Like what income level would you consider a guy for marriage. The mods can turn this into a poll.
A) $30k - 55 k
B) $55k- 80k
C) $80k - 100k
D) $100k - 150k
F) $150k-300k
G) > $300k
H) Idc I’m a strong independent woman that can carry his weight lol.
Also does how much debt he has, earning potential and how wealthy his parents are, factor into this?
Re: Wimenz: How much should a guy make to be taken seriously for marriage?
Be independent and earn enough to sustain a small family. The amount would depend on where we live.
The debt would bother me to the point of refusing the proposal, if he’s paying interest on it. Since I won’t be living off his parents, their wealth or lack of it would be of no interest to me.
Of course this would not be the only factor one considers but your post is specific to money he earns/owes.
Re: Wimenz: How much should a guy make to be taken seriously for marriage?
Forget the income, I would reject you based on your spelling of “women”.
Jokes aside, it depends a lot on where you are based. If you live in silicon valley, 6 figure income is a must for a family to have a house and not live pay check to check but if you live in let’s say Arkansas, you could live ok with somewhere between 35-55k.
Re: Wimenz: How much should a guy make to be taken seriously for marriage?
For me, it wouldn’t. I would be a lot more comfortable without his parents money. It would hurt my ego if he used his parents money on/for me. He is responsible for me, not his parents.
Well, I don’t plan on moving to America, so interest is a deal breaker for me.
Re: Wimenz: How much should a guy make to be taken seriously for marriage?
For me, important thing is that guy is responsible and hard working. Money can come and go.. if you are making less now, you can make more tomorrow if you are hardworking.
Re: Wimenz: How much should a guy make to be taken seriously for marriage?
I agree and disagree…main thing is important to be responsible and hard working/ambitious…but if you aren’t getting results and making more money and increasing your wealth no dad is gona give you his daughter…unless of course the daughter is well off and ‘she don’t need no man..’,
I should probably offer an actual answer instead of snickering at aqua’s post. Amounts do not concern me because I am financial sound. What interests me more is financial responsibility overall (does this person save or blow his pay cheque every week, are his bills paid on time, etc.)
I think girls should look at the potential in a guy, not his current income. A friend of mine proposed a girl, and his family declined because he was making a very meagre amount, but they forgot he was a junior doctor at that time. This same guy ended up becoming a urologist and now earns around ~$500k per annum. The girl ended up marrying a high flying estate agent who later on got busted for running a cocaine empire in London.
