Yes, although it doesn't need to be much. I have to know that he's able to hunt and bring home bacon.

It would be such a strain to be the sole financial source in a household. What about when I'm pregnant and want to leave work for several years to raise the kids and homeschool them at a very young age for a few years before they start going to school? How would we live? I'm 30 years old and I want a family someday so these are things I think about, whether my future family with a prospective husband would be secure, being among those things.

Men have requirements of women to be with us, too.

Of course there are women out there who are materialistic or who want to be treated like a princess, but most average, everyday women aren't like that. I have no idea where some of the guys on this board are meeting all these women who don't have jobs and who are looking for a sugar daddy to fund an extravagant lifestyle, but I don't see them in my day-to-day life. Generally, as TLC put it, women don't want no scrubs.

When I was young and starting noticing the opposite sex

It didn't matter to me. I thought love could and would conquer all.
Oh boy!

Now as older, love is number 1 still, but this man has to be financially wise and secure.
Not rich, just know how to handle money and have a plan.

No, I don't expect a guy to be wealthy, I just expect him to be living independently, supporting himself and not acquiring useless debt.

As far as gifts and material good, meh, I don't really care about that stuff so if I were single I wouldn't immediately discount a guy because he couldn't buy me Prada and diamonds.

lol! It certainly isn't the norm. A lot of the guys who post here must time-travel back to the 1940's and 50's.

I think few (if any) "decent" men expect much financially from women. Women may not expect wealth but they usually want at least someone who carries their own weight and can offer some security if they plan to start a family - I don't think that's at all unreasonable.

To answer the question in your title - Nope!!! He does not need money to be with me, but he needs his integrity intact, have good manners, treats others with respect, and applies himself when necessary. All these things are free, and show me what kind of person you truly are on the inside. I can manage down my lifestyle at any time for the right man without compromising who I am or who he is.
