I think you should revisit your assumption that getting a "better education" equates with being rich, especially at the early stage, when many people are considering starting families. I am in my mid-20s, and am half-way through a Ph.D. program at a prestigious university, after getting a BS at another well-acclaimed university. It would be hard to deny that I am highly educated. It would also be hard to deny that I am of an appropriate age to get married. However, based on the policy you propose, I could not bring my fiancé here to come live with me, even though I can comfortably enjoy my current lifestyle with him as an addition. I do NOT make 200% of poverty line. I make $30k a year as a student now. Academia (education for education's sake) is not a high-profitting career track.
