I’ve zig zagged on this my entire life. But I respect anybody who is able bodied as financially secure if:
- they work a legitimate job (only fans in NOT a legitimate or respectable job)
- they make enough money to cover their basic needs (rent, food, basic necessities, etc.)
- they are not financially dependent on anyone especially tax payer government funded money. Exceptions exist for the legitimately disabled.
- if they have debt they are making best efforts to pay it off themselves. They aren’t looking for bailouts or bankruptcy. They especially aren’t looking for tax payer funded payouts (Biden’s student loan pay off is 100% bs).
- they are making plans to fund their retirement. Putting away money in a 401k and/or paying off a house to live mortgage free in retirement. Depending on social security isn’t going to cut it (too many baby boomers mooched off that anyway).
With all the said there are times in your life where might be dependent on other people. Calamities happen. Not everybody is abled bodied. People do make big financial mistakes in life. I personally made a huge financial mistake a few years ago. Went deep into debt but I have been 100% working my ass off to get out of it. I made no excuses for my bad decision nor do I expect anybody to “save me”. It’s about accountability.
Anyway there is a difference between a hand out vs. a hand up. If you need financial support you need to be actively looking to improve your situation and become independent.

I would say the man has no debt except maybe a mortgage, he pays for his woman for dinners dates, not a sugar daddy but if shit hit the fan he could help her. Can travel regularly, dine out often, not always fancy.
A person being able to supportive themselves without significant help from family, friends, etc. Like, debt is fine as long as the person has the capacity for cover it and still meet their own basic needs. If you're constantly borrowing or a single doctor's appointment or car issue will put your out of your house or make you unable to pay your bills then you're probably not very financially stable. (Students are kind of a different story since most of them are dependent on someone else's money (parents, loans/grants, etc) to some extent anyway, so that's more of a "are you doing what you've agreed with whoever/wherever else you're getting money from to take care of yourself")
Enough income to cover his own basic needs like food, hygiene needs, a roof over his head (whether he owns his house or rents), travel (gas for the car, fee for the bus, etc), power & internet for where he lives, and health costs if he has recurring medical bills. Aswell as some extra spending money, either to put into savings or buy new clothes or go out for food. Aslong as all of that is easily covered, and he doesn’t have to worry about how he’s going to make it through the week, then I would call him financially stable.

That he can sustain himself financially without help from others, and has savings that could help on a rainy day. Wise spending habits is a huge part of it too.
Bonus is if he has enough money to afford a family's living on one income, so he can not only support himself but a wife and kids too.
They live below their means, contribute to savings or debt repayments, and ideally don't live paycheque to paycheque.
They can take care of their life without going into debt.
It's as much about earning as it is financial literacy, budgeting, investment savvy, and saving habits.
It's a holistic financial evaluation, including measuring whether or not they have plans to continue earning as tech, the economy, and industry changes.Financial stability usually means “I can make a frivolous purchase under $500 and not have it effect my savings at all” for me.
For me it’s a man that can provide comfortably for himself and isn’t looking for financial hand outs/borrowing from people around him because he can’t keep up with his finances.
Let me give you some context before I get to my answe. The truth is, humams are like dogs. Some breeds are aggressive, some are more passive. Some hunt for their food, some beg, some steal.
WOMEN have been born and bred, by and large, to be parasitic. And to disguise their parasitic nature by being submissive.
But we have found out via feminism that a woman's submissiveness is like a man's penis. It gets soft and it gets hard depending on the context.
Women WANT to be submissive, just like a man enjoys an erection. But the requirement, long term, is for a man to have enough for her to get a free ride.
Charles Dickens Micawbe sums it up pretty well, “ - Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. - Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery.” (from David Copperfield)
As long as your income is greater than your expenditure then you're " financially stable ".
Not in debt and has saved up enough to live comfortably without having to become a workaholic. He’s not saying things like “I’m not financially stable enough to have kids yet.”
I chose the answer -- 'earn enough money for a woman to not need to work', and if that means going to work every day myself, so she doesn't have to, that's fine with me.
Accidentally voted B while scrolling.
I’d chose other, what Alli39 said.
He isn’t financially reliant on anyone else and doesn’t seek to be so with me. Obviously this means he doesn’t have a crazy or unmanageable amount of debt either but it really isn’t a crazy ask.
To me it means sufficient assets and/or passive income to live at least a decade without any issues.
No debts and a positive net worth it I'm biased because that is me
I'd say no debt, and has an income that can pay for house Bills so I can be home with the kids:)
For me it meant that he paid his bills on time, and wasn’t deeply in debt.
Someone that can support there financial needs without help from anyone
No financial struggles
Enough to sustain himself and be happy with his hobbies/interests.
Fuck... the complete opposite of me right now
He own the toilet to poop
