what a turtle.

If I can date a rich girl, I certainly will. However, I haven't found a rich and pretty one yet. I'm sticking with my pretty one.

Since I graduated, my husband affectionately refers to me as his "sugar mama".

He works for a community funded agency and makes a tad over half of what I do.

I work with a guy that says all the time how he wishes his wife had a job that offered insurance so he could go part-time.

Like anything else in life, it all depends on the individual.

( I never would have been able to marry/date a fella with loads of money....I LOVE the blue-collar guys!)

It sounds like you, in turn, did some man a huge favor by not getting married.

I earn twice as much as my dh and it doesnt bother either of us. I wish he earned the same or more only because I could spend it LOL

Why do you need a flame proof suit

Are you feeling guilty

I am not the marrying kind. I love my freedom. I love my life. I love doing what I want, when I want, without seeking someones approval. Anyones approval.Works for me.

Personally, I'm marryin' a woman .... not her paycheck.

cheers,

PS: I've had one relationship not work out because she was 'conscious' about the fact that I made less than she did. I'm not complaining though - her loss. *shrug*
