It is the thought that counts, not the cost.
If my guy was only earning $6.75 an hour then I wouldn't expect overtime all the time just to buy me things - but obvioulsy it may be necessary even for a simple $20 gift as minimum wage is not much to love on. If my guy earned the $11.25 - then I guess it would be his choice is he wanted more money and thus overtime.
You seem to be trying to ask a status question here - What someone earns does not matter to me as long as we both had enough to support ourselves and be happy.

It doesn't matter what a guy's salary is, a gift is a gift. Because one has to work harder to buy the same gift doesn't make it more special. The guy making 6.75 could have paid more attention in school, gotten an education and could be working in an office too, but it looks like he didn't care enough about his future to put any effort into his schooling. So I probably wouldn't date that guy anyway.

I'd let the burger guy know that spending time with him is more important to me then the gift. The overtime is taking away from our time together. It would make me uncomfortable knowing that he felt he had to give me a gift to win my affection. That goes for burger guy or office guy.

The gift that means something is the one that comes from the heart. It could be a hand written letter or some wild flowers picked from the roadside. It does not matter how much the guy earns but what is in his heart.
If the girl needs money spent on her in order to like the guy, she is just using him.

It would mean a lot to me that the man worked extra to get me a gift. He certainly could have done better with his time and money, but he chose to do that. How awsome!

I wouldn't care if a guy picked up poop for a living. As long as I love someone, I don't care what they do. Money isn't everything. It's what on the inside that counts and it is sad to see how many people really forget the things that really matter.

Why does it have to be about buying gifts? It should be about the guys and who she truely likes. The jobs and money are not the main issue.

Forget the overtime, just start selling drugs. You'll earn more, and you won't be hampered by your lack of education and grammar skills. Plus, after you get shot by the police or rival drug dealers, the chicks will be all over you (chicks dig scars, right?).
