How big a paycheck, or salary isn't important. It's all about money management. If you only make 7.25/h, doesn't matter.. what matters is how you manage your money. If you know how to limit your spending and know the importance of taking care of responsibilities like rent and bills, and trying to put some back.. even if all you can afford to put back is $10 a month, before you spend your money on things you want.. that is an admirable quality, and that's what we want in a partner. Making what you can out of what you have and being responsible about it.
I wouldn't discuss my income with a partner or ask him about his until we want to move in together. Up until that point, it really isn't any of my business what you make, and what you do with it, but I'm going to want to know how responsible you are before making that move. I've been in a situation where I was living with someone, and he blew all his money making it really difficult on me to pay the bills. Once you consider living together, it is important to disclose your financial information to the person you're with for budgeting reasons.
If I'm already dating him, it might make me feel better because I know we'll be financially secure in the future, but it doesn't "increase his appeal." If I'm not already dating him, it doesn't matter to me at all because I'm figuring out if we're compatible and practically everything else is more important than money.
"At what point in a relationship is it a good time to disclose each others income to one another?"
I don't really think it's necessary, you can usually tell by how someone lives. That's the only way it matters anyway, their quality of life.
"How would you feel if your mate didn't want to reveal his/her income until the relationship is close to being documented, so that it wouldn't have in influence on you?"
Well I probably wouldn't ask him to begin with, but if I did, I would be weirded out that he can't just tell me, because I don't see it as a big deal. I guess I would try to explain that it *doesn't* have an influence on me, but if he doesn't believe me because the relationship is new, that's okay. It would just suck that he thinks I might be shallow.
Why is everyone saying money it isn't important? That's the biggest lie in the world. He needs to make enough money so that he can provide for himself at least. If he's flat broke and you expect to live together one day, how will that work? I don't think anyone would want that.. I'm not saying he needs to be richer than me, or he have money swiming in his bank account but it's important that has enough money to provide for himself and live conforably on his own. And I will do the same aswell. If he's still in his twenties, going to Uni and stuggling that's fine though, when you're young you still haven't found your base.
you should check this out, it shows the number of messages men get per week based on their income per year. link

What's important for me is for my man to be motivated- aka have a job or search for one...and I mean...really search. I could date a pizza delivery guy, matters not, as long as he is a good honest man who is trusth worthy and whom I can love.
Dating a rick jerk is a big NO NO for me.
And hey, if my man somehow reveals that he is rich, I wouldn't mind, what woman would? Although I wouldn't like him hiding stuff like that from me, as it shows distrast and disrespect towards who I seem to be .
Now that I think about it, I have no idea how much my boyfriend makes. I know it's more than I make, but I don't think by that much. He knows what I get paid though lol. I don't really feel the need to know how much he makes, as long as he can actually pay his bills. If not, I know that he would loan me money if I needed it, I would want to do the same for him.
I'm far more interested in my own money than a guy's.
For me it does I don't like to say I'm in it for the money but money helps because I don't want to be struggling and poor the rest of my life. I went to college but I'm not very smart so I'm not going to be making much. The guy I'm with now makes a lot for someone his age drives a 50,000 dollar car and I think he wants people to know he has money. I think as long as the guy can take care of himself its OK if he keeps it to himself until things get serious.
It's not really important to me because if I like a guy, I don't really think to consider his paycheck. But it does make a difference about dating. Example, how often you go out, and where you go. I like chilling at parks and at the house and the beach, so it doesn't really make a difference, but if you're a dinner date and movie kind of person it can definitely affect a relationship.
Well, I don't care. I've dated many men, rich and poor. I'm pretty skint myself and that's from renting, bills, studying full time and having two jobs. I know what it's like. When a guy tries to impress me with his salary it just makes me feel awkward because I'm poor.
no, I'm not a gold digger, I plan on getting rich on my own through hard work, not by mooching of rich man
If I really care about the guy and I see he have potiential I can work with that, But every guy I ever dated always let me know up front what they make. If you know the guys occupation , Where he lives, And what he drives . You can figure out the ballpark.
Doesn't matter to me as long as he can support himself
To me none if I like someone I like them 4 who they are not 4 the money
A lot but its only caz I can travel far or get the things I want.I'm not materialistic but I would love to travel outside the U.S
Its a plus because he's stable and can provide but I'm young so I don't really care
