Income

Would you look down on your husband if you made more money than him?

[kimpossible]

Nope. Mr. HH and I plan on switching places at about age 40. Hopefully we'll have all the kids we want and I'll be through law school by then, he'll retire and stay home with kids. I'll work full time and concentrate on my career.

[deez nuts]

That's not a bad idea, actually.

[angel nympho]

Nah, it's all good. It's just money. That kind of stuff isn't important as long as everybody is making a decent effort.

[amietron]

yeah, it IS just money. plus, i think it's really really cute when husbands take their kids out. it's attractive. mommy is busy working, so daddy takes on the job as second mommy, going grocery shopping, etc. etc. it makes you go "awwwwwww."

look down on your lover, soul-mate, the person you love most? I think it's ridiculous to even think that... someone like that would only marry a man for his luxury

True bro, but there are women out there who would feel uncomfortable if they made more than their husbands. I've met a few. But to each their own, guess everyone has their own things they look for.

Yes, we can live solely on our love.

Isn't one of the biggest arguments amongst married couples involves money? I lived with my ex-fiancee for close to 1.5 years and seems like that was the main cause of arguments. That and leaving the toilet seat down.

Gotta go with AB, money matters!

Of course money matters because money gets you life stuff and a lot of that is important. Insurance, transportation, food, clothing, protection. I'm not sure money is a panacea for a marriage or relationship that lacks communication or commitment but having a sufficient amount of funds allows you to concentrate on other aspects of life.

Hmm. If I had to say what it is about money that is important, though amount can be important I think shared priorities concerning money is paramount.

[kasia]

maybe it mattered to the guys, but it never mattered to me.

[achtungbaby]

On the whole, money matters as much to women as weight to men.

It matters when you're trying to pay bills, but it most certainly doesn't matter who has more of it. All that matters is that you can make ends meet. My money is his money, and his money is my money. If he has money problems, so do I. It doesn't matter who is making more. As long as he's ambitious and putting his effort out and working up to his potential... instead of settling for a shit job like flipping burgers mindlessly or something.

So I guess it's pretty much agreed upon by the ladies of YW that as long as he isn't a lazy bum, and he puts forth effort in his job that requires at least some skill/brains, the money doesn't matter that much.

Maybe that's just here on YW, though.. cus i know for a frikkin fact that there are a LOT of gold digging chicks out in the world.
