[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No not at all. We met when we were 18/19 and married right after college at 24. Money was the furthest thing from my mind (looking back now, that tells me I probably shouldn't have been getting married or that it's mostly luck that it's all worked out - lol).

It ended up working out because he now has a high HHI and I SAHM, which I discovered I wanted after we had our first kid. And you know what? We have ALL the ingredients to have a happy marriage - attraction, mutual respect, kindness, friendship, money, good health, supportive local family, and it's STILL hard at times. Not the marriage part per se but parenting together and the impact that 3 little kids have on a relationship. It's really really hard.

I guess my point is, I think it's smart that you're thinking about all of this. There are a lot of things that affect a marriage and money/how you want to live is a big factor.[/quote]

+1 ... I am the PP who is married to the lawyer that everyone said I wouldn't have married if he wasn't a lawyer (not true but you are entitled to think what you want).  Marriage is hard!  No matter what your HHI.  Add kids to that and its even harder.  No amount of money will make it not hard![/quote]
