[quote=Anonymous]The number is going to be higher the less confident the woman is that she can support herself/a family on her own. When we got engaged DH made just under $90k and I made $100k. We were aggressively paying off student loans and living cheaply. Now he makes ~125k and I make ~360k and we live pretty well (cheap tastes, but a wonderful nest egg). But he was always marriage material because he comes from a long line of good, involved dads, he was looking to be in love and build a partnership with someone, and we get along incredibly well. He could make half what he makes now and still have those things and we'd be fine. If he made double what he makes now but you took one of those things off the table, he would not be marriage material. If I was worried that I could never personally make good money I would put a higher emphasis on his income, but it's a family pot and ours is sufficiently full.[/quote]
