For sure. The number one reason relationships go haywire is finance. When the money dries out, disaster follows.
A grandiose generalization which merits from me only one comment - poppycock!

Her Louis Vuitton handbags do not keep her warm or make her laugh.
She could always break the engagement but maybe being unhappy now and being unhappy in the future works for her if she's all hepped up about the income, the spending power and the "prestige" of being married to a physician. Yikes. Are you going to be in the bridal party and go along with the sham?

What planet do you come from? I have and have had many friends who are musicians over many years, some very famous and some not so famous but your generalization is way more bizarre than that of Antlered Chamataka.

I thought I may have crossed the line, but I see you understood where I was coming from. So, I'll repost it below:
Are you serious? I think you are.
Really, how many 22y/o's are actually paid well? Not many.
Most guys don't start getting the ball rolling until he's into his 30's. I think you're expecting way to much.
My question is are YOU looking for "social acceptance" or a good person?
For the record you can be involved with someone WITHOUT a degree that earns a very high income.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to be involved with a guy the earns a nice income, my issue is you're coming across as being elitist because he does not have a degree.
I know Options Traders that don't have a degree that earn well over $50,000.....A MONTH!
I know people that have earned that much in a day on the internet. I know people that are business brokers(sort of like a real estate agent but they sell businesses) that earn $200,000-$300,000 a year. None of them have degrees.
Please, don't get caught up into whether someone has a degree or not.
I can understand you wanting someone that earns a high income but in this day and age a degree does not equal high income nor does it mean STABLE and SECURE employment.
My mom and dad are successful, I mean really successful. They've owned businesses, hotels, real estate, etc..........but when they first met in college my dad told me he was really poor. They had a desire to live a nice life and provide a nice life for us children at the time so they WORKED TOGETHER to create the life they wanted.
My dad struggled in college, financially and academically. It took my dad 7 years to get his degree. I'm glad my mom did not overlook him because he came from a poor family and was not as "smart" in school as she was.
They've been married for 40 plus years. My point is, don't overlook they guy because he does not have everything that you desire. Most of the things that you'd like him to have can be obtained with time.
I think it'll be more enjoyable for you and you'll get a different perspective on life in general.
The ironic part about it is that age and maturity isn't as synonymous as people think. I've dated guys that were 5+ yrs older and they were all about games and nonsense.

I never said it was synonymous. I said older and mature for a reason.
Notice I said MATURE. If you were dating older guys that were about games and nonsense, how could they be mature?
An older MATURE guy is vastly different from a young mature guy. Vastly different.
