You're right, we aren't buying a house or anything soon, but she definitely needs a vehicle upgrade. Her car is 15 years old (will be 17 years old if it makes it until then). I'll probably hold off a little bit on upgrading my vehicle, but I'm tired of the rough ride of the jeep on longer trips.

ETA: also, it's going to be hard not to spend some of this money that we'll have coming in. I've spent the last 5 years (will be 8 total when she's done) saving shite tons of money and living frugaly (to my standards) in order to pay my grad school and her professional school with cash. This shite is for the birds

So sorry you feel like your masculinity is being challenged here. I would be ecstatic if I had a GF/wife that makes as much money as she could. It's just more money for us.

I wish that my wife made as much or more than me.

It's just a firs time event in my life that I'm commenting on. It's never happened until today and I shared my experience with this board. You can't tell me that after almost 15 years of being a professional, starting so far ahead of your SO, that this would have zero effect on you. Not even thread worthy? I wasn't a dick to anyone, just looking for a bicycle gang to roam the streets with.

ETA: It was either this or a thread about how I'm taking my 8 year old to a musical tomorrow night. There were less dick sucking references in this thread, though there were some, than there would have been in the other.

Thankfully most of her spending is on her mom's credit card

maybe I do make F-You $, if I casually ask about about something on a statement before I pay it, she says F-You go make some more money!

Yeah try being the only one who brings in money then see which is worse. Also if you're that worried about it, separate your money and see who has more at the end of each month. Hint: it'll be you.

Won't be long before she can afford to get rid of you.

Did you sign a pre-nup?

Oh, I'm fricking pumped. It's almost to the point where I (X) off the days. It can't come soon enough.

I guess I always knew my wife would make more than me, so it is easy to accept. It's funny when you think about the swing though. I make about $80k more than her now, and in three years it will swing so she makes about $70k more than me. I'm okay with that.
