[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it that you don't make enough or that you don't seem to care about making more for the family?

I love my current boyfriend but recently figured out not only is he a low earner (not a deal breaker, he loves what he does and is a hard worker) but that he had zero knowledge of retirement and how much he would need.

So basically if he were my life partner I would be supporting both of us in our retirement, and I only make $100k and have kids from my marriage. In fact, I wouldn't even be able to marry him because I'd even lose money from social security benefits which are nulled if I remarry.

It's not the earnings which are unattractive to me, but the fact that he entered into a relationship with someone with more than him with zero awareness of how he is a potential liability and that I would stay at his minimal level of lifestyle forever. [/quote]

This is a tough one.  I broke up with the love of my life because he did not want more for himself - and he was capable of so much more! He did marry someone who made a lot of money, and they retired early out west.  I am happy for him, because he got back from the universe all the positive he sent out. [/quote]
