[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 47 divorced 2 years. I am very attractive good hobbies great job that I love and most importantly 2 beautiful.kids that I love so much.

However I am broke and this has honestly kept me from dating. Between child support, saving for college, emergency fund and retirement while I am not paycheck to paycheck for most women in the DMV I am sure they won't come anywhere near me. Women dl often say they have their own and don't need yours and I believe them. However it doesn't mean they are open to date a man who is barely making it.

I could be wrong. But I don't even want the discussion to come up so for now I just won't date.[/quote]

Do you foresee any point when you won’t be barely making it? If it’s like this in your late 40s, what would improve?[/quote]

My financial picture since my divorce has certainly improved. However savings for college and retirement do take a big chunk of my paycheck. And I am making that a priority. I understand some men in their 40s are doing better and good for them. I am not one of them. [/quote]

Have you tried side hustle? I'm a foreign born immigrant woman with children. When I hear something like that from men I wonder how even I was able to save a large retirement nest by my mid 40s. Sometimes people would airbnb their homes; CPAs would take extra work etc. When someone US-born without language barrier is close to their 50s didn't achieve same financial milestones as myself, I always wonder if that person is driven enough for me to respect them.[/quote]
