There is no doubt that economically she is at an advantage; and while I doubt she lives "below her means" - she doesn't appear to be the "show off" type - works most holidays, doesn't take long lavishing trips and has told me how her career is one of the lowest paid so it wouldn't be wise to go in it for the money. Still, I live at home and work part time but she has done everything in her power to show me that it's okay, and eliminate the stresses I have surrounding that and T.

I also see my T as above me educationally because, well, she is. I haven't completed my track yet and only once i've become established in a career, I will consider her my peer in that aspect.
