A relationship is 50/50. A man shouldn?t have to pay all of the bills. A lot of women and men are too fucking materialistic and complacent. Jobs are scarce these days to begin with. Quit bitching and complaining and get off your lazy ass and contribute. smh

It's not a lot of money either way. But don't know how things work in the US, over here our wages get taxed by the government. So if you make $1400 before tax you're probably taking home $1100 :dead:

I'm so on the fence because:

A) I definitely believe in taking everything about a man into consideration. Of course there's the initial physical attraction (which is the easiest part obviously) but if you take the possibility of a future together with him seriously, there's so many other things to factor in .

BUT

B) If we were only making 1400 a month I'd be interested to know why.

Is he making so little because he's dedicated his time to helping those in need and doesn't make much profit from it? If that's the case I'd kinda be very impressed with something like that  - as long as he's able to pay his own bills.

And never asks me for one dime, etc.

Ultimately, I'd definitely prefer someone who is comfortable financially though. I'm not checking for ballers or anything. But someone who is just comfortable like I am. It'd just make things a lot simpler and smoother.

But I don't feel a need to hop on Facebook to say, "Broke niggas need not apply! LMAO!!!!"

OKAY! Now we all think certain things in our heads and have certain standards. BUT to blurt this mess out on social media is just plain ignorant.

If this was back in the day, that logic would work but we're in a different time. The cost of living has changed. If a relationship is 50/50 what bills could he pay bringing home $1.4k a month and still be able to take care of his personal necessities?

Make it make sense.

Maybe that person is only working part time. Im sorry but 1400 a month us only acceptable if ur a part time employee while going to school, or if u were gainfully employed and are between jobs and ur just taking what u can get til u get back to ur career. Aside from that, 1400 long term? Hell naw. Especially since I make much more. That'll only cause problems. Ask Phaedra.

Well 1400 a month can also be someone working a Full-time minimum wage job as well. That's why they need to raise the minimum wages to $15. That way people would be able to afford to live.

actually it was less than that but I was actually contributing to the house, paying a cell phone bill or buying groceries every couple weeks

The black unemployment rate in many places is twice or more than the national average, even among degree holders. It gets even worse if you factor in the incarcerated population. The Hispanic population overall (who hasn?t been around as long in this country) has a lower unemployment rate than blacks, and no one seems upset by that. Those are the QTNAs imo.

Girl the average rent listed there is not far off from one another. sdsdsdnsnn

They're both known as expensive cities to live in.

There are definitely places here in America that offer rent at wayyyyy lower rates.


! Yeah London is very expensive.

But ompartively i'd say you get a little more for money here. NY has the some of the smallest living spaces i've ever seen :rudone:

Depends on the situation for me and how long that situation lasts.
My ex made about $1300 -1500 a month when we 1st met 6 years ago and he made it work as a single dude living on his own (idk how but he did lol)
Within a 1.5 years he doubled that and by the 3rd year mark was making like 80k per year.

All he needed was a push to go for that job /position. He?s doing well for himself now.
Can?t just give up on a nigga lol inspire and push him to be greater.

Depends on the situation for me and how long that situation lasts.
My ex made about $1300 -1500 a month when we 1st met 6 years ago and he made it work as a single dude living on his own (idk how but he did lol)
Within a 1.5 years he doubled that and by the 3rd year mark was making like 80k per year.

All he needed was a push to go for that job /position. He?s doing well for himself now.
Can?t just give up on a nigga lol inspire and push him to be greater.

It aint impossible. But I will say that it def aint no way to live. N I dont need no nigga asking me for money every chance they get. 'Cant go out 2nite babe...gotta buy my bus pass at the end of the month'. Or 'So um...u got the bill right? I'll tip a couple bucks tho to help out". Nah. Im way too grown. But if its someone ambitious and u know its a temporary situation, I can live with that for a time.

Lets be real though, 1400 a month can?t pay shit.

where you live also makes a HUGEEEE difference though
