If you could afford to provide for another would you marry a poor person?

Marry poor

[ohsheeT]

I'm not really for sure about your question I provide for a lot of people around me if I see that they need help in some way I help them if I have that capability at that moment if you're asking would I rather marry a rich person or a poor person it has neither to do with any of those I'd rather marry the person that I'm in love with if they're poor they're poor if they're rich they're rich this is the way I look at it there are rich people that are snobs that are just all about them I would not marry that person because they've had everything handed to them there are poor people that have experienced real life by not having they've been hungry they might not have been able to take a shower for a couple days or have the money to put in their gas tank to go someplace or pay their power bill and their power's been turned off that person there knows what it's like to live real life and has made it through it and has adapted now that person is a kind person with a beautiful heart I would be more than tell to marry that person than a rich snobby girl there are rich snobby girls that get an allowance but they still have to work they still have to succeed in life but the poor girl has been through more and has adapted and has fought her way through and knows what it's like to not have like I said I would probably be more until to marry her but it depends on the person on the inside if they have a beautiful heart if they're confident if they're happy if they can smile if they love people if they have become one with themselves that's the person I would want 2 marry

My wife and I were both flat broke when we got married. That was 26 years ago.

How much she has is irrelevant. It's what her spending habits are (is she thrifty like me). What are her goals, how much debt (if any) is she in. This all tells me not just where she is but where she's going. Life isn't fair! It hands some people more lemons than others. But it's how you REACT to those lemons that defines your character.

This is why I'm always amused by the 20 somethings or younger on this site that proudly proclaim, a guy has to make at least 50k a year for me to even consider him". This in itself isn't terrible. But most of these youngins don't consider that life happens. She could marry a guy who makes 100k marry him and a year later he gets sick, is diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and has a 100k in medical bills. I don't want to think most of these women will abandon ship. But the truth is a lot of them probably will. And the role could be reversed she could get sick. But this is why I say CHARACTER is what counts. Money comes and goes jobs are gained and lost. Economies rise and fall. But a person with character is constant.

Majority of "marry rich" relationships are totally imbalanced, one side offers beauty another money. Unfortunately wealth is much more sustainable than beauty, that's why it ends often very sad for one side. Especially in countries without alimony and where children are always primary inheritors.

[letuswaltzforthedead]

It depends why the person is poor. I have no interest in marrying someone financially irresponsible nor do I want to marry someone who "poor" is the best they can do. On the other hand, I'm still picking poor since I dont think having my partner work all the time or make the sacrifices needed to be rich would fit.

Either way, there are a lot more things that make a couple. Money is important but it isn't the end all be all of relationships.

[Vanidal]

I won't marry a poor person. But I may marry a person who once rich and went poor. Background research is needed about this. But that will take my time.

Marrying a poor person has the risk of losing my own fortune. Still, need to know how that person ended up poor. That person is my risk related to financial issue. If I marry a rich person, I would try to get more or at least balanced about financial issues. I'm the risk related to financial issue.

[Sandeeppingping]

My girlfriend is richer than I am, by far, I'm 20 she's 21, so it's basically mostly her parents money while I just traveled for a year and worked like a mad man and now I'm much better financially, but if she had 0$ and was homeless and then I saw her on the street, as long as she looks good and isn't dumb, she'd have been my girlfriend the exact same way

[HighValue]

How about not get married at all and just live together? I could still have an exclusive LTR, raise a family together, etc. without being legally married and risking someone stealing from me.

Even if she makes more money than me, that doesn't mean she won't quit her job after getting married to use me for money and then get divorced to steal from me.

[RavVid]

I don't think men care that much about what a girl brings financially. We look for other things from her.

If she is not happy with what we bring financially then there is a major problem. I have seen men pushed into bigger and bigger mortgages for bigger and bigger houses.

[bobthe1st]

Yes but depends if I could trust her, I've spent a lot of years very poor working on my future and can see what that's like with romance... if I achieve my goals in life I would always question her affection, but yes if she had a good soul and was the kind of girl I'm into.

[southernqueen617]

I would marry for love not money. Money can come and go while true love stays

[Rania05]

If I'm really rich I'd marry someone who has less than me. The confidence in superior economic source to one's spouse is reassuring after all.

[Topaz1979]

I would marry a poor man happily even if we were compatible and If he had good qualities that I could learn from.

[jamesgoldman]

No, poor people are generally terrible spenders and utterly uneducated financially and I can't even deal with the in friends and associates I see occasionally let alone a marital partner

[Avicenna]

If she didn't have kids, didn't have huge debts and met my other marriage criteria, yes, especially if she wanted to have a family.

[KittyBox]

If I liked the person, and had interests I could share with them, it wouldn't matter if they were poor or rich, their background doesn't make a difference.

[maximumpower]

Depends upon what made her poor.
If poor by birth/family standing - something she cannot help - then maybe; however, I would refused to support her family.
If poor by virtue of bad decisions or stupidity, then definitely not.

[DizzyDesii]

If he fine af, on the hunt for a better paying job and wants kid when i’m ready, probably

[melnc]

Most of the answers here yes
In reality...
NOPE
NAH
NAY

[OlderThanILook]

Nah, I'm not marrying at all. Especially if I start making more than I already do.

[SenseiSeptred]

It is against my social caste layer to talk about money, and a partner of mine would be of the same upbringing because they know that it is against our layer as well even for here in America.

[freewife]

Your loss

[SenseiSeptred]

No, that is a complete gain. People will think that I am among the heimin social caste layer if I talk about such a subject. Heimin means peasant by the way.

[freewife]

It's the 21st century, not the 17th. But each to their own I guess, So much for human progress.

[SenseiSeptred]

What I mentioned is relevant no matter the century.

[ConspiracyTheorist]

I would marry the person I loved regardless of financial status
