This is a topic I see being discussed by one of my friends on Facebook today, and some of the people are Crazy in some of the ways they have answered this, and I wonder what thoughts and opinions are on this one here.
Personally, I am like why should $$ be a decision maker whether to Marry someone or not? I could see if the person was living at home and you were unsure if they knew how to provide or would you have to live with their Mom, but if they have their own place $$ should never be an issue.
Depending where you live it could be hard to make it on $15 an hr, but we have done it, and it is possible. Many times you might have to be creative and find other ways to bring in some extra income but if you Love someone you are willing to do what it takes to survive and nothing should get in the way.

Jobs are hard to get full time around here even though in Seattlevthat is minimum wage. And $30:an hr between 2 people just barely makes it around here

Some men don't want their wife to work, outside the home. This is another personal viewpoint.

Here in the Seattle area it takes more than that now but many people forget to live within their means and make it work if they have too

@LadyDuck That is for sure. I know people who never cook at home and would starve if they really got sick as there would be nothing to eat.

@KrauseHome The problem is that people want to spend more than what they make. Young people want to eat out every day, this costs at least 3 times more than cooking at home.

@KrauseHome I think so. Love is more important than money.

I probably wouldn't marry solely for money but if I loved a man and he was rich I would like that very much

Marrying for $$ is not a good thing. It should always be about Love, but I agree I would not complain if somehow we were able to come into more $$ due to being self employed or he was to get promoted again or a better job, etc

I thought they should marry because they're mature and love each other regardless of the job.

As sad as it is, for plenty of people money is one of the key factors in deciding whether to marry someone or not. Some want financial stability. Some want material things and lots of them. And some people don't work so they want to make sure the person they marry will be able to provide for them. I wouldn't never marry for money. And I didn't. My husband's salary is commission so I never know how much money he will make on a weekly basis.

More people need to step back and look at life from a different angle and enjoy life. Money is never everything, and what happens if you loose it due to a Job loss or Health issue? Much broader skills are taught the way your husband does it

its basically "would you marry for money or love?" true what you say about how that money can be easy to live off in some areas but difficult in others. so you better be truly in love, because when or if hard times hit, thats all youre gonna have to help you get through.

So true... And that is one of the biggest reasons for divorce. Yes, you do need money to keep an apt or home, etc but it is not the only thing in life that matters

@KrauseHome - california is a difficult state to live in and budget for. once you think you have a plan to "get by" (notice i didnt say "live on") the state lawmakers come up with some new tax. or other piece of legislation that screws with working people.

My next husband will be wealthy and already settled with homes and cars.
But if you are a younger person $3600 + a month is okay if you save half for old age.

Interesting, I know it is hard to live off $15 an hr but i know many elderly couples who would die for that much a month

Well...I would not marry a man since I am...well, a man. lol. That being said, I agree with you that it is silly to make such a decision based solely on income. The better question is does that man who makes $15 an hour know how to manage his money? Or not? I knew a lawyer who was broke. Made $90,000 a year and his wife made $60,000 as a school administrator. They were BROKE. Another man I knew started out at Burger King making minimum wage, managed his money, invested his money, moved up in the system, and owned 16 stores and was a millionaire. It is not how much you make. It is what you DO with what you make.

@arunima25 Preferably what you do with what you make. It's so much more fun to spend dividends than wages.

I guess that would depend on his/her partner. Part of the marriage vows we have this for "richer and poorer" kind of promise to your partner. This just means money should not interfere in marriage for as long as both partners are aware what each can contribute to the partnership.

@KrauseHome yeah there are few I know that still stand by the vows they maid when they got married. Some go into marriage for the wrong reason like money as security and when money is gone marriage is gone as well.

Money is not a good thing to base a relationship on. Anyone who is basing a relationship on money is bound to fail at that relationship.

@KrauseHome There is always going to be rough times no matter where you are or who you are. If money is the factor, to begin with the marriage is doomed.

I guess I would be asking How much are you making an hour? Seriously is that the way to pick the person you will spend your life with? Money does not make you happy. I think there are many other questions to ask other than this one.

Like someone mentioned here as well, it is about learning to spend within your means. Money will never make you Happy. I have seen people who make $100.000 a yr who are always broke and miserable

Look at the divorce rate among celebrities and athletes. Money does not guarantee a happy marriage. Nor does a prenuptual agreement.
