im sincerely asking these questions. please answer either your personal experience or of someone you know firsthand.
has anyone here given up a relationship with someone they love because they wanted to try to find someone else who has money.
and if you found someone who has money...but you love the previous person with no money more. but you married the wealthy one. did you end up regretting it years down the road. or were you happy you chose the money
on the other hand. did any of you love someone who had no money but got with them anyway? did you regret it later and wish you found someone whos more financially stable or even years down the road did you still feel you made the right decision?
sorry if i sound naive or shallow. but i an genuinely wanting to know peoples responses.
Does this person just not have much money, or do they have a problem managing what little money they do have? Those are two very, very different issues.
Also, do they have realistic plans for being able to support themselves and their children in the future? Are they making solid progress towards that goal?
And, how are you with money? Do you manage it well? Are you progressing towards earning enough that you will not need to care how much your partner has? If not, why not?

I don't think money is the big factor in a loving relationship. However, this is not to say that money is not important at all.
I decided to marry my financial equal, as long as he makes similar amount of money I make, I don't think we'd have any problems in the future.
I've known several people in real life married for money. well, they are not happy but money is more important to them than love. To each his own I guess.
I had a girlfriend break up with me over her perceiving another guy was a better catch all around. She was considering a few different factors, but money was a big part of it. That guy eventually left her, I'm married now, and this ex of mine? She's 37 now and still lives with her mom!
I married a poor girl. I calculated the present value of supporting her over my life-time to my next best opportunity; then i mentally calculated the present value of the expected benefits of being married to her and divided by my marginal utility of income...and married her swiftly.
