[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every woman I know, in my immediate family and friends has married someone who makes substantially more than her. As a result, many years in, she lives a wonderful life where she is financially better off even if she is not working or a SAHM.

It can't really be a coincidence that...everyone I know did this. I would have had no idea how to, as I never screened dates for how much money they made or something.

Whatever happed to feminism and self-sufficiency?

I am a self sufficient feminist and my husband also does quite well. The fact is that two sources of income are generally better than one. Most of the couples I know are like this. [/quote]

Same here. I married the guy I met in my graduate program. We were both dirt poor at that time. We are  in our early 40s now and [b]while not really rich, I think we are doing more than fine with our combined ~500k income[/b]. I would be miserable as a SAHM plus I hate to be dependent, so I really do not feel like I am missing out by not marrying someone who could make the 500k himself. [/quote]

Please tell me you go around saying you're "not really rich" because your HHI is only $500K in real life. [/quote]

I don’t discuss my income with people in real life. When I said we are not rich, I meant in terms of wealth, which is how I would measure whether someone is rich. But I am fully aware that income wise we are doing extremely well, even in this area.[/quote]
