I missed the boat on this, as usual for me. I met my wife when we were in our 30s and 15 years later we are each earning less than back then.


But are you and your wife happy now? How do you end up earning less than 15 years ago?

I don't want to marry her. I'm satisfied with just fucking her and letting her leave.

I guess this is a point for marrying young. We married right out of college and had no money. Scraped together the deposit on our first apartment.

Neither of us was worried why the other one wanted to get married. Love could only be the reason!

Still happy 12 years later.

My soon to be ex husband wanted me to be a high earner (we both make six figures) but wasn't willing to help around the house or with the kids. Now we are separated and I'm doing just fine...better, because I don't have to wait on him after a long workday any more.

They did not seem interested in remaining friends or dating (they dated most of the other girls in our friend grouping at the time.) I assumed it was because I was more introverted and studious, not as attractive, etc...

Then word got around that I was going to a prestigious university for grad school. Both guys called me up about 2 months in the program and wanted to get together and go out. I did, and it seemed that they wanted to date my grad school, not me, and I realized that they had not wanted to go out with me all those years because ... I was too poor and not prestigious enough. Very pissed, because I assumed I had a crappy personality and/or unattractive, not that I was just less rich than my friends. Never went out with them again.


Don't kid yourself, you're still pretty fugly.

This is all very true. Gold diggers might get what they think they want but in the end are almost certainly very unhappy. I know someone who married a woman solely for her family money and prestige. He is miserable.
