This country really does disincentivize marriage #GMB

[OfTheCross]

All I know is if you want to max out your lifetime earnings and lifespan --- you should probably get married.

I wouldn't make important life decisions based on outliers. Yeah some dudes can max out their potential and live a long life as a bachelor. But most brothas won't. A wife and children motivate people to unlock potential they didn't know they had.

Most dudes promoting GMB probably can't compete with other men to get the wifey material chicks so they devote their life to an online movement against marriage.

No one is saying not to have a mate. Just not to get married.

Are you trying to keep your women on WIC?

We get that too

 

[Who Not How]

You’re implying that broke men should get married and make babies purely for monetary motivation? They’d be fools and the women willing to sign up for that would be even bigger fools.

Nah. Women seek out and prefer well off men or men with the potential to be well off. That is why well of men tend to be married. It’s not the other way around. Men with money have the best options.

1. Where did I say make babies? You are already being intellectually dishonest because you couldn't give a good rebuttal. Some brothas would rather have multiple baby mamas in different areas and live that struggle life I guess.

2. You don't gotta be well off in America to get married. A married couple can grind and increase their household income then start a family. A young man can go to school, learn a trade or join the military and be financially stable enough to get married by early 30s.

3. Again, sounds like the GMB crowd simply cannot compete with men who know how to interact and spit game to women. Instead they talk about how terrible American women are so they fly to Sousa, DR to pay for the wifey experience they don't qualify for in the states.

Can't speak for others but...

Since getting married (10 years ago), my household (and personal) net worth has increased exponentially every year.

Doesn't hurt that I married an equally-yoked lady who shares the same financial principles as I.

Free or highly subsidized:

Child care
Food
Healthcare
Rent.

Just few examples...

You get those when married as well.​

Bruh, why you messing with women on welfare?

Bruh, keeping it 100. If you out here not only looking for women so poor they qualify for free food, housing, and childcare but consider it a benefit to the relationship you aren’t marriage material no matter what income bracket you sitting in.


My pops had a renovation business back in the day and we would go fix up section 8 housing before new tenants moved in. There were plenty of sorry ass men laying up in them free apartments trying not to get caught by the city and get the girl kicked out. Dad made sure to instill in me that those were not the type of men who bear our last name.

How y'all married couples do it, man?

As soon as you sign that paper you lose out on a bunch of income-based benefits. Especially if you got kids. shyt will have you struggling fr.

Shackin is the wave...

Actually married people get all kinds of tax code and childcare benefits

How do people qualify for those when the income limits are so low?

DIV Contents

The most a 2 parent household with 1 child can earn is $46K a year to get child care in NC.

Regular people aren't that poor, but still need/want/could use the assistance

Not really. You get the same shyt being single.

 

[kronix]

The brokest men in my family aren't married. The most successful men in my family are married so I think I will follow what they doing.

By that logic the wealthiest man in the world is not married so why bother?

 

[BlackJesus]

Not really. You get the same shyt being single.

In my state right now married couple filers with children will receive an extra $1000 sent by check this year. I might get $350 as a single filer. So no.

Look at it like this...

Married couple making 30k each in NC would not qualify for help with day care or anything else.

Together lets say they're brining in $4000 a month after taxes and all that.

Rent is $2000.

Car is $500 including insurance.

Food is $400 including eating out

Daycare is $600 a month...

That leaves $500 for all the other bills. They broke, breh. And as a married couple, they don't qualify for shyt.

are you filing with a child?

SSI/SSD = Auto-qualify regardless of income.

That's just one criteria.​

I feel that. I'm moreso questioning the value of marriage for regular fully functional adults.
