I would be glad to listen to your opinion !

It was never an issue for me. I like men who know what they want and are equally driven as I am, they had their income as I had mine.
I wouldn't want to be financially dependend on someone BTW.

Lots of marriages have broken down because of problems with money, or it has been a contributing factor. A couple needs to have the same perspective on money to get along. A friend of mine's marriage was destroyed by her husband's gambling and ruining them financially. How much money the couple makes together or individually, how they spend it and save it and value it needs to be compatible for them to get along. It's not the only factor that is important, of course, but it is important.I would be glad to listen to your opinion !

To me money means nothing as long the person is good. Money doesn't always makes you happy, just the simple things in life.

I prefer to be independent and don't let money become a problem in a relationship. That keeps me on equal ground with him. 50 years ago the man was expected to pay for dinner and the movie and parking and drinks after the movie. Now it's 50/50. It doesn't make a relationship cozy but relationships don't last long anymore so it's better to treat it as a friendship.

Would you be ready to get involved in a relationship with a man that has financial problems not because he is a gambler or something but has working problems due to the economic crisis ?

That's a really good question and a fair one.
If I was a young woman, maybe with a child, or at child bearing age, I would think twice about getting involved with someone who has lost his job or on the verge of losing his job. It's not his fault but if she's in a stable environment now why would she put her family in dire straits. At my age, it doesn't matter because I wouldn't depend him on financially.

just enough is ok for me as long as my dear partner can talk and plan what we gonna do about what we have! sharing is important too in a relationship and just be happy of having simple life....so money is not an issue!!!

So many people say that money isn't an issue, that it shouldn't be an issue, bla bla... until they run out of money or their spouse gets them into serious trouble (debt/gambling/overspending, etc.) or some unforeseen disaster happens (hurricane/illness) and watch it become the "be-all-end-all" very quickly.
Should money rule everything? No, but it does.
As to dating someone in financial trouble - up until 2 years ago, I would have said, yes, sure but I've since then changed my mind.

Exactly
When I had to bail out a family member and became almost broke myself, you couldn't see my ex-wife for dust, yet she had always said money was not important, love was the most important.

Yes, why not. I don't need him for money. I'm independent. And maybe somehow give him some encouragement in finding work.Just because he is in financial times does mean he won't get out of it or that he isn't a good person.

When you truly do love someone, and are comitted to them, money really doesn't matter, period.

I've been through a similar experience, taking care of my Mom, and I'd never trade it for anything or anyone in the world. I almost lost everything, and still have debts as a result, but I have no regrets, absolutely none at all.
After reading innumerous threads and posts on similar topics, and related relationship matters, I get the feeling most people have no idea of what commitment, honour, responsibility, and dedication actually mean.
Where is your heart, where is your soul, what really matters to you?

I wouldn't care if a man had nothing as long as he is a good person, love is hard to find. genuine love.------ This thread is Archived ------

No of course not. Money is a fairly recent invention in historic terms, perhaps 2,800 years old. Obviously people had love and relationships before then.

While I was married I used to work a lot of hours everyday to be able to make more money. My ex wife was complaining about that situation and I used to say we need the money (my ex wife was a staying at home mom) and she also used to say money is not important but love is more important.
Five years ago she divorced me and after the divorce asked me to help her financially..does this makes any sense ?

Without knowing any details, I guess she was sad and lonely that you weren't as much a part of the family as she would of liked. From what you say, she tried to communicate to you that she would have preferred to have been financially poorer, but emotionally richer.
If you're with someone, you take their needs into consideration. It can be a very lonely situation taking someone's needs into consideration, altering your behaviour to accommodate them, but they're never there, or only appear when they have catered for their own needs (in your case, earning the money you thought you needed, but she didn't want instead of you). After a while, it gets to the point where you stop begging for a loving family life and leave.
If your children live with her, you are still financially responsible for them. She maybe has no problem asking you to meet that responsibility because your focus is money. She just stopped asking you for love because she wasn't getting her needs met there.
