Question - who makes more?

Because I am just curious!

Who makes more, you or FH/DH? Any issues because of it?

My answer: I make more -- a lot more. We also keep separate accounts. No problems, but obviously it means that when we have kids I can't really leave the job market for very long (however, he doesn't have a problem with this and we talked about this very extensively before we got married).

Re: Question - who makes more?

I make about half of what FH makes, but he works for the government so this is not uncommon. I still make a very decent salary, but nowhere near what he makes!

Re: Question - who makes more?

I make more than FH & but his pension, health benefits & retirement are way better than mine (thank god he works for the gov.);- )

Re: Question - who makes more?

at this point i make more than FH, not by a lot but i def make more...FH owns his own business and although business is great, people arent paying him...so hes suffering.

but we have joint accounts for everything and the money that is in there pays for our bills and what not...

Re: Question - who makes more?

We make about the same for now so no problems have arisen between us.

Re: Question - who makes more?

Right now FH makes a lot more $$ than I do b/c I am still in school.

Re: Question - who makes more?

FH makes a lot more than me. He is an attorney and definitely works longer hours than I do. I work at a nursing home doing a million different things and so far it's ok. No issues.

Re: Question - who makes more?

FH makes more than me but not by a HUGE insane amount... Just enough to hold it over my head! kidding!!

FH makes almost double what I make.

Not because he makes so much - just bc I make crap.

same here

Here too, only way more than double, and the effer lauds it over me. I could be making at least 15k more in a real company, but I'm stuck in the 7th circle over here until the economy picks up, or my Ponzi scheme starts kicking in, whichever comes first.

Re: Question - who makes more?

FH makes A LOT more than I do. But he also has 2 full time jobs so combined it's wayyyy more than I make.

The job he's had for longer but won't stay at forever.... he makes a good amt more than I do. The other job that he will keep.. he makes less than me now... but in like 5 years he will def surpass me!

We have joint accounts now that we use. But I use my individual ck acct be he doesn't balance his ckbook and I can't deal with that nonesense!

Eventually if all goes according to plan... I won't work anymore... when we have kids! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! UGH I'm tired of working!

I make more right now because i have been in this particular school district longer. We dont care about it though. We have joint bank accounts and share everything. makes the most sense for us.

We're in a similar situation only he's been in our school district 4 years longer than me so he makes more. He keeps reminding me that he will retire 4 years earlier too....

Re: Question - who makes more?

FH works two jobs (when possible) but I still make more.... I would even consider getting a second part time job just to stock away some money so when we have kids, I no longer have to work!!!!!!!!
FH will be making a lot more next year!

Re: Question - who makes more?

FH and I were making the same... Which was excellent!!!

Now FH got a new JOB (today) and he will be making double what I make and my pay is GREAT!! You can never make enough money though!! More money more bills!! .. Especially in the middle of wedding planning..

We each have a seperate acct.. and a joint for household expenses and savings... We thinking about joining once we get married.. INo need because we use eachother monies when needed.. No big deal..

When theres REAL LOVE everything is mutual!!
