excuse me while I findhumans who reside in reality. maybe some young'un who is but just begun his life as an adult. maybe even someone who due to some bad choices lost everything that they worked and lived with for 10 or 20 years. but to be so flippant and say money means nothing, I'm somewhat astounded that so many are believing this tripe....
I am not talking 6 figures I'm refering to those who without the assistance of others wouod starve or be homeless. . theres money and then theirs money.... and it means something other wise everyone of us would not work at jobs that make us age before our time.
yeah once again I'm outside the general CS forums population opinion.......

I think most people here are talking from personal experience too fireliter, but it's a topic for discussion...not particularily make anyone mad.......sorry you fel the way you do...but that's your choice
Maybe a bank balance holds no importance whatsover to all the people on this site, but to me, it does hold importance.
To explain, I would probably end up hooking up with someone about my age, or late 40's. I think having a little cushion, or property and a job and car means that after half their life is done, they have managed to accumulate something other than debts.
I don't mean a millionaire, but a man with a little something stashed away shows he is responsible and capable and smart enough to not squander all he has earned.
ill bet that if i was as broke as a joke...and couldnt take you on a date....you`d be mighty pissed off if i dressed up as a clown to entertain you..as opposed to going out....honk honkl....
I agree... Although money does not impress me. I would expect my partner to at least hold a job. I live one paycheck away from the street and my boys need to work to buy thier own clothes. I do not need another mouth to feed.
I understand where you're coming from. Practicalities are important considerations within many relationships, but I guess I'm just a bit of a romantic fool!
Bet I end up viewing matters exactly the same as you in a couple of years.
Maybe not, I still think friendship, passion and a good sense of humor are very important. There is a lot to be said about a friendship built on trust, honesty, respect, and acceptance when you know you can share anything with your partner because they are your best friend and they will have your best interest at heart...it is what I have been dreaming of...so don't go changing....everyone is different.
"You can sometimes love what you don't understand but it is impossible to completely understand what you do not love."
Love will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no love.
JMO, but I've been up and down financially, and as long as I've had someone to share my inner being with, my bank account takes care of itself. Not without proactive work on my part, but I'd rather be broke than lonely.
