LOVE OR MONEY? Is a man who makes less money than you off limits? by Matchmaking Duo
Don’t let the paycheck fool you - A man who makes 6 figures and up, depending on where he lives in the country, his spending habits, expenses, and outlook on money can be more broke than a man who makes $50k, is generous, and knows how to manage his finances. So don’t just stop at the amount you see coming in. It’s more about what happens from there that speaks to how much he has to work with and the amount he can contribute. Just remember the more money he makes, the more bills he has.
Does he have “grindability”? – That’s right, this technically is not a real word. But you get our drift. Have you ever known a man who once had it all; a great job, house, cars, etc. then was suddenly downsized or let go and since the job was his entire identity, he was totally lost? The point here is, whether he makes a lot of money or not as much, it’s so important to assess his ability to bounce back and rebound when unexpected life circumstances come his way. For some men, it doesn’t matter if he’s at his job today or let go tomorrow, he will always make it happen and rise to the top.
What is important to you in a relationship? – For some, it may be that he has the ability to travel the world with you or represent you well with interesting conversations at work functions or maybe just look good in a suit on your arm. For others, having someone who loves you unconditionally, takes the lead, and a God-fearing man who puts family first may be at the top of your list. There is no wrong answer here but see where his salary fits into the equation.
He can still take the lead if you allow him to - If you want a traditional relationship where the man takes the lead (yes some women still do), it’s still possible if you make more money than he does. But it’s all in your posture and whether YOU can allow him the opportunity. Women who have had successful relationships with this model have said that they make it point to give him verbal praise for his contribution and also consider their man’s opinion when they make large purchasing decisions, etc.
Our ultimate goal is to encourage you to have these discussions with yourself first even as you await your new Beau or even if you’re married to someone who makes less to evaluate where you stand and what’s truly important to you. Something to ponder…
We’re Rooting for You…Here’s to LOVE!
