Can confirm that this is awesome. Our “dating anniversary” is the day after Christmas so I can consolidate that into one. Now all I have to remember is our wedding anniversary.
My girlfriend (now wife) was making 35% more than me when we first started dating. She is now in a top 3 MBA program so needless to say, she will be out-earning me post grad. The education gap bothers me sometimes, but the money part has never bugged me and I wish I could pinpoint why so I can share with you. I have a good job and make really good money, so perhaps I don’t perceive my salary as inferiority, rather, her salary is vastly superior. Your boyfriend’s eventual wage doesn’t sound terrible. I’ve heard of teachers earning in the upper 5 figures. 60% of a VP’s salary at a tech firm sounds like decent money. It sounds like it’s a money issue WHILE he’s in school. What you have to look out for AFTER school is if it is no longer a money issue, but becomes a less-money-than-his-woman issue. If it’s the latter, he needs to get over it or you need to get over him. Otherwise it will be a perpetually reoccurring conflict in your relationship which can only be resolved by him making more than you.

There is a difference between a head mash and a “more please!” head push. I don’t mind an encouraging head push when I’m down there.
Was his name Joe?
Out of the can?
How many trees does Girl get from her dad every month?

No control over TFM content is such a cop-out. Perhaps this column should have been written by Madison?
What if I’ve been fishing for a “sup” and have been unable to get any?
