70K is definitely awesome for one person, but maybe your brother doesn't think it can support 2 people?

Not that I mean you're high maintenance, of course

lol, I didn't assume thats what you meant.

Yea, this is like the 3rd time I'm probably going to have a quarrel with my family over a perfectly great guy, who just happens to have a lower income. I'm so sick of arguing over the same things. My parents don't even want me to like a guy with a beard....

I hope things work out for you inshallah.

I think some people, like me, just dont go well with birth control pills. I can't imagine which birth control would suit me, considerign Yaz is the lowest dose, and I am just very sensetive to hormonal fluctuations as it is. Some womens bodies just dont take well to added hormones, I guess.

My sister took mericette tho, and she liked it, so maybe you can try that.

different people react differently to all the brands out there. inshallah you can work with your doc to find one that works well for you. there are variations in the amount and type of hormone and most ppl are eventually able to find one that works ok for them.

that sucks...im sure your parents mean well. but still sucks. maybe sit down and have a talk with them and help them understand that what is important to them may not be important to you.

u shud just talk to them directly, and tell them that 70,000 is plenty to start off with, and if they are so stuck on believing that 70000 isnt enough, tell them theres a good chance he will make more over the next few years when he gains experience etc...

and ditto to what farah said

that is..if you really want it.

Trust me 70,000 is really good income for a starting position....but mabye your parents are worried more about your expectations.....in the sense that If you have lived a lifestyle that its lavish and comfortable with the rents making well over 100,000 grand then yeah i could understand why they would be worried about 70,000 income.


Basically just talk to your parents and let them know that your fine with living with 70,000.
