Any man who is planning on marrying a woman making more $$$ than he is making is in for a very, VERY rude awakening...and it don't matter whether he is successful in his field or not...its "all in the bottom line"...
Wrong...
I'm not sure what you mean by a "rude awakening" - I made noticeably more money than my husband when we married, and for many years we were evenly matched, with a raise or a job change making one of us pull ahead of the other. He is now about $15,000 ahead of me.
But we are both working for our shared goals, so what difference does it make, who earns more?
I married a woman who makes more money than me, what of it? Approx 11 times as much as I make even.
