“You think you want that but you haven’t considered the trade off.”
120k is new baseline for buying groceries and taking a vacation without worrying about paying bills.
I’m not mad at all. Some women want to be stay at home moms and have a good life and they want a man who gives that to them. If they’re willing to bust ass at home that’s a good deal.
But if you want somebody who is literally top 0.5% of wealth in the world I gotta wonder if you’ve actually considered what kind of life that will equate to. Your finances will be highly volatile if your husband isn’t incredibly prudent, you’ll literally have a problem finding things to spend money on, you’ll have to start obsessing over social standards of the uber rich and basically be forced to live a certain way until he retires (never). And I hate to say it but the spectrum for problem kids is a financial horseshoe.
My gf grew up in one of the richest area codes of the Midwest and her hs yearbook reads like a bad country song: alcoholic, druggie, died in car crash, suicide, prison for tax evasion, never went to prison but should have fifty times, suicide, actual serial killer, alcohol, abuse victim, abuser, divorce, divorce, divorce, they’re so nice, divorce and suicide then alcoholism, etc.
It’s like 1 in every 3 kids is fucked.
Meanwhile mine is “broke, happy, happy, broke and happy, preacher, welder, alcoholic with 7 kids, baby mama, jail, car crash, happy, happy, permavirgin happy, etc”
