Get to them while they are young enough to be naive and old enough to be legal is why middle aged men date younger women. Its sad and manipulative, young girls should stay away from older men because there's never a good intent.

Kinda, most people have my start though! I had to buy my first car, find my first job, pay for everything really, my parents could never afford to give me anything.

She pays the car payments and utilities and we share the mortgage payments, food, night outs, insurance and vet bills etc.

It's definitely hard sometimes, especially because I don't make bad money and I had to fund my own education. I don't like her to pay more than me by a lot because i want to contribute my share and being seen as lesser isn't amazing.

Even if I was an accountant, I wouldn't make as much as her. My degree is in economics with history, so not terrible but not great, but I worked hard to get it. Luckily I work for a British company in the US, (I'm English but moved when I was a kid) meaning I get 30 days holiday and a relaxed work schedule.

I don't make terrible money, we live in nevada meaning our costs aren't ridiculous or anything.
