[quote=Anonymous]This is what I fear people think when they see me because I married a woman who is from a wealthy family.  We met our sophomore year of college but didn't start dating until about halfway through our Junior year.  We got engaged a few years after graduation and married a year and a half after that.  My friends from back home often commented on how lucky I was to "bag a rich one" and how nice it must have been to have those connections.  Insulting, IMO, because I never used any of her family connections to get a job or climb the ladder.  I'm much more successful than she because she chose a different path after college and went into a public service type position.  I worked hard to get into the same ivy league college as her, busted my butt in college, and started from the bottom and worked my way up after graduation, but most people attribute my success to the luck of marrying well.

If her family money went away tomorrow, she'd be left making around ~$115k/year while I'd be bringing home ~$400k/year.  [/quote]
