[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did he attend school?  Do you see him earning substantially more money?

Love doesn't pay bills.  If you are pretty and young, you can afford to be picky.  Now is the time to find a good provider.  [/quote]

This is OP. He went to Vanderbilt for undergrad and Georgetown for his M.A in IR.

You should have a talk with him about your concerns.  What is his future vision?  Are you ok with him supporting his parents forever?

You know if you can do better.  It's very smart to think of your future and how you will live.  [/quote]

OP here.

I love him. He is a gem of a man who is kind and extremely generous. Can I do better financial in the DMV? Probably. Better personality wise? IDK[/quote]

I also married a gem of a man who is kind and extremely generous. He also had the ambition, intelligence and work ethic to go into a field that was lucrative so he can be generous while providing a nice lifestyle to his wife and two children. He married me, who is also kind but less generous due to money insecurity so we make sure to sock away money for our retirement while helping to support several family members who have fallen on hard times. I can't imagine that I would have had children with my DH if we were in your situation. It would be so incredibly stressful that DH and I would be fighting constantly. I hated when my parents fought and worried about money so I won't do that to my kids. Better to remain childless with your kind, generous man than have it all come crashing down with innocent children later on. [/quote]
