[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was laid off and making $0 when I met my wife.  She was making about $400k per year at that time.  I was 29 and she was 28.  I was starting grad school.  She was crazy hot - like super athletic and tan.  This last week was our 19th anniversary and we’ve accomplished a lot together.  We’re both from modest backgrounds and put ourselves through school.  We have a wonderful kid, own 8 homes and have built a solid financial base.

Sometimes marrying the guy you love who doesn’t make a lot works out.[/quote]

Starting grad school is rarely the sign of someone who can't make money. I feel like a lot is missing from this post. What did you make after grad school?[/quote]

Well, I was going to grad school at a 2nd tier state school.  I made 90ish right after but then started working my way up.  About 300k + equity, now.  She’s always out earned me (even now) by 2-3x.[/quote]

So stop making it out to be that your wife didn't care about your money or your ability to make money. I assume this person is talking about someone who makes five figures their entire life. Your comment is somewhat pointless. It's not the same scenario.[/quote]
