better job, and I went into the marriage fully cognizant that even if I wanted to, it was likely that I would not be able to quit my job or take unpaid time off. This delayed us having a baby until we had enough saved that me taking a couple months unpaid wasn't a huge deal financially.[/quote]
