Im not rich but im well off and the person im in love with is poor. Lives day by day... For me it doesnt matter that he doesnt have money because he has a heart of gold but do you think anything will get in the way.. Do you think our situation will be an issue for us as we are totally two different people connected in one special way? I hope that made sense.
All answers are appreciated!
(P.S im female- im wearing a hat in my picture)
Thanx

Let us face reality for a moment. If you marry and time goes by and the heat of love subsides, and children come and expenses rise, money becomes an issue for the bringing up of the children and their college expense as well as household and personal expenses in general. My advice, for what it is worth, it is not for your partner to be rich but for him to have the ability to build himself a respectable future. Does he have in your opinion a future?

It's not about the amount of money he makes its what he does with it.
Does he have a lot of debt?
does he have a good credit score?
does he make the little money he has go a long way?
does he have the same financial goals as you (this may not matter if he doesn't spend and lets you handle everything)?
I'm single and 37, I'm not poor but not even close to well off. All the women I've met make more than me by $10k to $100K a year. Being a guy it's hard but when i dig deeper, i almost always have more savings, investments, retirement, and a whole lot less debt (i have none).
To sum up it's not how much you have its what you do with it.

What the question is, are you well off enough to actually be able to live with him and not struggle, yes it's easy for everyone on yahoo answers to say "if u like him money doesn't matter blah blah" but that just isn't realistic, you need to make sure your financially stable enough to be able to live comfortably

My suggestion would be that you bring this conversation up with him and find out what will happen in the longrun.What will happen if someone will be injured,hospitalised or even dies?People need to somehow secure their future and if he really cares about you,will somehow change his perception...
Goodluck...

You shouldn't even think about it since you don't have any problem with it at the moment.
