My girlfriend who I've been with for 2 years is poor, although she's going to college, she lives in a single family home with 2 brothers and her mom who's now unable to work. She does all the house work and drives everyone around while also helping her stepmother work.
We're long distance so I can't do a ton to help her from here but things are moving, we're both trying to decide whether it's best if I move over there, she moves to me or we both leave our areas and settle elsewhere. My goal is to move her in with me and take law school here.
I work 50 hours a week but it doesn't pay much, however I do help her when she needs it as her ability to make money is severely diminished by her packed schedule. I'm starting a career and hopefully I'll be in within a year and be making more than double what I am now and working a lot less hours.
That's my long way of saying I don't place being rich high on my priorities as I don't seek financial security with someone else, I seek a real love connection and I found that with her. Of course for us both to be rich would be great but that's not going to happen anytime soon, she needs to finish college and i need to start my career which is projected to net me $126,000 per year after taxes 10 years from now.
Her career selection as a lawyer will bring her a lot of money as well. She hasn't been money hungry with me either as I told her last year about when my card was declined because I had a financial rut and some in the past few months and her reaction, or lack thereof was heartwarming.
Me and her aren't well off now but we will be in the future as we both invest time, money and energy into a financially secure future together. I'll even be able to afford her law school tuition when she finishes college next year and I look forward to it😊
She’s going to be gone a lot for law school and even more fir her lawyer job. They make the big bucks because a 70 hour week is considered light duty for a lawyer. Just want you to be aware of that. Good luck to both of you, I am so impressed by your lack of concern for money.
No if I like you then money isn't an issue. As long as you aren't a bum who isn't putting effort in to better themselves or relying on me to pay for everything..
