Taking on Fiancé’s Expenses in a HCOL city
My fiancé left her job and moved out of state to be with me. She left a great paying corporate job making 250K/year. I myself make around 650k/year. We decided that I would pay for both of our expenses until she found a job. It’s been a year now and she still has yet to find a job she sees herself enjoying. We live in a High cost of living city and before I took on her expenses my own personal monthly expenses was around 6k a month not including rent/mortgage. Now with her it’s about double that (10k)again not including rent/mortgage. Even with my 650K salary I’m beginning to feel the weight of all this money going out the door every month. I don’t know if this is typical spending for a couple in their late 30s that lives in a high cost of living city.
