- As Sandra L. said in her article, it is the attitude toward spending
- money that is much more important than how much money there is
- (provided there is enough for the basic necessities).

- Not a problem, unless she is making at least several times as much as I am
- making, in which case it might be a problem. Find me a rich woman and
- I'll get back to you :-)
-
- (I'm somewhat competative, and I don't know how I'd compensate ...)

-
- Yes it would cause a problem. I don't want a dependent, I want an equal.
-
- Plus, on the practical side, since >= 50% of all marriages end in divorce,
- I assume that if we are making approx. equal amounts, then I am less likely
- to be taken to the cleaners.
