Would you marry a man that has no money?

Answer 1

'would i marry a women with no money' YES, cuz im gonna make a lot in about... 4 years

Answer 2

That would depend on the man. If you truly love someone, then money should not be an issue. At the same time, if that man is absolutely no money and no prospect of getting a job, he is probably using me for my money. So no, I would not marry him. But if the man I love that truly loves me back is going through a hard time and has no money but is in the process of getting back on his feet, then I would help him get a good job first, then I would marry him.
I would rather marry a poor man I love than a rich man I can't stand

Answer 3

Well, I'm a man, so I'm going to rearrange the question to:

Would I marry a woman that has no money.

My answer is: Possibly.

I am currently engaged, and to be honest, her spending habits are not the best. However, that is not the only thing I base my choice on. Was she nice? Pretty? Friendly? Did she complement my personality? So on and so forth.

Each person is different. If you choose people based on money, I, personally think that is bad. Why does that person have little money? Spending habits? Gambling? Drinking? Credit Card Debt? Those can be very bad. However, they can be changed, depending. Are the other attributes of the person good enough that you would work with them to curb the habits?

What if they had a bad situation that they couldn't control? Such as a family emergancy? What if they had a lot of expensive schooling? They may be poor now, but that could change once they're set in their carreer.

Basically, it comes down to how bad is their situation, and is it worth dealing with to be with them?

Answer 4

I will be - on October 31st, 2007. It doesn't matter to me; he loves me better than anyone & treats me so well. Together, what we have is better than being rich. (although I wouldn't be grumpy if he won the lottery or anything!!)
It's not about the stuff, it's about what you are together. I need him & he needs me & we make each other so happy!!!!!

EDIT: Let me clarify things - we both work, we both do okay & we're not rich, rich, rich. We have everything we need, sometimes we get what we want - but we have each other & that's the best part! I have been married 2x & neither of them had much money either - there's not a lot of millionaires into short chunky chix these days, so I settled down with real guys & had two beautiful children with one. I would say YES to this question even if my b/f was rich - it's the person, not the $ for me.

Answer 5

I've dated rich guys and poor guys. It's not about what's in the wallet right now but how motivated the person is to grow their net-worth. A guy may have a nice car, great house and a good job but if he's in debt up to his eyeballs, it only takes one major emergency for everything to come crashing down around you both.

I've seen lots of rags to riches stories and they all have the same story line. Poor guy with lots of potential busts his *** and sacrifices to get rich. I believe that most millionaires look for potential as a key trait in their relationships.

I'd much rather marry a man with potential to be rich than someone who just happened to be rich.

But financial well being isn't just about how much money you have; it's how and what you spend it on.

I require that anyone I get emotionally involved with have a good financial background. My parents divorced over money problems. I plan to never to make that mistake.

Answer 6

No. He wouldn't have to be rich, but if he couldn't pay his own bills, have something set aside for emergencies, and still have a bit left over to enjoy, then I wouldn't date (much less marry) him.

I work for my money...I've worked very hard for it at times, had 2 jobs, been in and out of debt. I'm 42, I'm not looking to support someone, but someone to enjoy life with. If he's of an age I'd consider dating, and had no money, then he's not a good match for me. I could see some 20-something not having money, career hasn't begun, etc...but not a middle aged man.

Answer 7

It would depend really. If he had a reasonable plan for his life, and could hold down a decent job and support me and our children, then Yes I would.

I would not marry a man who expected me to support the family- been there done that, not doing it again. I want to stay home and take care of my kids, I will marry someone who can support that.

I would not marry someone who can't keep a job or has the goal to become the manager at McDonalds.

Answer 8

I did. There have been times when we've teetered on the thin edge of financial disaster, but we've always managed to make it. Thing is, my guy is a great guy. We do have to do without some things, yes, and sometimes there's real fear, but we have each other and love each other and manage all the same.

It's not for everybody, and there are moments when I wish we had better luck with jobs and money, but I've never for one moment regretted marrying the man I love.

Answer 9

Absolutely! I do not marry for money. Matter of fact my fiance was a poor college student with not a dollar to spend the 1st three years of our relationship. I was in a career and I paid for everything. We now have been together 6 years and we still don't have a lot of money and we are as happy as we can possibly be. He is a gem and I wouldn't trade him for nothing. Money would make life easier is some ways but it is not everything. Money only can buy you time.

Answer 10

Well I would marry a man who is an average person with a little bit of money. If I married a rich man it would be hard cause of his personality traits. I go for the man with the nicest personality traits but not by the way he looks.

Answer 11

Yes - im going to next year. My guy got himself into a right pickle with credit cards when he was 17. He was young and foolish and had about 50K worth of debt. When I met him, I helped him sort out his problems. He should have it all paid off in 2 years now. He has completely changed his attitude to money and tries to budget more than me now! He is ambitious and tries hard in his job (police). In two years when his debt is paid we will be a lot better off. We are getting married in July next year (we will be nearly 26 then). Just takes perserverance - for richer, for poorer and all that! I think that a guy should have a job and try and support you as much as he is possible but we all make mistakes x
