I have a great friend who I've always been able to identify with because we both dated (she married) men who make less money than us and are not as financially stable as we are. (This is not how we became friends, just a coincidence.) My boyfriend and her husband both didn't finish college and it has severly effected their income potential. That being said, we have always had great relationships because we did not place that much importance on money and material things. She got married a few years back. Now, she is getting divorced. She sad that the stress of being the breadwinner is too much and fears that it will just get worse if they have kids (she wants kids). Now I can't help but think "if they can't make it, what makes me think that we can?". I know I should not base my actions on what is going on in someone else's life but it really shakes me. Plus I want to be a supportive friend and think about what she is going through. I just can't help myself though.
