seeing how only 10% of the population earns more than 80k a year & 5% of the population earns more than 120k a year, holding out for a 100k salary is unrealistic. You also have to take into account that of those 5% & 10%, 1/2 might be women and probably 1/2 of the men are married. so thats as little as 2.5% of eligible men who make over 80k.
I would wager 40k a year or so is the goal. i've heard women say 30k is their starting mark before.

Kind of a stupid question.
I had close to nothing just getting out of college when I got married. Of course, I have a lot more now, but I think it depends on the girl: whether she is a bitchy gold-digger, or an actual woman.

Where did you see or hear those stats as to salaries? Seems a bit low to me, though I may be desensitized working in the silicon valley.

God, what kind of women are you men meeting? How much money? How bout none? How bout finding a good women who doesn't give a shit about money, who only cares about having someone that loves her and having someone to love.
You need to know your worth. Once you know this, you will be able to look for the right type of girl and not stop until you find her. There are good women out there.

No shit. You guys really gotta start picking up women in different places.

I've seen people who are in love with each and seem to have no problems at all. They get married and both have low income jobs. Money creates most of these problems and is the largest topic of fueds in their home.
Now if you have money I'm sure there would always be something to fight over. But with money you avoid one of the biggest problems in most marriages.
Just finding love isn't always the best choice to make in life. Love can turn sour fast once you are struggling hard trying to put food on the table.

I disagree.
Anyway, let;s face it, money is Nature's way of selecting the fittest for breeding among humans.
Deal with it.
Women who say otherwise are lying not only to you but to themselves.

I look at whether someone has goals and ambition and is actually working toward those goals. The guy doesn't need to have tons of money, but he needs to be hard working and motivated. I'm not a slacker and I wouldn't want to be married to one. Anyone can have goals, but I look for the guy working hard toward those goals. This is the type of guy I would fall in love with. There would be other things to make me fall in love, but in reference to this topic goals and ambition is key over money.

It depends. If they are marrying for security and status, then yes, money is a factor. If they are marrying for love, then it matters not.
Of one thing, though, I am sure. Curling is stupid. Very, very stupid.

They want whatever they percieve to make them happy. to fill as many of the six human needs: certainty, uncertainty, love, signifigance, growth, contribution.
So as a guy its our job(in their mind) to provide whatever they perceive those six human needs to be. So its really an imposibility.
Make as much money as you can. You will hv the flexibility to do whatever you like. Thats the guy they want. They want to have fun. lol I have noticed, the less im interested or clingy, the harder/longer the suck. they love sucking a guy that doesnt need it sucked. You need it, then they dont want it.
These chicks know we are allways open to trading up. The trick is to keep it challenging for them, so they allways feel like you are desired by other chicks. Then they will continually work their asses off to keep you in their life.
Once they sense you need them more than they need you... Im sure you know the rest.
and before you spend way too much time thinking about them. remember they wear makeup and depreciate faster than we do.
once they get past their child bearing years, their contribution to society becomes unimportant.

A lot of rich people have absolutely nothing but their money and their kids are absolute pieces of screwed up shit.
Deal with it.

Did I say that? Not all goals = money. People can work hard and not make a lot of money. What I was saying is I want someone who is goal oriented and ambitious and successful at what they want. If it makes a lot money great, if not then lifestyle changes a bit. Let's face it having lots of money would be nice (and I can contribute to that, not just him), but it's not as important if you're truly in love with someone.

You have a finite number of eggs. so your programmed to be impregnated by the guy you perceive to have the best qualities. This increases the chances of your children being the most sucessfull.
In our society, its money. All this other nonsense your throwing out there is for the schleps who are dumb enough to fall for it.
When i was broke, no ladies. Since i hv turned things around they all seem to be interested in me. i wonder why? i am in better shape, but i do not think that is it. ITS THE MONEY!!!
Any chick that denys it. is either married to a puppy dog(becouse it empowers her, and she cant handle a guy making her do things in bed!!!). or a lier.

Do you men honestly think that all women sit on their fat asses watching for hubby to bring home the bacon? Where I'm from that's not the case. Both husband and wife work. Both are educated. Both are never, ever complacent. They are always striving for better.
Like I said on another thread if you marry an uneducated peice of trash you have no one to blame but yourself. If you marry a women with no job, then you have dug your own grave.

How am I deceiving myself? When I met my husband we were both students. I am 7 years younger than him. I was never in a real rush to get married. I knew that eventually we would both be finacially stable to get married. When he proposed to me he was doing pretty well finacially, but not great. I was still in school. He told me that in order for us to get married, on our wedding day he wanted me on a path to make some serious cash, to help us.
On our wedding day, I had graduated college, and had a job in my field of study. That's what he required. I'm glad he felt that way cause it really gave me the extra push I needed.
Now here's another scenario. Say we got divorced tomorrow. I'm 25, own a home and have a good job. What would I look for in a potential mate? I would want someone who had a decent job and who had drive and determination.

I'll agree, if men marry someone who doesn't work and isn't successful too, it's their own problem. However, I think it is important once their are kids for one parent (mom or dad) to stay home and raise the kids if it is at all financially possible. Or if the both parents can work flex time to take turns or have family help out instead of just daycare all day every day. My mom worked when I was little, but I stayed with grandparents and aunts/uncles until I went to school.
Look just about everyone male or female wants to be with someone who is successful and ambitious, but I would not "pick" the person to marry based on money.

LB,
I agree. When we have kids I can only stay home for maybe a year. And you know what...I don't want to stay home. It took a lot of time and dedication the get to where I am. I am not going to throw that away.
Money is important, but it's not the defining factor. It's up there though. I could never be with someone who worked in Mcdonalds. I need to be with someone who is ambitious and motivated, who wants the best out of life. Usually when you find someone with those traits, they hopefully are making what they are worth in salary. The potential has to be there. I expect that in my mate, because that is what I bring to the equation. I am not a secretary( no offense to any, cause that's how I got through college) making 25K. I am an educated women making a not great but okay salary. I have drive and determination and hopefully one day soon, I will make what I am worth. That is what I expect in a mate, because that is what I expect out of myself.

I am glad you found happiness. You seem more mature than a lot of people.
I've seen the other side of women. Good for you.

I read this and for some reason the first thing that came to my mind was, "Why would you get the house?" If you and your husband divorced, that bad boy would be up for sale and you'd have to split any equity built up.
So, you'd certainly be 25 and have a job, but I bet you'd be looking for a man with a house.

No you are wrong. Why wouldn't we get a house? Should we rent and give our money away? I think about this a lot. I would probably try and buy his share of the house. Then I can get a second job to make up the difference or get some roomates.
or, we can sell I will take my half and buy a condo or townhouse.

It was worded poorly.
I meant why would YOU get the house and not your husband in a divorce.
You pretty much covered how you two would handle that though. That was what I was after.
Here's to hoping the tow of you have many more happy years ahead.
