My boyfriend doesn't have much money and hardly to afford to buying a house or something like that. Some of of friends asked me to think over a lot about whether being together with him. However, I love him and I want to be with him forever. I hope we will try our best to create our happiness. Money is not that important. Do you agree with me?

my boyfriend is the one working right now and he makes enough to pay the bills and have a bit extra. We are happy though with our little apartment.

I insist that love and marriage are two different things. I don't mean that girls must be marry with some rich guys. Love is love. People in love often cannot think about too much things such as money you mentioned.People who are in love alway think they can handle all things well and figure all problems out if they really love each other. But the fact is that once you two guys get married, you may quarrel about the living standard. Or you may find you cannot bear his bad temper.The most frequent thing is, once you really live with him for a long time, you may find many of his bad habits or just the living habits of you two are so different. So, love is love;marriage is marriage. If you two really love each other, money is not the problem of course. But you two should have this common sense before you two get married. That is: you don't care about he is rich or poor,you won't fight with him on this point one day, never.

yeah... i quite agree with you... but not all the point... still the family economic is the important... as long as you can get food, house, etc.. i am not said you need to buy a LCD 62 Inch.. just important thing come first.... here many couple has divorce or wife kill husband or husband kill wife because of economic problem... and the worst is... mother kill son because she can't see the future of the her son with the hard economic...

Will you fall in love with a boy who doesn't have much money? Hi there, well the first question that I would have to ask you is this? Does he have the means to be able to get a job and make some money. If he is cripple or if he has some kind of debilitating disease which would prevent him from working and from being able to make an honest living then my answer would be no. I probably wouldn't marry him. Even if he was the best lover on earth. Some people try to fool their selves into thinking that money isn't very important but believe you me, when it's time for the rent to be due, you will wished that you had not of married him if he's broke and can't pay the rent.

I would never be friends with someone that is shallow enough to think someone isn't worthy of a relationship just because they don't have money. Only a bad person would choose not to be with someone they care for just because that person is poor. Money will never give a person character or a soul. I have been both wealthy and poor and I was the same person in both instances. I would go for the guy and dump your crummy friends. Money should never ever ever be that important. Vanity is a terrible thing.

well... if me.. my wife come from not a rich family... but what i am looking from her is.. she can understand me.. and the important thing is... she can work.... so i think if your boyfriend is a hardworker.. I think money is not a problem... and you can work too, don't you? we can search for money to buy anything.. but for the one we LOVE... we hard to find it..

For the one we love,we hard to find it. It is quite right. Now I can sure that I love him and will go with him.

I would not let if a guy has money or not decide if I would date him. I think attitude and personality matter more. I never worried about that because I think that it is up to me to make my own way in life and should not need to have someone else have the money.

Money is important because its a means of exchange to buy our basic needs. I want to be a man who can afford enough things in life.

Your thinkings is better than the realism,some words are easier said than done,it is not only you face this problem,most of us maybe face it.In my opinion,sensation is more than important than anything else,but it is also based on the economic condition,when face the realism difficulties,the love turns so flimsiness,and we have to think over it carefully.Money is not omnipotent,but without it,we can't do anything well.

We can't deny the fact that nowadays we should be practical enough. Let's say that you really both love each other. But can your intimate love provide you with all those things you needed when you have finally decided to live with each other? Can you meet all life's expectations? Can you handle the pressure facing the reality of what life really means? Does he have plans to get his life into a better shape? Does he strive hard to earn even a certain amount of money? Well, if yes, maybe it's not that bad being together with him. As long as you can live your family with the combined forces of your hardwork.

well, i think the answer is absolutely yes. firstly, why don't you ask youself whether a handsome rich man would like to mary you. or what if a rich man but you don't like loves you, will you mary him? secondly, i always have the thought that if you haven't gone through much together, the love between you is never stable enough. there is only ture love when you really get in trouble. am i right? Thirdly, I think the most important, do you think you will get too much fun when you go with your love to fight for the future? The point is whether he has a lot of money doesn't matter much, does the man has an good heart? does you love him, does he love you? that's the ture thing you have to think carefully about.

I most certainly agree with you. Money is important but who would trade money for happiness? I am in a same type of relationship and I don't care that he has no money. I believe in creating my own possibilities and everything else that I need out of life. And with that belief, I know that everything, including money is coming, whether or not my partner has any. As for the friends, I know they always want what is best for us and I love them for it; however, when it comes to my happiness, I feel that I am in charge of my decisions and if they are real friends, they will encourage me regardless of what the outcome is.

yes your correct that money is not important. although right now he cant afford to buy one but maybe someday he can buy a house for you and for the meantime if your both parents offer you to stay in their house you can stay with them, the most important is that you can eat 3 times a day and of course you will help him to save money for your future family.

Well,if you can keep this mentality throughout your life,then it will be nice and you both will lead a happy life.But to me,it is the girl's comparison to neighbours starts many family quarells.in more families.If you can live comfortably with his earnings,go ahead,a nice feature is awaiting you.Cheers!

I feel money is not everything but money does play a role in our lives.Is your boyfriend capable enough to takecare of you and your needs along with his? forget about you and your needs atleast can he takecare of himself. May not be now but atleast do you see that he can takecare of himself in the future.because when things get practical many ups and downs will come in our ways and we have to be strong enough to face all those ,love alone cannot buy us food and clothes.I dont say leave him or anything but encourage him or help him out in earning money. I also know that love is blind but be responsible for that love as well.

I agree with you 100% go for the love. Money is for sure not everything. I would never marry for money like some females would. If you truly love him and your happy with him and he feels the same towards you don't listen to your friends.

money is not the key to happiness. if anyone thinks that then you are on a long road of destruction. if you have love then that is all that matters. money is made and spent but love is forever. Sure it would be nice to be with someone who makes money and you are in love with them, but lets think rationally right now. its a recession and no one is going to be happy looking for just money alone. if he treats u like the woman u are and loves you. screw money :]
