do you make more money than your spouse?

not spouse, but yes, I make about 3 times what my live-in boyfriend does, after he pays his child support.  No, I am just glad he's a decent guy who WILLINGLY pays his child support, unlike that worthless piece of crap "daddy" of my daughter's!

You would be better off being married, your taxed at a lower tax rate.  But...it depends on what each of your incomes are.  Look at the tax tables for single for what you make and then what she makes and see how much tax they would take out...then compare it to the tax table for both of you under the married filing jointly column.

The more you make the more you spend.

Not necessarily- I have seen situations where a girl earns more then her guy and goes around advertising it to friends where ever she goes. That is intentionally hurtful to the guy. Generally - it shouldn't be an issue - I once earned less than my girl - now it is significantly the other way around - we just share and encourage each other.

When I met my husband, he had bad credit.  Neither of us knew how to manage money.  After 14 happy years together, we have come a long way.  He has great credit and we have two brand new vehicles.  We bought a new house 7 years ago and he makes enough $ that I can stay home with the 5 of our 8 children who still live at home.

You gotta ride this out, my friend. Think of diamonds and gold for your wife. It will be cheaper than the alimony.

Everyone thinks the answer is to earn more.  This isn't the case.\n\nThe key to having money is not spending it.  The reason people with three jobs seem to make more money is they don't have the time to spend it.  Control your spending.  Take a look at where you are wasefully spending your money, like unnecessary extra cable channels, dining out vs. groceries, and going crazy buying people christmas gifts.\n\nIn order for you to be successful, both you AND your husband should be committed to whatever plan you set into place.\n\nStart by putting at least some money into savings each paycheck.  You can use direct deposit at work, or pick a bank like http://ingdirect.com and they will take the money out at scheduled intervals.  Pay off your credit cards by making more than the minimum payments.\n\nHere's the most difficult part.  BE CONTENT.  This goes against everything we see/hear.  People who have money don't spend it.  They are happy with what they have.  Try to be that person.  Good luck!

You answered your own question.  If your husband makes good money you'll not get a loan.

That all depends on the people involved and what their values are. My marriage has lasted a very happy ten years, and most of that time has been in the "low income" category. Having "lots of money" is often nice as it helps to alleviate a lot of life's stresses, but also usually brings stresses of it's own, and many marriages have fallen apart due to having "lots of money". Again, it all really boils down to the people in the marriage, and what they value.

I think that whether the couple wins a ton of money or loses it all it could potential ruin the relationship.  Too much money and they could start to argue about what to do with the money or they could potentially split.  Losing it all they could end up arguing about why you made such a bad deal.  Then again, they could live happily ever after.  One never knows.

That depends. If you're married, then yes, for the region in which your spouse resides.  If you're single, you get a very small amount.  As a Specialist, I draw $8.10 for BAH a month.

how much do you make?

Not anymore satisfaction, the more you make the more you spend-yep, still in debt.  The more you make, the more responsibilities and stress, which means less time with the ones you love.  Yes, I can afford to do more things; however, the time is not always there.  I guess it also depends on the occupation.

Not in the least.  The monetary and medical benefits are still too high to pass up.  Living together is a sucker's game.
