In most parts of the country two teachers could live comfortably. DC is just nuts with cost of living and a general sense of entitlement.

Exactly. Head about 40 miles outside of the radius and you will find plenty of women who have no problem with Burger King guy...
You think a woman in Leesburg is going to be happy with a guy that works at BK? Ummmmm, I grew up in the Shenandoah Valley and a good job was working for the state or county. BK and Walmart was for losers who were going nowhere fast. We're not as low rent as your petty fantasies.
Ok then. So maybe you can answer: who does a Burger King employee date? Do fast food workers just tend to date other fast food workers?

This is such a hard question! My husband made 80k when we first met and I was more than happy with that. I think I'm more of a person who runs after love than money$$

It is a deal breaker to me since I am a teacher. If you make less than I do, how do you think you can provide for a family? I don't want to be the breadwinner as a teacher.

Quite right. To put it in perspective:
Where do you stack up?
-If you make more than $10,000, you earn more than 24.2% of Americans, or 37 million people.
-If you make more than $15,000 (roughly the annual salary of a minimum-wage employee working 40 hours per week), you earn more than 32.2% of Americans.
-If you make more than $30,000, you earn more than 53.2% of Americans.
-If you make more than $50,000, you earn more than 73.4% of Americans.
-If you make more than $100,000, you earn more than 92.6% of Americans.
-You are officially in the top 1% of American wage earners if you earn more than $250,000.
-The 894 people that earn more than $20 million make more than 99.99989% of Americans, and are compensated a cumulative $37,009,979,568 per year.
*Based on the 153.6 million American wage-earners, as defined by the Social Security Administration (2013).
The most I've ever made is around 180K and I can tell you that even at that level it felt like everyone around me was earning more and that they had more disposable income.

Unemployed would be an issue unless it was beyond their control (layoffs) and they were motivated to find a new job.
I never cared about salary and was always attracted to teachers, social workers, artists, etc. I ended up marrying a lawyer but he's a fed and prefers to be home at a reasonable hour to making big money. Fine with me.

If your husband makes over 100k (which less than 10% of the male population earns), I don't think your situation is what the OP is asking about. He must be like, Head Fryer at Burger King?

Not a deal breaker.
My husband works in a restaurant, part time. He didn't go to college (due to family circumstances and where he grew up.) I'm the breadwinner. But he is kind, helpful, the opposite of lazy and an AWESOME SAHD to our kids.
