guys and girls..just read an article about the new female "dragon"...it says that she recommends that wealthy ladies have a prenup contract signed before tying the knot and it reminded me of some of the more careful females in our midst on this site..this is the type of thing i have in mind..ladies who like to be wined and dined...weekends away etc and at least one irish lass who clearly stated that she wanted some one solvent as she was not paying for any man..although one assumes that there are other ladies who have modernised their views on going dutch...how do you ladies feel about the ladies who, to use that old metaphor feel that " whats mine is mine and yours is ours"

No one has the right to anything I have and I feel the same of any man I might get involved with. It makes for an easy break if needed. If prenup is requested, I will have one of my own.
Once my ex wanted me to quit working, so I cut my hours and made less income, after splitting I had to work harder to get were I was before the marriage.

The saying in mine and my b/f household is that what income we earn is ours to which we contribrute to our household.We came to that agreement the day we moved in with one another.There is no what's mine is mine and what his is his kinda thing.Even tho we're not married but living anything of mine is his and what's will be mine.Most of what we have we bought together.

Having someone who is "solvent" is different to wanting someone who is "rich".

Most people, men or women, want someone who can financially support at least themselves.

How you share your income, once a couple is down to individual choice.

No, its totally different.

Solvent means they are able to live independently and at least have the means, albeit basic to support themselves.

Rich means that they have surplus cash.

Solvent is good enough for me; its the man that matters.

No, not me....wink
I can love a man who does not talk about money.
The more money they have the cheaper they are.

I think if a man a woman spilt up then they each should be allowed to keep 100% what was theirs before they met and then split 50:50 the new stuff they created while together.

BINGO! Here in the state of Ohio, USA, I believe anything acquired by an individual prior to a marriage is not considered a marital asset; thus reverting back to the original individual... including cash, stocks, bonds, real estate etc... with some exceptions whereas the other party involved helps maintain any of the aforementioned stuff.

No we are not just playing with words ...

A solvent person is someone who is capable of assuming their own fiancial responsibilities however large or small they are and preferably living within their means (no debts or able to pay them back). It has absolutely nothing to do with wealth.

I agree. My ex used money I made before we married to start his business. He said I'd get it back. When I mentioned it, he said "you have a roof over your head". doh
