Dating with too big TC gap
Dating a woman who makes ~50-65k at 32. Should I be worried about this? What have people done in similar situations done? Edit: Maybe it’s not about the money, but what it represents. Ambition, hard work, dedication, etc. TC: 1.7
If that's how you're deciding whether you want to be with someone or not it's not going to end well.
Date but beware of gold digger They target men like you
Discuss it with her. Maybe she might also feel the income gap is too much. I would feel uncomfortable with a guy making that much more than me because I'll constantly feel obligated.
lots paying all the bills and lots of alimony and child support and halving all retirement accounts in your future
🤔 I thought you didn’t care about TC and just looks?
If it's bothering you enough to ask public opinion, you should date someone with you TC range and shutup about it. Don't have to go till ambition hardwork and dedication. Paths might have been different for you both. A construction worker also does hardwork, a CEO also does hardwork. But labour pay is different scale.
True.
True, though a construction worker isn't what one would usually describe as 'ambitious'.
Bay Area ? Dm me. 30f
Your TC ?
if you care, date someone like yourself. if you don’t care, then don’t be surprised if she decides to stop working. if you’re ok with that than bueno. i married someone who didn’t earn any money which then lead to various issues around money and spending that money (there were other issues as well). to be clear, i didn’t expect her to be a FAANG exec, but I did expect her to have something other than watching TV. divorced and single now. TC ~$3.2M.
I don’t focus on TC, but ambition, smarts is exciting. They usually have decent careers and income. Other things matter too.
If you like her that’s all that matters.
This advise is stupid. You need to make sure that you will not be taken advantage of, the disproportion is beyond substantial. May be not pre nip but your should go with your gut , ambition , drive are all great qualities to judge a life partner on
