[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the dawn of time women have used marriage to improve their prospects. Even now, it is relatively rare to find a couple where the wife is the higher earner. 95% of women significantly improve their wealth and lifestyle through marriage to a higher status/wealthier man. Among all of my friends who married, none of them lived nicer lives than they did after marriage. Their husbands are all well to do. [/quote] I disagree with your premise; I'm the woman, and a higher earner, and the same is the case for many of my friends (lots of us have PhDs). However, we mostly do live nicer lived now...because we got married in our early 20s and 30s while making $20-30k a year as grad students, and even going from a room in a shared house to a 1-2 bedroom apartment with a spouse was an upgrade. Part of this ia just time of life.[/quote]
