I'm glad I got married but we did it when we were fairly young and both equally poor as hell. But we had newly minted college STEM degrees. I think getting married later when one person has some decent net worth and the other is bringing literally negative to the table is, how I should say, something to be very careful with.

i didn't get married until i was 39. she's even more frugal than i am. woot. now we are both retired, bills all paid, little extra for fun things, and best of all: she's my best friend.
don't marry someone you can live with, marry someone you can't live without. also nice that she literally saved my life 5 years ago. she didn't want her $55 investment (cost of marriage license) to go away that quick. from what you describe, she's not wise with money. keep looking. or she'll be unwise with yours too. then neither of you will have any spare change for a burger on tuesday. |

I've read a little about cohabitation agreements, but maybe a rental agreement is better??? We've also talked about her paying half the rent and utilities once she can. At first, she could only afford to pay $850/month. Now I'm wondering if that's a good idea. I don't want her to have any claim/rights to the house if things end, but I also don't want to pay for someone else to live rent free in my house. |

Generally, most women are in a relationship to get married. It's their nature.
If she's in it to be married, and you have no intention of getting married, then you need to let her know. And like Will said, whatever the case, cover your assets. |

long, long ago, i worked in a small, sleepy southern town for a few months, at the local power plant (nuclear), and most folks lived in this little town. it featured a Piggly Wiggly for groceries. after a few trips to get munchies, the locals would figure out that you were one of those "rich" power plant engineers. one of my co-workers, older man, related that as he was checking out of PW one day, the clerk, a young gal, chatted him up. he asked her what a nice gal was doing in a small place like that? "waiting for someone like you to take me out of here".
to some, you are just a ticket to somewhere else. |
