[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Online. But I was already top 10% NW for my age and I earn in the top 5% for women.[/quote] I am at 1% NW and 3% income for my age as a woman. Having hard times finding a match by the lifestyle: no interest in going back to cheap sushi places with my date where I wouldn't even invite my friends. How long did it take you online to find a "financial and lifestyle" match?[/quote] Being high NW lowers a woman’s dating prospects. You do sound like a materialistic, big spender.[/quote] You can be a big spender when you earn a lot.[/quote] Yes women do tend to be prone to lifestyle creep.[/quote] What’s a lifestyle creep for some people could be a bare necessity for me. I simply don’t have time to spend half a day grocery shopping on weekends, or repair a poor quality car. I cook very well from high end ingredients at home and only would go for fine dining places once a month for experiences (eg dress up, dine on nice plates something I wouldn’t have time to cook at home). No point for me for cheap takeouts or places as it takes 15 min to fix a dinner on my own. I save a lot still, contributing 60-80k a year into my pension plan, so I am not a big spender relative my income. I consider myself very reasonable just picky about lifestyle choices. I don’t stay at Ritz when I travel but not Holiday Inn either: I rent nice apartments with modern appliances [/quote] And obviously I am not in debt or anything, with over 5 million NW. [/quote] In your situation I’d be okay with marrying someone who made $180-$250K+ with a solid prenup; bc your premarital assets would be protected anyway. [/quote] The issue is not on my side at all! It’s the men I meet out of a sudden become tense about my lifestyle choices, think they shouldn’t be even giving flowers or I should be paying for everything, or I need to scale back to “save” for the future. It’s the class issue that comes up. The hardest test for couples is not poverty: it’s having more money! Particular when men face a woman who’s way higher on the NW ladder. [/quote]
