DJ and Christina are correct, as is Robert P and the others...
money is just one component when selecting a mate
when I met my husband I had nothing...literally...I left my first husband because he beat me like eggs all the time...
my family is upper classed to wealthy and because they never approved of the marriage I didn't want to ask them for money
my husband did not have much either, as he left his first wife, a true gold digger, in New York....his ailing mother was about to die and she didn't want to go to MIssisipi with him to help her last months, so he just got tired and divorced her and left...
she had their rental properties, their primary home, their vacation condo, cars, everything...in his haste to get to his mom he screwed up the divorce...and he left his job because he had to leave...
I had debt because after I left my crappy ex decided to use my credit and go on a spree (he didn't need it he was very well off) and my current hubby's ex did the same
together we have built something and gotten rid of all our debt and are moderately wealthy -much better off than either of us was before
I have seen other debt or bankrupt or poverty couples get together and do the same.
This is the way it should go when you marry:
God first (there must be something higher than both of you in charge)
Each other / Love
Emotional compatability
Physical compatablilty
Monetary criteria, etc like DJ said
etc
You do need money to live and I don't recommend scouring say, the Bowery, looking for potential mates...but if the work ethic is there and monetary values, you can make it work

$$$ may not be romantic... but it pays not to be STUPID! I'm a sixty year old widow... and scrambling for a job. Get yourself a practical education, something like Dental Tech or Radiation Therapy... and be independent. My degree in Education is useless at this point in my life. The health care occupations will only need MORE people as the Baby-boomer generation ages. Don't count on love and romance to cover the electric bill. That said, I was happily married for forty years to a man I loved deeply. We had great times and I miss him. He left me without a penny...but with wonderful memories. In my next life, I'm aiming for Romance AND Practical!!! LOL Bless you and keep you! Hugs, Gina C.

It should be considered. People who think money doesn't matter have probably never been without it. Debt, spending habits, and work history should be considered as well. It doesn't sound very romantic, but neither is fighting all the time.

Depends on how you look at it. Personally I dont want someone I would have to support, but I dont want someone to support me either, so if by money being an issue you mean someone who can support themselves, yes then it is an issue for me. But if you mean by someone who is filthy rich, then no that is not the issue with me.

For me it isn't whether he has a lot of money or not- but does he have good work ethics to make sure that he will make sure his family is taken care of.

What does this have to do with Immigration?. You should seek another forum.

You would be foolish to ignore it, especially if they are in a lot of debt and have little ability to repay it.
