well yeah, I meant a wife, trying to keep it PC h:


I guess 3.8k to you is a lot more than 3.8k to other people. Seeing as how you're shocked by a house thats 151k :thinking:

the average income for this area is only $25k/year. And I'm under that.

With how much money I can actually put in the bank at the end of the month after bills... damn... 14-16 months before I could save up that much money.

edit: damn. now I'm kinda depressed. h: :wtc:

Zack look in the Carlisle area if you want a better annual income. The Scranton/WB area is always on the lower side.

Sounds like the girls way of trying to make a guy feel guilty for not wasting money on a stupid "tradition". Sounds kind of dumb to have your relationship compared to an expensive rock...the cheaper the rock, the less you care about her? That's :bs:
