Today my younger brother showed me a pic of this girl he dated for quite some time before (the girl is now getting married soon to another guy). On the pic i noticed a White Lamborghini that apparently belongs to the girl's fiance. So i quipped "Well at least you saw now how quick she would tie herself to someone if that guy was rich". My brother thou, took it in such a way that he felt desperately in need of a Lambo too. I feel concerned for him, i know its not wrong to dream of getting rich and all (heck who doesn't want to be). It's just that I feel that the only kind of women he wants to go after, are the ones that would only love you if you are a millionaire and beyond. Anyways, How about you guys? Are you tied to someone who would love you for richer or poorer? Are you also looking for a partner who is not materialistic? :grin:
Just show him this article http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Womens...marriage-killer-study-finds/story?id=14721071
I'm a poor student so girls can't get no money outta me. :grin: It's the worst thing when women want expensive gifts and expect you to pay bonus stuff all the time, these kind of relationships are never satisfying and will end on a bad note.
Ambitious/has goals/knows what he wants to do are just key words women use rather than just saying he better have $$$
The problem is that nowadays people focus on the money and that is the end and not the means. The means is a driving passion about doing something you love. The end is happiness regarding that and can usually come with money if there is a commercially viable part to it. Even it there isn't, people make money in order to do what they love, so who cares anyway. Also the way you begin a relationship or win someone is usually how you will lose them. If you win someone over with money, then you'll lose her based on that or that she'll quantify her love on that and there's always a bigger fish.
Money doesn't solve any problems, it just takes some of the immediate pressures away. You can be just as happy being dirt poor as being rich. Find a girl that doesn't give a crap about the car you drive, if she is that superficial, she is not worth the effort. DD
Being rich doesn't solve any problems but being porr sure causes some. Money is the number one reason for divorce.
money solves a lot of problems. and i don't buy the BS that you can be just as happy without it. the key is to not let money dictate your life. you should associate money with freedom, not happiness. freedom from a 9-5, freedom to see and do whatever you want when you want, freedom to have the time to spend with your friends and family. that leads to happiness. as for the OP's original question, i feel i'm with someone who will love me for richer or poorer. unfortunately, there's a bigger issue we have to resolve which there can be NO compromise.
Money solves many problems - affording a house, affording college, affording health care, affording retirement.....
You will get sick if you're not well prepared or take less care of your body against bacteria, viruses, injury, bad health, etc. From the get go, you can be prepared if you have good habits, education, etc.
Money doesn't buy happiness but it's a good down payment. I think if you have a solid foundation, more money will make you happier. If you have a solid foundation, lack of money will be hard but you can make it. Without a good foundation, either lack of money or too much money will break the relationship.
