If he didn't have a Monet, that's okay, but he would have to have either a Picasso or a Matisse instead.

210k puts your household in top 10% of household income in the US. Would I refuse to marry someone who is “wonderful” solely because our combined income would “only” put us in top 10% of families based on incomes? NO. Money does not equal happiness.

I would if he had other things to offer, like a great cook, good at cleaning, home repairs, could pick up kids from school, etc. Marriage is teamwork. Imagine if he earned 100k instead of 60k, but never picks up kids, cooks, or fixes anything. I might rather the more handy 60k guy.

You’ll be miserable


And you’ll always be the bread winner, you’ll hold resentment for that exact reason and always fee superior to that person.


No

What would you think if the question "were would you marry a woman with no money/" and men gave this answer? So much for enlightened feminism and equal treatment.

Listen, I appreciate the honesty of this thread, despite the sexist hypocrisy.

This thread is not for you. OP said he won’t likely make more. All you “diamonds” in the rough posters are only happy you got the diamonds. If you had to live off coal, you would be bitter hating on your DH

Not if his bills are child support/alimony

How old is he and does he (and you) have a plan?

I’d be fine with it as long as one of us was bringing in the $$.

Like ... a public school teacher? Sure. Like a guy who was wanted to work in gaming and stayed home playing video games all the time claiming he was "researching"? Absolutely not.

I did, and we’re happy. He did very well and so did I.

Yes, I did. He ended up doing very well.

Truth.

Do you want kids?

He makes $60k, I make $150k. He also has a lot of bills. Other than this he really great and treats me wonderfully.

Its not the $60k. Its tbe lots of bills issue.

Like he spends too much money?

What do you mean bills? Are they indications of bad financial choices or just a poor start in life?

As for your original question - depends on your expectations for the future. A $210K combined income is great in most of the country and can easily raise a family. In D.C. you'll quickly find out you can't even buy a house within an hour's commute let alone buy, pay for childcare, and have some semblance of a nice life.

Up to you.
