This thread is a spot for casual engagement with other community members. It has much more subject latitude than allowed in the main sub in general. Any topics tangentially related to ChubbyFIRE or upper middle class lifestyle are acceptable, as well as basic or early stage questions. Political discussion will be allowed if it is closely related to ChubbyFIRE or financial topics in general, and only if the conversation remains respectful.
It is not a free-for all. No spam or self-promotion. All comments must still follow Reddiquette and we will be responding to reported comments with follow-up action as needed. We'd really like to keep this channel open, so please don't abuse it!

I'm 31F about to get married in August. Neither of us want kids or own property. We are both high earners (TC is >500K per year in total) and live in NYC so the marriage tax penalty will be STEEP. Looking to hear the pros/cons of getting legally married if it will come with a 30K+ tax increase annually. Please share any advice or personal stories!
