This thread is stupid unless you have some kind of interesting details about how much debt you originally had, how quickly you knocked it down, and things you did to increase the amount of income available to put toward loans.

No one is otherwise impressed by you being only 30, yet already stuck in a low paying, dead end in-house job.

Most poasters on here will probably have a special section in a restaurant for people making as much as you, but I think you are doing pretty well. Your chick is pulling her own weight and you are in a nice in-house position. When I was in BigLaw, I went to eat with my mentor (a service partner). At the time, I was thinking about marrying a chick. He just told me, "Try to marry a woman that makes her own money or that is not draining you dry every month." I talked with other associates, and I guess the partner's wife was just a stay at home mom (with a nanny) and loved to go on shopping trips with her friends. The dude looked depressed every day I went to work. Seems like you may get to avoid this scenario.

Total bull shit. If you are going to have kids, a stay at home mom is a must.

Nannies and shopping trips are, of course, not a must. The partner is a pathetic faggot whose wife runs him.

This should not out me, but the partner's natural kids were all out of the house. The wife wanted to adopt a kid. So, they adopted a kid and the wife got a nanny to help her out. The dude was constantly struggling to make it financially. He would constantly brown bag his lunch. I met his wife once, and she was a total 9.5 for her age. I guess it was a trade off he wanted.

Yea, I agree with you. I am sure that is more aligned with what he meant to convey to me. It seems to me as if the OP may potentially be with a chick that adds more value than she takes away.

100k is not that good. I spent five years in BIGLAW and was able to save over 300k, 65k of which was in a 401k.

I only had like 75k debt when I graduated, and still have like 60k debt but at 2% interest cause I graduated before the gov started raping ppl.

I've also made at least 75k in the stock market.

I haven't worked in over a year, I just sit on my ass and masturbate.
