She is the best girl I can ever get.
I am 27years old. I earn only $14/hour.
How will I be able to support her. Take an appartment. Keep her happy. Give her all she wants.
Do you think, with $ 14, its enough for two people .
She says she does not want to work. I said, fine.. do as you feel happy.
Serious reply only
What do I do.

My husband makes $2,068 per month and I am a homemaker. We own our own house have one car and SUV and they are both paid off. We have 2 credit cards that we barely use. WE are NOT in debt and we have been married for 6 years. We are getting ready to start a family so it can be done. We are faithful to God and are very frugal. We don't live extravagantly, I get my clothes at goodwill and I dress very nicely, we have a nice home, with nice furniture, that was bought brand new and we are happy. I take care of our home, clean, do laundry, cook, things like that, I will also take care of the kids when we have some. WE are both happy and that is all that matters, don't listen to what others have to say, just talk about it and do what makes you happy. If you want to do it, you will find a way!!

Well I'm not sure you can raise kids off of $14/hour. I don't understand why she doesn't want to work, a relationship should be more equal than that. If she wants to become a housewife, then maybe she could work a few years while you go to school to better your career??? Once you have a solid career in place, she'll never have to work again! This would also prove that she does love you and is willing to make sacrafices to make this relationship work.... otherwise she is just some freeloader looking for a sucker;) Don't be that sucker, in time you might not feel quite the same way about her.... one can only take so much abuse/freeloading before it gets old.

Start making a plan to make more money. Sit and talk with her about finances. Perhaps the plan can be that she work full time while you go to school part-time so you can get a better paying job. Then she can quit and stay home, have kids. You should both talk about this before you are married. What would happen if you got married and lost your job? She should be willing to contribute too.

Well, you can marry for love, but as far as taking care of her, that isn't going to happen on $14.00 an hour, unless you work a load of overtime... Go to school get your education, fine a better job, then you'll be able to support her, if that is what you wish to do.

It depends upon what kind of a lifestyle you are comfortable with. Make sure that you are both comfortable with what you can afford on $14 an hour.
If both of you are happy with your lifestyle, then it does not matter how much you make. If she expects things that you cannot provide then she is not the girl for you.
Take care,

It depends on where you live but no, I don't think 14/hr would support 2 of you- She should contribute financially to the household, if she's not willing, she's probably not worth your time.

$14/hr can support an apartment and family, you just have to budget well. if you want to get married, then get married, just make sure that she knows if she stays home she can't be shopping al lthe time because the money isn't there.

Red flags dude. You don't make enough to support two people and she's already told you she's lazy. Worse yet you're okay with that. You will resent her later for it. Kick her to the curb.

I'd think about getting another job. She seems awfully selfish considering u have no kids. U will not be able to keep her happy she seems materialistic to me.

id say then dont marry, if you do then things wont get any better, she doesnt want to to contribute to the marriage so why bother with her? you obviously yourself dont seem to be able to provide all on your own.
