Then add in payroll taxes and state taxes if necessary


the 40%-60% rate is very reasonable (60% is on the high side) when talking about all taxes and not just income taxes (why would you just be talking about income taxes, anyway?)

also, it literally is true in other countries even just for the income tax:

http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/01/pf/taxes/top-income-tax/index.html

At 60.2%, Denmark last year had the highest top personal income tax rate among the 34 countries in the OECD, an organization of developed and emerging countries. And that 60.2% applied to income over roughly $55,000.


I should have been clearer in my post. i agree, adding the taxes outside of only federal taxes, total taxes can be really high. Higher than what most people think.

i know i personally wasnt interested in living together unless i was sure i was going forward with proposing and getting married

I don't know if I even want to get married ever. I'm like 80% sure I never want to marry and 95% sure I never want kids.


Is the no marriage due to financial fears due to things like divorce?

That is a huge part of it. I also don't truly believe in monogamy, I think it's an ideal we should strive for but one that is inevitably doomed.

How blunt have you talked to your girl about these feelings? I know you said you've talked about it, but did you say it clearly, or try to talk around it?

She's looking for an emblem man, not an emblem boy.


Probably. I don't want to end it with her but if I'm not giving her what she needs, then I guess I should.

What are you afraid of? What's keeping you from adjusting your behavior to give her the emotional support that she needs?

I get that she's the first romantic lady in your life, so this might be new territory. But if you really like her and don't want to end it, why not invest more emotionally?


I actually thought I was. I recently read that 5 love languages book and I think I'm doing fine in regards to those things. And she's said so as well.

The things I'm scared of are things like telling her I love her or committing too much when I'm not sure how I totally feel.

And me just having doubts about the future because of things I might not like about her. And that's why she has doubts. She brought up love, I rejected her. She brought up moving in together, I pretty much rejected that, at least for the next few months.

How often do you guys see each other?


literally every day, why?

we pretty much always sleep together and etc, but I still have my own place for all of my stuff and that I spedn time at to hang with my roommates and stuff

I guess I could have been more clear about that but thats why I pointed it out, I am in a relationship where it seems logical for many reasons other than financial ones for us to live together but I'm still kinda iffy on pulling the trigger so its weird to me to see someone willing to jump in for purely economic reasons even when the personal ones are kinda dicey


I'm just curious. My gf and I see each other almost every day and she brought it up. I think it's too soon since we've only been dating for 6 months, and I like having my space. I was like, it's something we can talk about more in a few months, but even then I might not feel comfortable yet.

But I've also been wondering if maybe I'm in the wrong for thinking that would be too soon.

I dunno, it is kinda weird to me to move in with someone when your expectations for the future of the relationship are not clear and your impetus for doing it is financial

I mean I don't even live with my gf and we have been together for almost 4 years and I do intend to marry her because I prefer a higher level of independence until I do actually pop the question

How did you know your wife was the right one?

Great question I'd like to hear the answer to as well.

Mostly because I think true love is a lie.


it is a lie.

the basis of a functional marriage in my experience rests on respect much more so than love.


For the actual marriage part, I think it's very much about choice and choosing to make the other person feel loved and wanted while the two of you live life and try to better each other in some way.

It's the part before marriage that I'm so confused about. How do you know she's the one to want to stick it out with. What is this love feeling

I think it's going to end soon. She just seems to be fed up feeling like she likes me more than I like her. Which I guess is true, since she's dropped the L word and I haven't. And she can tell I have doubts about the relationship, the future, etc. And she doesn't want to waste her time.
