my weekly income £237 per week after NI and Tax (£16000 per annum)
My rent, council tax, gas, electricity, phone bill £160 per week
Travel card £30 per week
Food and toilet tissues £47 per week
There is no money left to buy a little sinlge rose if I meet someone!
Is that the problem I am having in terms of love and relationship?
How can I enjoy my loving life with someone?
Are we just here to pay the rent and basic bills?

I do know a better wage job would generate additional coins but Noone need to pay more wage in the employment market. it is unrealistic.

True love is not about money, love is free with the right person. But living in this world does seem to be all about working, getting paid, then it all goes on necessaties not enjoyment. Try and save on shopping by going to a cheaper store or buying shops own brand, but not toilet tissue as it doesnt last as long! Try and save a few pounds a week then at end of month u will have a least a bit of money to buy your girl a rose.

If you feel like your not earning enough money to go out and meet people then maybe you can find a new job, or ask your boss for either a pay rise or chances of promotion. You can also see if your entitled to any help paying your rent and council tax, and cut down your phone bill, only use it for emergencys!

maybe you could try budgeting the money you have a little better, e.g, phone bill?I bet some of those calls could made later in the day when calls/txts are cheaper, electricity and gas, do you have everything onall the time? Eat on a budget for while-maybe just use mincemeat, it makes a hoard of tasty meals.All this besides, it shouldnt matter to a woman how much money you have if she is genuine, you should try and get yourself in a better financial position for yourself, not anybody else.hope this helps!

Don't worry about money! Life is definitely all about paying bills. Me and my husband have lived like that for 10 years- when we do have a little bit of cash to go out, it's a bonus! The right woman for you really won't care about your salary-just don't make a big deal of it. Anyway, your situation may change and you could find yourself better off financially in a few years. don't worry and don't try too hard- I'm sure you'll be ok :)

Come on mate love isn't always about money you go out there meet a lovely lady make her your friend and then your lover so you can do things together with her there is not need for you to spend alot of money some women like night in or out you just try to plan a lovely night for example you can go to a roller disco enjoy your time like in 70's and 80's so when you meet a lovely lady who you feel comfortable with I tell you mate you wont worry about how much money you earn because it's not always about money

If you are concentrating on day to day living, then fitting anything else in is a problem
I hate being given flowers, I appreciate the thought, but would rather see them where they belong

It depends on what type of lady that you are trying to attract...But if you're looking for true love your income doesn't really matter....It's the little things that mean so much...A note that has been left for her...hand picked wild flowers....home cooked meals prepared by you....Love has no boundaries....

It probably won't stop you falling in love with her....and money shouldn't stand in the way of her falling for you!!
And Brian we're not all the same..I went out with a bloke who had s**t loads of cash..but no personality!!.....had to move on, my hubby's not rich..and wasn't when I met him, but it's the things he says and does for me that make a difference!!

Even if you earned twice as much, the woman would find a way of consuming any spare cash. They are like black holes. I wish I could meet one that could support me.
