New Love, Lots of Money Worries?

Hello, I met an amazing 30 year old RN… a dream come true for me, and I haven’t felt this chemistry since 2001 when I met my ex girlfriend (we have been broken up since 05). Ive dated, and Ive liked women but the chemistry wasn’t completely there. Our connection is amazing. The only problem that I am agonizing over is money. As an RN I know she makes quite a bit of money, and, although she is most definitely NOT looking for a man to support her financially, she would, however, feel better having someone that makes around what she brings in. I am not there yet, and I am fixated on becoming an airline pilot, which, in about 2 years could afford me a hefty salary, but once I complete my training, my first year salary will be ~30,000 a year (but it goes up fast).

Even though we just met, should I forget about this stuff and just let our relationship flourish or should I sit down and tell her that Im glad I met her, “but if you really like me, you’ll stand by me while I do what I have to do…” I would love some advice from women of a few different age groups… How should I handle this!!!
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
As a pilot, you know that once you’re established in the occupation, you’ll simultaneously be making plenty of money to support a family AND you’ll have job security (not to mention just how cool being a pilot is).
Keep this in mind: If you’re constantly worrying about money, how happy will you be to be with this dreamgirl that you connect so well with? You can explain your worries to her, but she’ll probably think you’re silly. If she knows you’re going to be a pilot, she knows you’re going to be making money in the future. . . don’t underestimate her intelligence or caring for you.
This job is your passion and will be your career for your entire life. . . this woman, if she wants to be and you want her to be, will ALSO be your passion & part of your life. Keep that in mind. You can have both. . . just be smart about it.
Good luck!
