I used to be torn on this issue, until I looked at 2 different groups of women in my life

Group 1

My best friend Z (RIP) who had 2 masters degrees and once called me upset because her credit score slipped to 799 lol

My first gf/ex who is in the last year of Med school, comes from a solid 2 parent middle class Home, has a 801 credit score, is super thrifty and would probably buy a Prius for a new car if she was a millionaire lol,

And my cousins fiancé who comes from an upper middle class family from upstate New York, went to Johns Hopkins for undergrad and Is a graduate of Havard Medical school.

All 3 would advocate for splitting bills proportional to income

Group 2

Ex #2 who was a single mom, with no degrees and has never made over 20k annually in her life but feels she should go on vacation abroad and drive luxury vehicles.

Ex # 3 who comes from a broken home, went to school for 6 years but never finished and is now pregnant with a nikkas baby who is 30 but “isn’t ready” to raise a child even though he already has an 11 year old so essentially she is a single mom before the baby even drops.

This group would advocate for their spouse being a “real man” and handling things financially.

When i take a step back and think about it objectively, it’s pretty clear which group of women I’m going to listen to and gravitate towards on this matter.

It’s 2017, as black families we need to be doing everything we can do COLLECTIVELY to establish generational wealth, not try to live by some silly 1960s standard of “traditional” household values.

In a perfect world yes this is true

But can you support an entire family on only one income:patrice:

It's not easy but It needs to be your objective, to make enough to take care of your family.

And cats seem to forget that many women won't accept to be with men who makes as much money as them. In any case, you need to aim high.

And a woman working a regular job is enough. I don't need a go getter/business orientated women. The women might bring something financially, BUT I'm the one who will do the biggest part.

I don't need a woman for money; I need her to make a family.

The only thing I need from her is common sense and family values. I don't care about her diploma, money or career. Those things are not relevant when I'm assessing a woman's value.

This.

As a man you should always be prepared to support your family alone. It’s what we’re wired to do. Im not saying that women shouldn’t have career ambitions but it’s shouldn’t be a negative if they don’t.

So people are really advocate for marrying uneducated bum bytches who work at minimum wage just for the sole purpose to feel like a man :mjlol:
i know, right?

and to answer the question, yes, in her own way that makes her happy. economically speaking is a broader topic. i'd like to provide as much as i can but i realize this system we're set in doesn't really help people strike a balance.
