"If you make $80,000 you have no business marrying a woman that makes $35,000"

[Commish]

Personally, I don't place emphasis on how much a woman makes, but I do prefer to deal with a woman who have something to lose..

Therefore, a woman may not make as much as me, but if she owns property, has a good paying job or at least a stable income coming in and have other things of importance that she doesn't want to lose, then perhaps she may be more willing to work with me rather than run to the courts when things don't work out..

So, for me, I want someone that is relatively close to my income bracket that way the playing field is leveled...

My mom raised me to marry a woman in my similar circle money wise or career wise. She legit told me if I marry a “bad chick” that works at a KFC drive tru don’t even show up at her funeral.





my mom plays no games and doesn’t support that “men don’t care how much a lady” makes line.


This is my mother talking not my father and she’s actually the bread winner in the family. Mainly because she works 2 good paying jobs

i should point out thats more often the case with a first marriage. alot of people just rush into it when they too young.

My bad, you left the gender portion of your profile blank. Didn't know you were brehettes. nothing against it either way though. if you and her are scissoring each other thats cool too

High dual income is not the only way to build wealth. If a wife is holding down the fort and the kids which gives you the time to concentrate on striking a large business deal you're still building wealth

If a wife is helping renovate or manage properties while you work on the next you're still building wealth

Folks can play different roles so long as they're working towards same goals

Yup, mindset.

Gotta be evenly yoked.

A woman making $35k when you make $50k is fine.

A woman making $35k when you make $135k is problematic. The financial burden will be on you, while she stacks her money on the side. When the gap is big enough, it makes more sense for her to be a stay-at-home wife. Problem is that not all women are cut out for that life. If she's the type that LOVES cooking/baking, cleaning, knitting etc., that's fine. If she's the type that loves shopping, showing off her azz at the gym etc., then you're basically her sugar daddy and should keep it moving.

I don't remember which link i clicked. i google divorce rates. But i noticed they specifically said "first marriages" and made a distinction between divorce rate for people getting into a second marriage

Who runs away with the bag in the divorce

And what he said was solid. The title of the thread is somewhat misleading when the focus is pretty much on the implications.

When it comes to dating salary doesn't matter.

When it comes to marriage, you need to consider the cost of divorce. Still want to go through with it, get a prenup.

You dont need to consider the cost of divorce to get married. If your post divorce finances is part of your wedding planning then marriage isn’t for you.

That’s like not driving a car because you could get seriously injured if you get into an accident.

Or like getting a car insurance because you might get into an accident

If you feel you need to get “insurance” on your money in case of a divorce then dont get married

too many Jada pinkett and will smiths out here and not enough grant hill and Tamia

She's born a few days after me (different years).


But the coli calls astrology hoe science, tho. Pure coincidence.

or do it anyways whether or not you feel the need because why not?

It's actually easier to make an argument for this than car insurance because with car insurance i have to pay a regular fee's despite the fact that i've never been in an accident and likely never will. i'm a good driver and i live in a low traffic area. realistically i'd rather just keep all the insurance money because if i never crash i don 't get it back. To me thats worth the risk of paying it out of pocket if i didn't happen to get in a wreck. A prenup on the other hand require no annual, montly or weekly fee's. its a one time thing that protects you the whole time. If you never get divorced, great nothing is lost , no investment was made.
