My boyfriend works part-time and doesn’t make much money, by choice he’s a computer scientist and electrical engineer by training, so he could be making much more if he wanted to. I work full-time and currently make about twice as much as he does. We plan on moving in together in the next few years, once all our kids are out of the house, and I think he should take on more work to make our salaries more equitable.
The conundrum: His retirement account is fully funded due to the many years he spent at stressful but high-paying jobs. Mine, on the other hand, is woefully under-funded. Is it fair to ask him to earn more now if he might end up supporting me later on?
