There's No Romance without Finance!

I am totally agreeing with this article! A man has to have his finances in order and be able to prove it as well as I can. he doesn't have to make as much as I do, but he does have to have a plan for his future and not be knee deep in debt. I can be poor all by myself, but I certainly won't have someone living off all that I have worked for these past 20 years. Thanks for a great article!

well i know from experience that having a hobby can be expensive. i know that we buy into all or most of the advertisements that we see on television today and that costs money. lets face it, how can you save when everywhere you look it says to spend ?

Yes I do think being financially stable is a big part of any relationship. No you don't have to have expensive hobbies, but it is nice to be able to share a nice weekend getaway on the spur of the moment.

Sure we all should know that money is important. The point is how would 2 people adjust to hard times. Probably not very well. If you can't keep a vow then don't make them.

I\'m one of those people that lets money make them, but is trying very hard to make money instead. I make a lot of money, but I spend a lot of money too, and like the article said, that doesn\'t leave a lot of room for romance.

well, the must important thing is having this money, and be able to manage it.I think money means nothing when it comes to true love

im sorry, but money is what makes the world go around.

Yeah, your arcticle is correct but you don't have to sail in millions for the relationship to work.Its a matter of priorities and stability.

I haven't read this article, cos i haven't got the time at the moment, will have to come back to read it. But whatever it says, money can't buy me love or hapiness. It's speaking from experience, nothing else....

Fantastic article, and great food for thought. Thanks!

I just finished talking to a financial advisor about my taxes and he said if you just put away $50 a month in savings - it can really add up to significant savings. Just a thought . . .

Hmmm grudgingly agree this article makes good common sense - but I say spend spend spend - u can't take it with ya when ya gone. Life can be tough enough without a few luxuries!!

happiness is never found in an emty hole,i fell for some contributions here.best is to go ahead with the essencials.

I totally agree with this article. It makes some valid points about having your finances in order.

Love, like most things worth having, isn't free.

Yes, it does take both people in a relationship to manage their money together.

sad to say, but its true.

I agree Pleasjure13. What I want to know is when the marriage is over, will I be able to take care of myself and my child, and still have money for future endeavors like college and retirement? Yes! Look at how many women are devastated by divorce and can\'t take care of themselves and their families. If those women had planned for that, there would not be so many struggling single parents out there. Trust me, I know...I was one of them a few years ago!

good article...again...gonna whip out my beatles-cd collection and listen to their songs!!!

i agree i recentlt met some one online and i got the impression she was more interested in what i earned wich is shallow soon as we met and she asked what i did sge seemed not to be interested she was more into financial stability than love shame really
