jono7: i think so.
i don't think someone would keep their salary or finances secret if they were truly thinking about being in a committed relationship (whether common-law or marriage).
if the two people were at the point of thinking of making a serious commitment to being together... financial secrecy would certainly be a red flag. you're either in it for the 'us' or the 'me'.

honesty.
transparency.
informed choices.
commitment.
thumbs up to this I do agree. If a couple doesn’t wish to work together, why be a couple?

Tulefell: I think that the question was how much difference, if any, in income one would accept.

Most of the participants, and I'm very grateful that you bothered, answered all other questions, but the original one :)


1 900 is 65% of 2 900 and if they are together, then this difference is comfortable for both. How the imaginary personages will distribute their income is quite another story.
ok, now I’ve re-read several posts and am just a bit confused. 1. 65% of 2900 is 1885, not 900. So, my original figuring of a third of 2900 (actually 957.00) would be closer, unless I’m missing your meaning...confused

Howzit654: I wish Men will accept Women earning more than them, and not be jealous upsetting the relationship? It is Not a competition, just part of the Household income.
I wish I could meet a woman who made more than me. That tells me she’s got her head together.
I’d be happy with that.

Well... my result was based on the numbers you've gave in your previous post:


rohaan: I’m going to throw this out there and see what comments I get back: let’s say one partner earns $2900.00 per month (take-home) and the other earns $1900.00 per month (take-home.)

…….

According to my calculation 1900 is 65.5% of 2900. But again, if someone happy with the difference of 900/2900, I'm glad for them :)

How do you plan to attract a woman, who's got her head together?

Tulefell: It’s known that financial strain doesn’t improve relationship. But let’s talk about difference in incomes. Would it create some strain? Money is power in our world, after all.

So how much difference in income between you and your partner would be comfortable for you? (Could be expressed as percent of your income.)

OK. I see now. Post #76 separated the “1”, so at first glance it appeared to be 900”, instead. Go look, and you might see why one would read it that way. In any event, for 1900, you’re of course correct. Sorry....handshake

Any woman who makes a big deal and pours over the minutiae of what % each pay . clearly haven't got anything together...much less her head...Ditto any man too...

My advice..run a mile...and pay 100% of your own bills...

i so hear you. Yet, there must be some kind or order, and, to even the most dedicated hippies and beatniks ( I’m one), financial issues must be acknowledged and appropriately dealt with as a realty, not as something to hold against the establishment. I’m all for the “don’t tell me what to do”, stand, however, we live in a society that DEMANDS familiarity, sameness. Tell a bank you want a loan for off-grid, non-utility using real estate, and they deny it. Why? Because they’re lending on the status quo.things are NOT how the people think.

It's how it is done in Sweden, except for running. No need to run of you've paid your bills, is there? But thank you for the advice nonetheless :)

ali110: I don't believe that , to me a relationship doesn't belong to wealth ,
My understanding is that in your country cousins got married in order to keep wealth in the family. And I think that close family members have approximately the same income or start capital, as women don't work for money. Or am I wrong?

Nonetheless, what does relationship belong to in your world, Ali? What happens if you fall in love with a homeless woman, begging money for her next meal? Would your family allow you to have relationship with her?
