Any man here pays 100% of the bills? What ballpark do you make?

[Dracko_23]

140k+ with 3 car notes done in the next year. No pressure until i signed up for the last two notes. Now we’re a successful day trader on the side!

Forgot to mention- ATL market

Letting your woman pay

 

[Justise M]

I make just a little over 100k and the past year and half support a family of three with just my income. Spouse lost job, so I got no choice. I am tired of it and might be leaving if she doesn't get some sort of employment very soon. I can make it work but can't really travel world like I could when it was 2 incomes

This ain’t the make a wish foundation. I don’t give a damn if I had Bruce Wayne money, hoe better beat her feet. Not taking care of any chick to sit at home on her ass eating chips and watching Netflix

When I was young and in my simp frame my answer would’ve been different

It’s GMB and HOH baby

These chicks stomped for women’s rights and equality and yall got it. fukk I look like busting my ass and draining my account while you stack money???? Pure insanity. Then they’ll start talking about a “real man”. Better go find one

I did it off $30K late teens, early twenties.

1 vehicle
1 child
2 cell phones
$685 rent

Told her to just go to school full time, let me worry about the expenses. Doing it that way saved money ( child care would’ve been $600/month ) and it was less stress on her, trying to juggle home, work and school.

Now that I’m single, I need to back to living off 30K and stacking/investing the rest.

Was this in 1970?
A 30k income in a 3 person household is below the federal poverty level.

I made 260 last year but I expect to make just under 200 this year. I pay all the bills and child support for 3 young ones.

 

[Ohene]

Don’t really matter how much i make, shorty going to have some skin in the game and cover at least 20% of our expenditures

I offered to cover all the bills once as my ex girlfriend had moved here from France and was taking English lessons. She said she wanted to pay something though so i told her to pay 25% of the rent. She was an exception to the rule because she wasn’t working and left her country to be with me

If you got kids with her leaving would be selfish

At the moment I do because my wife is pregnant and don't need the risk of her travelling for work

If she helped you build it that's something different. This 50/50 argument makes it sound like a majority of women aren't helping building anything. They just want to stay home and do nothing.

Can you explain how being a stay at home mom is hard unless the women are homeschooling?

You sign up to split half of everything unless you have a prenup. Keep that in mind when you deal with women, especially if you have assets you are bringing into the relationship.

You can start the courting with prenup talk so she isn’t sideswiped.

My Wife had more than be before we got married. Everything built, we built together no matter who “paid” for what.

It seems like many relationships start off on the wrong foot and many people have different expectations when it comes to money.

We talked about finances and got on the same page prior to our engagement. We believe all the money is our money and we budget accordingly. We move as one unit under God. It works for us. I don’t judge other family’s budget. Still, it hard for me to understand how a couple can move as one, but worried about who paid for what and if the marriage doesn’t lasts what belongs to who.

As far as being a homemaker, I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. Especially when the children are under five. Maintaining dietary needs, bedtime routine, shopping, cleanliness of the home, behavioral issues, milestones, doctor’s appts, traveling with multiple children anywhere, and doing it without a village. On top of that, you are trying to maintain your sanity while still trying to enjoy quality time with your partner.

To one of your points, when school starts it can become easier but it’s because you don’t have a child hanging on you 16 hours a day. All that stuff still has to get done once they are in school. You just get a little more time to yourself.

I gave my wife that option early on in the marriage before the baby but now with inflation, daycare, car notes, and life.

We both gonna stay working and pack a lunch too.

I'm giving it 2 years to find a job. I met her with a job and didn't agree to marry someone who doesn't work.
