If your girlfriend makes a lot more than you, and she pays for your dates, trips, etc., do you feel bad about it or no?

But a teacher can’t realistically increase their salary to the doctor’s level through hard work.

Actually a doctor generally can’t increase much either unless they work private and are paid per patient.

In any case, using the 50k vs 150k example, the 150k earner will generally have more than 3x the disposable income. Still seems pretty unfair to split things 50/50.

It’s easier just dating someone in the same income bracket.
