Is money important in being in a relationship?

[Anonymous]

Yes it is!

No, me and my partner can be poor and hungry with bodies that dont function well!

Hmmm.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

Well, to an extent.


It’s important to at least have some money to be able to afford living… Obviously, being able to afford money, clothes, and all the necessities. I think, if you can’t afford the necessities, then that should be a main priority at the moment, because not being able to afford anything PLUS managing a relationship can be difficult and cause issues - My experience.


Having some money saved, and being able to afford necessities while also living slightly comfortably… It definitely eases the relationship. There isn’t constant arguments about who’s paying the bills this month, who’s not making enough money, etc etc. there's just lots of difficulties if one or both partners are low income or have no income.

Life has expenses, so of course money is important. It's just not nearly as important as some people think.

Look at all of the wealthy people who divorce or break up. Having lots of money and being able to afford nice homes and cars and vacations didn't save them from being unhappy with each other.

It's important to earn enough money to have a decent life and to save for retirement, and you don't want a partner who is lazy, entitled, or lacks motivation - those are the important characteristics - but actual incomes can vary a lot, because situations change. Rich can become poor and vice versa - but people who are responsibly wise and who have a good work ethic will almost always roll with the punches and do OK.

Likewise, those overly focused on money are often never happy and frequently end up alone.

I think it is important that both people have the same attitude about money. To some people it is more important than others.

Money is important for life. Lots of money is not necessary, but enough money is.

A couple ought to have enough to properly house, clothe, feed themselves, and provide for basic needs. Ideally with enough to also be able to save for retirement and be able to do an occasional fun activity.

If the cost of living is approximately 40K/year for example, then it's important that the couple have at least 40K/year. But it's not necessary or important to have like 200K, if that makes sense.

Yes and no. Money isn't the end all be all. However, you need money to do certain things like travel, watch movies, eat, etc. I don't need a partner that makes more than me so long as he does his part to keep our roof over our heads. Currently, I make almost twice as much as my boyfriend. It's never made me think any less. And I make an effort not to let it get to my head (in an egotistical kind of way)

Depends on the type of person you attracted to your life-

>If you are rich you can spoil your spouse with expensive stuff and travel everywhere and make memories together

BUT

>If you caught hold of an amazing significant other that person will be there in your bad times and the two of you can work together to make things better.

So... It can work either way if the conditions are right.
