Should I fucking marry her now or what? What would YOU do in my shoes, fellow monkeys?
Don't want to waste your time so I'm gonna keep it short (you can ask me for details if you actually wish to read more):
I'm 24, been dating my girlfriend for 2 years - met in college. I'm a 2nd year IB analyst at a major BB. My girlfriend is 2 years older than me and has just graduated from a top 10 law school and got a job with a corporate law firm in NYC. She's nice, smart, hot, and (hopefully now) financially independent. If I actually make it in this business, I should be pretty well off like many of you in a few years so I really could do without any gold diggers who just want to find some banker to marry and fuck the poolboy while we crank pitchbooks at 4am :P
Anyways, my girlfriend pretty much is perfect in every way and now she's going to be financially independent. If anything, she'll have a 120k-160k salary and have better job security than me. Of course I can always find another girl but seeing how most monkeys like us don't get much opportunities to date or really avoid gold diggers, I kind of feel like I should really commit and lock her in.
Well, what would you do in my shoes? I mean, I really love this girl and I believe she's marriage-material but at the same time, is this too fucking early or what? I just don't want to lose her or be stuck with my secretary as the only available option due to my busy life when I turn 30.





I've heard that marriages
I've heard that marriages have the best chance for long-term success overall if both parties were 25+ on wedding day. I know it sounds weird, but it's because people's brains don't fully develop until then and aren't able to completely make the best decisions until that point. I'd recommend being with her but not tying the knot til after 25 if she still makes you happy by then.
^This. You're 24, go for it.
^This. You're 24, go for it. If you like someone enough why not? Besides, you could just have a longer engagement to see how it all works out. People these days are engaged for years even.

2 years isn't long enough to tell if she is crazy or not.
Have you lived wit her yet? Is she pushing for it?
You can wait until both happen...

Hearing that your girlfriend
Hearing that your girlfriend is perfect in every way and that she's a lawyer makes me feel skeptical... just my 2 cents. The heart wants what it wants though... go for it.

It's not like she won't
It's not like she won't understand your work schedule - she's a lawyer. If you like her enough, I say go for it. Or, if you're really that worried, ask if she's cool with waiting.
Her being successful is the best thing because, worst case scenario, her taking half of your (combined) shit isn't bad when she's pretty much just taking her own earnings.
Just thinking aloud.

^Haha, she's a lawyer, she'd figure out how to take everything.

And he's a banker, he should know how to hide everything. Haha
