[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did and it’s been great. He might not have maximized his earning potential (he’s a public defender), but he isn’t a financial liability - he’s a saver who isn’t into consumption. He has no ego about how much he earns and doesn’t spend my/our money to appear richer or more financial successful than he actually is. At 160k, I make more than enough money to compensate for his lower salary and we are able to fully save for retirement, have a nice home in a wonderful neighborhood, adequately save for college, vacation regularly and not worry about money.[/quote]

You cannot marry someone who is a financial liability. A person who makes 60K, can live in that amount and save for the future in that amount, is a financially responsible person who will eventually build up wealth.  A person who is a show off, gets into flawed get rich quick schemes, has debts or bills (child support) or is financially irresponsible will drag you down.

However, OP should realize that this person is working full time to earn that amount of money. If she thinks that he is going to be taking on a lot of chores at home just because he is earning less then she is in for a lot of hurt.  He is not beholden to her just because she makes more money.
