  i think its not how much he EARNS
  but the guy's attitude towards money that makes a difference
  
  I had an ex who earns FAR more than me
  his income is easily 3 times of mine YET
  he totally cannot handle his own money
  he goes into debt regularly
  gambles constantly
  speculates in shares etc despite getting burnt over and over
  during the 3 years plus I was with him
  he have lost a few times in 3 years..what
  my yearly salary would not even accomplish in 3-4 years
  so even though his substantial earning help him to bail out
  of serious trouble
  he never seem to be financially stable
  his friends are all very rich, wine dine lifestyle
  and he will leap from being extremely rich to extremely poor
  up and down up and down
  
  the man i eventually married doesnt earn much
  but he works hard, saves well, spends when he needs to
  down to earth about money and plans his future
  
  I think an amount of realism is needed to prepare for a family
  Money is necessary, money for house, for both, for children when they come
  You don't need a lot of it, but you need enough to keep everyone fed and clothed
  Above and beyond thaT IS GOOD
  but ultimately its the attitude towards money that counts
  not how much of it the person earns.

  Yes. I was wif a guy who earned more than me, way more. He bot me thgs I liked, was gentlemanly, refined, & educated.
  
  Ultimately, the r'ship ended wif tears on both sides, pain, etc. My current guy isn't earning more than me. He spoils me in many other little ways. We're still as happee as ever.
