[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women are such bad liars.

A woman married to a 30 year old Sales engineer with a trust fund AND who brings in at least 200k per year, not including bonus, nonchalantly says, "oh, I don't care much for money"

LOL That is why you specifically selected for a guy who had the kind of degree and job prospects to give you the life you want in addition to ensuring he had generational wealth.

? How many men do you think come from money such that all these women out there are only picking those men?  Yes, *people* with money are catches. You think women from family money aren't great catches?[/quote]

There is a lot of money in the DC area. If you marry a boy who grew up in McLean/Bethesda/Great Falls/Vienna/Oakton you are sure to marry the type.[/quote]
ok, so?  Do you think only men in McLean/Bethesda/Great Falls/Vienna/Oakton  are dating?

And like I said, rich women are also catches.

It's disingenuous of people to say that finances or earning potential doesn't matter. Of course it matters.  When you have a mortgage, kids, etc... money matters.  Have you ever tried raising kids being poor?  My parents were poor immigrants. Life was tough. I never want to be poor again. That doesn't mean only money matters.  I was already making six figures when I started dating DH, but you can bet that I would not have married DH if he was making $60K.  We lived in hcol area.   The woman is the one who gets pregnant, has to take time off to have the baby.  The maternity leave in this country is crap.  I took  way more than six weeks for maternity leave, and that meant that I had to cut my pay.  We would've been stressed about finances if DH wasn't making enough  in the hcol area we were in.

FWIW, DH could make waaay more if he wanted to by taking on managerial roles, but he hates that, and I don't blame him. So, I don't push him to make more.

There's a difference between only looking at money, and looking at whether your partner can help you build a comfortable life.[/quote]
