Does CAsh Matter?

[discipleship8]

When it comes to considering a potential partner(who is a christian), does it matter if they have a lot cream(dough, money, cash, wealth)?

 

[Wormie]

no, it doesn't matter to me. I will be capable of earning money and God will provide so if he's as poor as a churchmouse, I would still want to date/marry them - IF I LOVED THEM (for other, more permanent reasons).

 

[angel_girl86]

I don't think that how much money someone earns would be the issue. I would try to find out how they spend their money? Do they tithe? Do they waste it on material things? etc.

No Cash or wealth doesnt matter to me, If i really love that person then thats all that matters and i agree with the above person. it only matters on how they spend it. or how much and are they just wasting money.

I don't care too much for money... 'cuz money can't buy me love! *dances around like a lunatic*

Okay, that was my random outburst for the day. We now return you to your normal program.

Seriously though... I think Lennon was on to something there.

Masses amounts of cash? No. A guy who is willing to work hard to make an honest living. Yes. Of course I'll be working too, duh! But money can't buy happiness. And dude, Lennon was on to something. Philosophy of life from the most unlikely of places.

Lennon was a brilliant guy in most respects. So was Dylan.

Gah! I love Bob Dylan! Of course you couldn't understand the poor man part of the time. But what a writer.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

of course it doesn't matter. And looks don't matter either.

What matters is if a guy makes enough money to support his wife. Does he have to be rich? Nah. But he has an obligation to be able to afford to take care of her without her having to work.

I think having a job--and knowing how they handle money would be the points I would most care about.Being responsible and Frugal is good..But people who are selfish where there money is concerned is a turnoff

My one friends husband freaks out about any spending and he is in the Oil feild and makes in a month what most make in a year.. but it is just who he is and that would drive me insane and I know there would be major trust issues.

Money does not buy happiness by any means but being comfortable is way less stressful for all involved.

No, I think it matters more if they are responsible with what they do earn and if they are a good steward of what they do have, even if it's not very much.

 

[Blank123]

I'll be the dissenter here hehe. Yes it does matter.


He doesn't have to be rich or anything but he does have to have enough to be able to support himself and a family.

I'd be lying if I said "oh it doesn't matter because love is all we need..." BTW, I hate that kind of mentality becasue let be realistic is love gonna pay the mortgage, food, clothes, and other expenses...I think it's key...if you look at stats you see finances as the 2nd highest reason for a divorce...money totally matters but also the ability to manage it does...

Ditto for me....

 

[Super Gnat]

While it doesn't matter to me whether or not the guy has lots of money, it does matter to me how he manages it. I don't wanna get hitched to nobody who spends all their money on lotto tickets or doesn't give to the Lord.

Money doesnt matter at all, but responsibility with money matters quite a bit.

I think that starting out in marriage is hard enough without having cash flow problems to go along with it. Of course it's important. So many marriages take a nose dive over money issues. I would like to have some saved up before getting married, as well as an income that would cover my wife and myself...as well as the inevitable little ones which have a habit of unexpectedly arriving....

If money mattered to me, I wouldn't be majoring in education.
