[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is marriage the *only* way to wealth?

I have no desire to get married, but I noticed that most people who are wealthy are married. I make $150k and I am 35. It seems to me that most men with my salary who are on their way to good wealth are married to someone who makes as much as them or more. [/quote]

You ARE wealthy. You make a ton of money and you have no dependents. Win, win. [/quote]

He makes only $150k. He is not even middle class around here.[/quote]

Lol. I make maybe $85k as a single parent with two kids. I’m doing just fine. The OP has one person to take care of at almost double my salary. He can get a second job, live frugally, invest. [/quote]

Your brain chemicals might make you feel fine but no, you're not doing fine the way most people like OP want to be doing fine.

OP your salary isn't that special in the DC area and isn't a path to wealth unless you marry a spouse with a second, equal income. A lot of fed employees can make $100k+ but they can't afford to live in a decent neighborhood unless they partner up for a dual income.[/quote]
