[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I love how everyone responding right now is being holier than thou, yet there is a weekly post on here about how a DW is so aggrieved bc her DH is not the provider she had hoped for bc he only makes 100k and that doesn't allow her to be a SAHM or hire help.[/b]

Let's be real OP -- you need to think hard about it before you officially commit. How old are you and fiancé? Is he making 90k bc he is a public school teacher or social worker or some non profit do gooder and has basically maxed out? Or is he making 90k bc he is just starting out as a management consultant or federal law clerk and there's room for upward growth? Do you want to be a SAHM at any point? His feelings on that - esp if his income doesn't grow? Is he from this area? Would he ever be open to leaving the area if you feel that 140k isn't buying the lifestyle you want? Is he employable in other areas or is he in one of those DC specific policy jobs? I'd think hard about these things before the I do.[/quote]

It's true.  For some reason earning potential seems to be taboo to talk about when looking for a mate.  The truth is that it is important.  For some it's more important than for others, but money has a way of impacting all other facets of life.[/quote]
