How did you guys managed to work thing out, and was it a factor of tension between you? If you eventually got together, did the families got along well or were the others always "the snobs" or "the dire straits"?

My current boyfriend and I are from different worlds; I grew up around yacht clubs and coutillian balls, but he grew up with slightly less lofty surroundings. While we are both students and therefore not terribly wealthy on our own, I often expect more lavish nights out and fancier gifts than he thinks appropriate.
We have clashed more than once over this issue. What I have come to, though, is appreciating the gifts he can give me, especially thoughtful things. Once, after I had asked for an elegant weekend away, he surprised me with a night at a local hotel with a hottub in the room. He even set it up with candles and music and flowers for me before he picked me up. It was a total surprise and one of the most thoughtful things he had ever done. It wasn't exactly the Plaza, but it was what he could afford and it was a beautiful night.
As far as our families are concerned, they have only met once. I don't know what our parents thought of each other, but he and I sometimes feel uncomfortable in each other's worlds. Practices and events are different in different economic circles, because some people can afford more elegance than others. People who haven't grown up amongst elegance don't necessarily know what to do with it and don't really understand the point, while people who have always had it can't imagine life without it.
If you love each other, you will be willing to be patient and work it out. We are.

When I was about 17, or around that age, Officer Peterson liked me a lot. He didn;t have as much money as my family, but they liked him quite well. We aren't dating now, but we kiss and hug still. I went off to college and he stayed back home, therefore, I told him that I wanted to see other people. We are still real close and he is always invited to me and my family's parties.

what will keep you two together will be the values you both share and uphold.....
...even if one comes from a richer/poorer background than the other...
....it comes back to the values....
....meaning, what you both believe should be done with any wealth you have.....
It's your relationship, not necessarily an extension of either of your family's...but that depends on the value system either of you choose...maybe it is a value that a partner chosen will provide financial wealth....
So....figure out your values and go from there...

both - and money didn't matter either way. It's all in how mature you are and the priorities you have. Some things are just more important.
