<p>dentists make a lot of money on the average - how do you know she won't be one of those dentists who are in bottom 20%? - and then suppose you say "no kids for now" and she goes ahead and gets pregnant and wants to keep the kid (you know how they're all roman catholics there, so no contraceptives) and you decide to divorce her and get stuck paying 20+ years for yours and hers kids until they get through college - meanwhile those 50% you got will be vanishing away paying for yourself, and kids, and perhaps the new girl you find, and new family (say you divorce in 15-20 years) so where does that leave you? - but then the mean age to divorce is like 5-6 years after marriage, (guess incompatible people can't stand each other longer than that) are you sure you'll get enough money from her in that period of time to pay for divorce lawyers? won't she be paying up enormous debt for opening up a practice in USA for all this time? - overall it sounds like a bad plan to me</p>
<p>so if you go for it, you must make sure you two can stand living together until she ends her debt and starts bringing in profit -- debt will be enormous if you count in the money she payed for dental school plus the money for buying equipment and renting space and hiring people for opening up a practice</p>
<p>anyway, marrying for money is a bad idea - most time human mind is to limited to be able to predict all the possible future outcomes thus there are so many horror stories out there about these types of marriages yet a never decreasing number of people who dream about making themselves rich by marrying</p>
