[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But you all are contradicting yourselves. You say money doesn't matter, but then you say...if he made I teacher's salary I'd love him all the same. Well teachers around here make at least, what $50K? More if at a better school and longer in the system. Would you answer be the same if the guy you met was at $15K? Or what if he didn't have a job but was uber ambitious at his volunteer gig? Would that be okay? Because if not, then you DO have some type of salary requirement - it's just lower than someone else's.[/quote]

Having a specific number isn’t the full story.  In the 40-50 years of working salaries can ebb and flow.  You can make a little and have it go far or make a lot and not have a pot to piss in.  Would I date someone that didn’t have a job but was uber ambitious at a volunteer gig? Ony if he met my requirements of supporting himself/not dependent on someone else and having a similar outlook on how we spend/save money.  So the only way that works is if he saved up money from working and this volunteer gig is a springboard for something paid and bigger - like someone at an unpaid internship or unpaid volunteer for a political campaign.

I don’t need a provider, I make good money on my own.  But, I am not comfortable being the provider like guy is moving in, not paying rent, driving my car.  And although my DH made a lot less than me when we met,  he could afford to support himself and was careful with his money.
