“If you make 60k & your wife makes 40k, your household income is 60k”

More online fukkery. But yeah there's no point in dating her if she's going to be keeping all her money and making you fit the ball.

You're literally not gaining anything from the relationship other than sex

Not to mention the whole "keep money aside just in case" becomes shytty if you're expecting the man to provide all his money and you're spending none. And they'll be mad if you demand a prenup or paternity test

Anyways congrats @BrothaZay

Agreed, after taxes and a small 401k, that's $1100 or so.

I wouldnt lock myself in, but If she put $1000 towards living expenses, that's $1000/month extra in your pocket.

Then she’ll just ask you for it back to get her hair/nails plus whatever else she want.

Always deal with people on your level or higher.

I will agree with Liza

It's 2024 a two household income is a must. Cant do this separation of money in a marriage. The wife and I have 1 checking account and 1 savings account. She has access to my retirement and all my investments. I have the same access to her stuff also. Hell I manage her portfolio .

As it should be.

I remember this movie trying to paint Malik Yoba out to the be the bad guy for wanting his part of the book money. As if Janet would've let him keep $900,000 to himself if he wrote a best selling book instead Even as a lil nikka, I knew this movie was fugazi for that

Non-married people should really stop speaking on marriage and comparing it to their gfs and bfs and housemates.

Yall don't understand the term spouse

Literally ended things with a girl this week because she insisted a 70/30 split wasn’t fair on her

That's not your wife.

You and your wife don't share finances?

I was thinking about this either yesterday or semana pasado

Either way, what is the benefit of being a man if I have to do everything, plus be > 6’, handsome, alpha 1 while all you (women) have to do is show up. Even then, you want to just lay there while I put in all the work to get you off just so I can get off

(Not saying I let any of this affect my relations, but hoes be trying)

The internet is a resource, not reality

Not married but every relationship I been in she made close to me or higher. I never date under

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I've reached a point where I've realized these conversations really only go down on the internet. There was a point where I used to psyche myself out getting mad at these dumb IG/twitter convos until I started looking at the relationships around me and seeing how none of these rules played out among normal healthy people. All of this "men have to cover EVERYTHING" talk does not happen with any woman who actually likes you

This

Ive never seen a successful marriage work out that way IRL except my grandparents and a few military marriages (that dont count imo).

Men have an obligation to pay…so pay!

 

[Maddmike]

Every white coworker I know got a spouse chipping in on the bills

I feel you bro. And Our disfunctions in relationship matters is broadcast to the world and they laughing at us. Really we look like clowns out here.

How we gone take it to the next level when we can't even get our money right?
