| Would you have a relationship with a guy who's living paycheck by paycheck?
Posted: 11/8/2006 6:02:18 AM | Most here are missinterpreting your post so they can put on the "I'm a decent person act and I don't judge people" most of which are the same people who in another thread wanted to pose for porn magazines.
You are a gold digger if you are looking for someone to support you.
You aren't a gold digger if you are digusted in the irresponsible way a guy handles his income. Something like 70% of all arguements between couples are related to finances and contribute to divorce. So since you are looking at your future with this guy I guess it's a good thing if you already see him as being irresponsible financially.
It is a turn off for me if a person has a decent income yet:
cannot handle simple finances, i.e. utilities, rent.
buy everything on credit, i.e. no interest no payment.
racks up credit card bills,
car payment is more than your rent payment,
I could see all that being a major source of frustration if you are living together. | |

Posted: 11/8/2006 7:38:24 AM | as for me I would date a woman who lives check by check, and bonita I don't think you have been outside of your country. anyboday knows getting a work visa isn't like buying milk it takes time to get one, and friends aren't as easy to make as you think cause if the people out there have your attitude then why would he want to make them his friend, hell he is going out with you so really he only needs one b#$ch in his life. and he has chosen you. cause if he is that bad you had your choice of many men out there to make a relationship with, but the truth is none of them wanted you. so deal with it.  | |

Posted: 11/8/2006 9:52:08 AM | Maybe where some are getting hung up here is this: It depends on what your definition of "paycheck to paycheck" is.
Here is the Boston and Metro areas, when we talk about paycheck to paycheck, we are talking about impending disaster. It means, here, no savings, a mound of debt and a pretty mediocre job. Most of the people I know are definetely way above the level of the job they are working but with things the way they are in Massachusetts, it's nearly impossible to land that really decent paying job.
If I lost my job, I'd be screwed. Car would be repo'd, couldn't pay rent, etc. That's paycheck to paycheck.
People that have money to save, are really not living paycheck to paycheck. Those of us who truly are, cannot afford to put money in the bank, we need it to pay bills. If you have $10,000 in the bank, at least you won't lose the roof over your head or your car while you find another job.
I myself have a lot of ambition and have been looking for a higher paying job for 6 months. I'm hoping to land one. In the meantime, I try to avoid disaster. I work two jobs sometimes, but it's really hard to make ends meet.
I wouldn't be with someone else who was having such a hard time. I think it would just be a very stressful situation.
But, I think all of those who are struggling at the moment, I think their ambition and determination will pay off! I hope it is sooner rather than later for all in this position. | |

Posted: 11/8/2006 4:57:46 PM | | That's insane! Are you looking for some guy to pay your bills? If not, then what are you worried about? If you're dating him, you could tell whether or not he's taking care of himself. A guy could be a millionaire and take one shower a week. That same millionaire could also be driving a crappy car. You just NEVER know until you get to know the person. | |

If your referring to what I said in an earlier thread about nude shots? I was only joking,that's what the ...lol....means...
Plus,when did being nude mean you were a bad person?
I do like your statement though about not being able to handle your finances!!!! I think another problem, is people who spend more than they have. I know our country does that,but it's fiscally irresponsible!! | |

Posted: 11/8/2006 11:45:38 PM | I am a single father of 4 children, I live from pay cheque to pay cheque as well, It does not mean that I do not have plans or take care of myself. My kids needs are looked after first and what ever is left is what is left, I wish I could afford to have some of the things I want but we are happpy and we make do. Try not to be so narrow minded some times, We are goal oriented people as well just having a harder time reaching those goals!!

Posted: 11/22/2006 9:36:27 PM | Probably about 90% of the people in this world lives paycheck to paycheck, and trying to avoid slipping into homelessness, which is quite easy to do in the U.S. Hmmm a new sofa or saving money to pay for rent for the following month? Alex from Jeopardy, I'll take money to pay for rent!
Having no plans for their future nor taking care of themselves does not mesh well with me. These two things are a turn off. I like someone that thinks about their life and plans and executes those plans.
But the basic of living paycheck to paycheck is fine with me as that is normal way of living. | |

Posted: 12/14/2006 2:04:02 PM | | I dont see anything wrong with going with a man who lives paycheck to paycheck.He could be going through some really tough times.I dont think that would be a reason to not want to be with the person.It is not all about money anyway.Thinking like that makes you wonder if the person is only about materialistic things. | |

Posted: 12/14/2006 2:30:52 PM | | Ummm..excuse me, but NOT everyone lives paycheque to paycheque. In fact, people who DO live paycheque to paycheque are the people with the issues, not those of us that aren't interested in dating them. I was brought up being taught to plan for a rainy day and to ALWAYS have three months living expenses saved in case of emergencies. I am a full time university student and run a small business part time. I pay bills, rent, and have various other expenses (including two pets and a variety of hobbies) - and I DO NOT live paycheque to paycheque. Before ANYONE passes judgment on those of us who have a problem with this topic, take a look at you OWN spending habits!! It's called "sometimes doing without" in order to always have "it"... | |

Posted: 12/14/2006 2:38:00 PM | | Emergencies always only last 3 months...and never cost more than your monthly living expense...Look Darlin', everyone is trying to get by....Spending 'habits'...ptooey...Most families that have a dual income are still below the poverty line...One 'emergency' can set an entire family back a years worth of saving...of course...you would know all about this being a University student...try back on this one when you've got another decade under your belt and no student loan to help you. | |

Posted: 12/14/2006 2:49:23 PM | hmmm...well...I live paycheck to paycheck...I also have morals, am clean, but my house is messy...I also have hobbies, but sometimes my work gets in the way of me doing them. I also have a bunch of bills I'm behind on because of the time I had chemo and radiation treatments for cancer...of which I am cured...so my saving for THAT rainy day went out the window along with anything else I may have had to give up....
I worked TWO jobs when I was in college, because neither parent wasn't paying my way...I did..and still am...
I would rather date a guy who knows what it's like to work for a living than someone who has had everything given to him. Anyone like that is usually pretty down to earth and doesn't tend to look down on those who aren't as fortunate. Sure it's nice that you can save, but sometimes life gets in the way and there are more important things to take care of.
Maybe those who seem to think money is so important should go to the sugar daddy site after all... | |
