Will you marry for financial stability/money?

[yam]

Will you marry for financial stability/money?I was talking to one of my friend, and she said the whole point for getting marry is to be financially stable. She said ,when she gets marry the guy has to be rich. Are some young women these days getting marry for the wrong reason.As for me, I am not impressed by material things and money.

 

[Nom De Guerre]

Egh, I plan on being a provider but don't need more than enough to live comfortably, healthy, and enough to make my wife and I spontaneous from time to time

 

[Sweet Melody]

No. I'm not a gold digger.

 

[PetLuv]

Not rich, no. But I want someone who has an ability to hold a job and provide for us.

I've done the "money is nothing" thing once upon a time, and you know what; being poor is not all that great. Even worse is being poor when you work 4 jobs as the sole breadwinner and the other you are with drinks it all away.
I do pretty well by myself and I won't accept someone who brings worse into my life; financial or otherwise. So to an ever so slight degree, yes I want to marry someone with money.

 

[Jupiter Drops]

Hm, yeah, who wouldn't want to marry a rich dude?



















She take my money when I'm in need
Yeah she's a trifling friend indeed
Oh she's a gold digger way over town
That dig's on me

Pretty much this . I also plan on working for as long as possible. Not sure I want to work if kids come into the picture, but that will be between me and him. Plus, I didn't get my master's to have somebody else take over that debt .

Difficult question.

Would I reject a guy based solely on his job? Yes, because it demonstrates his level of motivation/ambition in life. If he has low motivation, then I won't want to date him, much less marry him.

So basically my answer is that I'm not looking for a sugar daddy, but I want someone who is motivated and ambitious (a self-made man).

I don't want to struggle with poverty because being poor is not fun and I don't want someone who is lazy.

I partially agree with you. I wouldn't reject a guy based solely on the job he has RIGHT NOW. The economy sucks. I've been dealing with the backlash of this for a few months now. I want someone who is motivated and ambitious. If he's LOOKING for that great job while not working a great job, is a lot different that taking a low job just because he was able to get it (and not doing anything else to better his situatoin) .

God bless you for this.

I'm not sure if I want to work if kids come into the picture.

I still haven't decided whether I want to work or be a stay-home dad.

Actually, I was thinking of being a pastor's husband.

I hear ya. Let me know how this works for you.

 

[m.a.r.X]

It is a factor, definitely now that the salaries are kind of decreasing. I don't think I can do it all on my own.

 

[Sketcher]

I'd have to meet a rich girl who actually impressed me first. Can't say that has happened yet.

Wow really? A job is what you do, not who you are. Maybe his motivations aren't caught up in material things.

 

[redblue22]

Would I reject a girl based solely on her job? Yes, because it demonstrates her level of motivation/ambition in life. If she has low motivation, then I won't want to date her, much less marry her.

I want someone who is motivated and ambitious (a self-made woman). I don't want to struggle with poverty because being poor is not fun and I don't want someone who is lazy.

Thank you for being who you are.

My money is God's money, if she has a problem with that it's her problem. And I feel the same about her money. But she does need to be stable as in doesn't bounce checks and have uncontrolled spending habits. It's not our money it's His.

 

[crishmael]

I wouldn't think so, but under extreme situations I might act differently.
