You sure it's marriage and not also having kids? They seemed desperate to have kids, forcing thru like what, 3 miscarriages? Nick said that's what Kayla wanted but you can't trust that.The money seemed to kick in for Nick once he got married. After he gets out of college and marries Kayla, she isn't working and they are living in a house I would say was beyond their own means from the point of view of Nick's probable income.
The other interesting thing is that one of the things Nick seeths about on a regular basis was having to live in Kayla's apartment at the very end of college. This is the poverty housing he complains about. It seems that while the money kicked in after he got married, nobody was giving Nick money to set up housekeeping with his girlfriend in the sort of style he thought he deserved.
As to whose money Nick was spending, that is a more complicated question that it seems. His father was a long-term and early employee of Cray Computer. He should have done very well out of the company being acquired by another company (SGI) around the end of the 1990s(?). Some of the money going to Nick at least in the early days of the marriage could have been his father's money.
I imagine going to law school was a rather easy decision for him. He didn't work (or there has been no proven employment) during his law school years. He was going full time. In addition to someone paying his law school, that same person had to be supporting all the expenses of the family at that time. Law school was to an extent a paid vacation from adult responsibilities for Nick.
