I don't think I could. I'm not the most ambitious person but I am in a decent job and am progressing. I wouldn't want a life where I am constantly a few poor decisions away from losing everything.Honest opinions please and no judgement given … Could you marry someone or be with someone who was poor / earned minimum wage or say just above it and they have no intentions/ambitions of bettering themselves? Eg. will probably be earning 25k a year by the time they’re I their 40s working full time. I’d love to hear honest opinions rather these PC answers… does wealth and more importantly lack of ambition bother you when looking for a partner?
Yeh I thought minimum wage was less than that, I'm not on minimum wage and that is my salaryHonestly.
25k isn't a that bad.
Some people don't have aspirations to be earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, and that's okay, if they can make their life worth while and bring me happiness and make me feel loved and worthy i wouldn't care if they were earning 25k or 250k.
Money isn't the bee all and end all of life.
Interesting, the only couples j nknow with big salary gaps are always the men earning more and usually couples with children so the woman does more childcare. Does anyone know any couples that do the opposite?No, I'm very ambitious and earn very well. If I was with someone who wasn't ambitious / wasn't earning the same or close to I would feel like there is an imbalance in the relationship. Imho, in relationships where there is a huge pay gap between partners, the one with the high salary usually has the leverage over the other and I wouldn't want someone to have that over me or have that over someone else. I would personally want to feel equal in terms of contributing to our lifestyle together. Just my 2p
Meant to add, this is in the scenario where 1 partner is earning significantly more than the other who also showed no signs of looking to improve. I think after a while I would wonder if it was a marriage of convenience / gain for them. This goes for both genders, I know of both men and women who have dated someone specifically for their bank account.Interesting, the only couples j nknow with big salary gaps are always the men earning more and usually couples with children so the woman does more childcare.
