Absolutely not. Love conquers all. For richer and for poorer. |

Yes, I was engaged to a guy whose family had a LOT of money... He bought me things all the time, took me to Europe every year, etc... and he ALWAYS reminded me of all the things he did for me. <rolls eyes> So I broke up with him.
My husband was a really nice guy and made $10 an hour when I met him. lol. I thought he was awesome. Now it's 8 years and he makes a 6 figure salary... and he ALWAYS reminds me of the things he does for me.
<sigh> |

Nope. In fact, I helped support him while he was looking for a job after the tech bubble burst in '01. Didn't consider dumping him then, wouldn't consider dumping him now when he's making nearly six figures. |

No, I married a teacher and I am one. Though money had nothing to do with why I chose to marry my husband, ambition did. He worked his way out of poverty and I respect him immensely for that. It lets me know he wants a better life for himself, me and future children. |

having a similar outlook and career etc is a good thing you have same goals etc I personally wouldn't have wanted a long term relationship with someone who didn't want to work or have no drive/ambition. |

Only to the extent that he isn't a bum. If he was hard working but had a crappy job that didn't pay much it would be ok. If he didn't make anything because he was lazy than yes then it would matter. |

Let me give you the male viewpoint here. I eliminated many women from consideration as wives because they were bad with money. I fell in love with my wife for all the normal reasons - BUT - I married her without reservation because she was really responsible about money. And I proceeded to work my as* off for 20 years supporting her and our 3 kids. And I didn't mind, because she was always good with money and always greatful to me for working hard.
For the first 10 it was like normal people, we lived nice but had to be careful and had to be patient and save for large purchases and had to pay a mortgage every month. Then I got really lucky at work, right place right time, and in the space of 5 years our lives totally changed. Now we have zero debt, no mortgage, she can buy whatever she wants. LOL: Old habits die hard, we both discuss any purchase over 300. I just never say no. We are both still good with money. PS: Because she always treated the money in a good way, was good with the kids, and was super great with me in bed, I never thought about leaving her or cheating on her with a younger woman when I started making lots more money. |

No, one day I just met some boy at church, wearing dirty cut off pants, and after we had already fallen in love and vowed to be married, which we now are, I met his parents and found out that they we're near-millionaires, who like to spend money on us. So I guess it worked out well, butI would have still married him he had really been the homeless kid I thought he was. lmao! |

I know it didn't here. But how can one be assured that the ones who married for money have found their life partner? I think they only have Mr. Right Now because I have yet to find where money has bought happiness. Especially when you take into consideration that money is the root of all evil. |

When he asked me to marry him, I didn't think about anything for one second except for that I'm happy with him. His job didn't matter or didn't come into play in my thoughts. |

It was important for me to know that he could support himself, by holding a job. Also if he liked his job. I was not going to support a deadbeat lazy no-good-for-nothing user. But the amount of money he made did not matter, as long as he was happy with the job and the pay, I am happy. |

ooooooo

No not in the slightest. When we met we were both in the air force but then we came out and took a 10 grand paycut between us. Money isnt a big deal to us and we can still manage and we didnt want to be seperated from our child. I couldnt care less if my husband was on minimum wage. He isnt on a high wage but I work part time and ease the burden and we are very happy |

No.....I am in love and I have never "been" with anyone just for his money. Although I have dated men who have a lot of money....I just have more integrity than that. |

Not at all. I was happy to find he was employed tho...that's always a plus! |

it was to my EX wife... per an email to her adult daughter my money was a prime reason she married me... and why I lived in a Title State so when I divorced her she didn't get squat. |

money didn't come in to it but having a job did
i have my own house and didn't think i could handle supporting a drop out like some of my friends |

I make more money than my husband. I am a professional, upscale bartender, and he is a lawyer. I pay the majority of the bills. |
