Lady2163 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Impressive. I aim to save but that sort of ratio is not possible for me... 15% goes on child maintenance, about the same again on rent, then another 10% on utility bills. That's 40% before I've even fed myself or paid for fuel and other essentials, let alone had any play money! No kids, no college debt and I get a military pension. I know everyday how blessed I am, I'm not trying to brag with my ratio. To the person who thought I businessman might be dull. My work is extremely boring for anyone to hear about. I estimate it is less than 10% of my actual conversation with friends and family. I talk about work at work and that is it!
Author NJ123 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Once upon a time Kenny Loggins sang a song that went like this: "even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with you honey." Seems like that sentiment has gone the way of newspapers, the milk delivery guy and pet rocks. Personally, I care about three things: are you a good person, are you intelligent, and do you in fact actually like me? Those three are so rare to find (particularly the last one) that it makes zero sense to worry about income. Just give me someone I actually want to be around everyday and I'll wing it on the rest... Agreed. But I'd like to think in some cases the woman would possibly start to resent the guy if she makes a lot more than he does. I suppose it depends on how the guy feels about it though. A lot of guys would get insecure about a woman making a ****load more money than he does.

A lot of guys would get insecure about a woman making a ****load more money than he does. I'm insecure about a woman's interest in me in general. Income disparity would result in very little marginal increase in that insecurity. Honestly, if I had a girlfriend, I would be supportive of whatever endeavors she chose to embark on in life. I want the people I care about in life to achieve their dreams and accomplish their goals.

Br careful what you wish for...a lot of people initially start off like this until they find out the hard way. Go speak to men that are down and out i.e. lost their home to a woman now shacked up with another guy in their house and bed, whilst they are paying the mortgage Would you not date someone if they were working a low paying job, even though you get along with them really well & find them attractive? Or would you honestly turn them down? I refuse to be hoodwinked by the attractiveness and I'll urge all men to give their heads a shake and pay attention to the "what if" factor...ignore at your own peril. That same cute when the you know what hits the fan, will be the one that comes after you like a wild horse. A friends and mom will also encourage her to take you to the cleaners.

After separating, Lola sought spousal support, but Quebec's Civil Code provides no such provision for couples who are not legally married. Lola had been seeking a $50-million lump-sum payment as well as $56,000 a month from her former spouse — a well-known Quebec business tycoon known in the case as Eric.
