I was just curious to know how many people out there would marry someone that did not have any money.

it is not about the money, it is about his drive in life. is he poor because he does not work at getting a better job? did he get fired? does he not put enough effort into things? Marriage and relationships take work and if he is lazy on some aspects of his life, he might be lazy when it comes to you

That would depend entirely on why he didn't have any money. Is he very young and just starting out in his career? Is he unemployed and not interested in finding a job? Is he irresponsible with money? Does he get hired and fired often? How's his credit history? His attitude toward money says a lot about his character, so you'd have to answer the above questions to figure out whether or not to marry him. I married my husband ten years ago and he didn't have any money, but that was because his former wife had just taken him to the cleaners in their divorce. He is, however, very responsible with money and today we own a house, two cars and have a very healthy savings account. Do you see what I mean?

No thank you, I will not marry a financially broke man, even I am a rich woman. That financially broke man is a big time LAZY.. I don't care if he have a gold phallus,and he can perform like a rabbit. Have his Children ? No way ,Jose..There are a million men on this Earth, that are better than him..

Yes, I don't care about money. Besides, I don't believe it's solely a man's responsibility to support me. How selfish and backward is that? I also have a responsibility to support the two of us. If we're making it, even if we're living in a van (which might be kind of fun really), we're making it.
As for children, I wouldn't have any man's children no matter how much money he had. I think giving birth is a cruelty, but if one must, one must have the funds. At least in this world.

unless u were rich. it wouldn't be a good idea
cuz then u'll probably be in debt. and have to worry about
paying the bills
and how would u even know if he's the one
he might randomly decide to leave u
in middle school. there was this old lady who was 73
when her husband left her.. so she had to go back to teaching
i felt bad for her..
ur love might not last forever anyways
and with kids. that makes it more chaotic..
how would u feed them...right?..
in the long run. the whole thing would probably suck

If someone has no money and nothing to show for any money they have spent, then no. If he is in a dead end job or no job, nothing to show and with no ambitions to do better, then he probably won't ever want to. It's not the actual money that is the issue, it's the motivation. If he was broke for a 'good' reason and wanted better for himself (had a plan), then I would think about it for sure.

I used to believe that the only essential ingredient to a happy and successful marriage was love. Now that I'm older, I don't believe in that anymore. Money is the root of many arguments and furthermore when you are living in poverty, just how much of it do you think you can really handle? If I can't even get myself fed, forget about kids!

If I loved the person, the size of their bank account is unimportant.
I would rather be living in a run-down 2 bedroom house with the man of my dreams , than a 5 bedroom mansion with someone I felt no connection to.

If it was true love, yes. Love is being there for each other and get through the rough times together. Not everyone is finacially successful, but they can work through it. And it's always nice to have someone along to help you. Now children? I'd wait a bit until we were finacially steady and prepared for kids.

I married my husband (twice) and he isn't anywhere near rich. He works his butt off so we can pay our bills. We have very little left over but we have enough to cover what we need. And, we have two kids. We are really happy being just how we are. It is true, money doesn't buy happiness. Love does.
