Mo’ Money, Mo Problems

Putting my hypercritical judgment aside, I have to wonder why Ms. Six-Figure was disclosing her exact salary to a guy she was only dating? Do you ever tell people you are dating how much you make? Celebrating, or gloating, since Diva was only seeing it from the outside and assuming, we will never know.

Celebration = honey I got a promotion, lets go out to dinner to celebrate.

Gloating = Ms. Six-Figure was disclosing her exact salary to a guy she was only dating?

I know some people prefer that men have the “power” in a relationship, but does it matter if a woman makes more money than her man? so the person who makes the most money has the power?? I know a man should be the man of the house, but that still doesn’t mean he has the power, that should be equal, and if you marry the right person, these issues shouldn’t come up.

It could be that the better salary is a competitive angle of their relationship, and that’s childish if so. I don’t reveal my salary but people make assumptions anyway based on your line of work.

I know some people prefer that men have the “power” in a relationship, but does it matter if a woman makes more money than her man? Does that change the dynamic of the relationship? Should it change the dynamic?
It becomes a problem when a woman holds over a man’s head the fact of his making less money than her is an inadequacy in his masculinity. It shouldn’t change the dynamics but for some men it’s actually bothersome for them to know that a woman makes more money than they do. Really, when either party wields the “power” in a corruptible fashion, that’s not cool and will eventually lead to drama.

Diva….I don’t know how u got to know about the six figure But if u did,yet you were an outsider,it proly means the woman was shallow,talking bout her money in public like that.

It maybe that the man was upset if not embarrassed at the woman’s gloating(as Single points out) in public,at that.
Actually,I’m wrong.

The man had proly also talked about his money,right..coz Diva knows that the woman had joined him in the sphere. Either the woman had mentioned that or they were All talking bout it in public,

Well,they’re both shallow so they deserve Each other!

I have a homeboy that’s in the position of making less than his wife…it bothers him, but he knows – like we all do – that regardless of ‘who makes what’ – when the boo-boo hits the fan (or backs up in the loo), he’ll be called to fix it.

If she’s making that kinda bread – good for her. If she took her dude out to ‘celebrate’ and didn’t consider how that may affect his mental – boo this chick.

Point is, either way, what you saw Diva was a microcosm of their relationship. Him brooding, her celebratory, and their lack of communication.

^^Not death bells, nor “time to run” (and really, shame on you for wanting to give up that fast), but moreso a moment that will define their next few weeks as a couple (if that’s what they were).

I have never understood this. If a woman is successful and makes more money, she is weilding control? Granted, I will give you the point that most times to succeed in a male-dominated society women have to be much more controlling and demanding to get to that level, however most have the ability to “turn it off” when they come home.

In my case I do make more money. However, when I come home, I don’t want to be the boss anymore. I need (and have) a man that is secure enough to understand that it’s not MY money it’s OUR money and it doesn’t matter whose paycheck it came in on.

Like Dan said, when the boo boo hits the fan, I still fully expect that he is going to be the HNIC and handle that isht (literally…)

Good morning, bloggies!

“Do you ever tell people you are dating how much you make?” – Never have. I don’t even tell my good friends how much I make. My mother doesn’t even know how much I make. Unless you’re going to add to my salary, and your not my husband, no need for you to know.

I was wondering how Diva knew they were only dating?

@Exiled – you are correct in your assertion; my response was based on a man in a relationship with a woman but I didn’t expressly state that. But I’ve met men that were turned off by a woman making more money than they did, maybe because of the “power” factor?

good morning. folks ought to know money can be touchy. I don’t share my salary info but like cool shadow said, sometimes folks think they can guess based upon what you do, what you have, how you live. I won’t front. I’ve been guilty of it myself. not asking but guessing. lol. still, I believe that how much money one makes isn’t nearly as important as how responsible they are with it. I know plenty of people who make “good” money but have bad credit and awful spending habits. I know folks who don’t make much but can stretch the heck out of a dollar.

Goood morning gang!

I’m not sure what the point of disclosing her exact salary upgrade but maybe she was just that damn excited. The beau and I recently discussed our levels of pay but not in the actual numbers…just in a general class. He thought I made more than I do but he said either way, it doesn’t bother him. It probably bothers me more than it does him. I would like to be able to contribute more on a personal level but that’s just me.

Blah blah blah on the chicks and more money. Never been an issue for me. What I have seen though is people rationalize why others don’t like them (i.e. they’re jealous, haters, don’t like smart guys…) when really people don’t like them because a$$holes. Maybe dude was upset at his woman’s publicly flaunting her personal business, but she (like Diva) just defaults to him being jealous that she makes more…because it makes her feel better about being an a$$.

I don’t think too much can be guaged by looking on and sitting slightly within earshot. I will say it’s easy to assume either way depending on how you internalize. We could easily say she was being an ass or he was being a jerk or we can say she was celebrating and he just sucked…..IJS Either way, if he can’t deal with being on the bottom, he can always find a subpar chick to make imself feel better….lololol I’m kidding sort of. Without the true scope of their relationship or even if they were solidly locked in as a couple, we can’t assume. That being said, I won’t call her an for doing the dang thing neither will I assume he’s a punk and just hating.

I actually just had a hypothetical money talk with a guy last weekend. of course he said he has no problem with a woman making more. I find most men say this even the ones that don’t mean it. I advised that in general I wouldn’t have a problem making more but I’d have to go deeper than surface numbers. to use nice even round numbers I used the example of a woman with no dependents making 50k dating a man with dependents making 50k. child support, medical premiums, other incidentals will eat into his 50k real quick. you can adjust the scenario either way (kids, no kids, debt, no debt, more money, less money on either side). so, in essence, for me the money thing is not a nice, neat, tidy situation. there are lots of variables at play. and no, I’m not the chick that’s just going to love a man so much that money doesn’t matter.

Morning all,
What I take from this scenario is a missed opportunity to communicate. The specifics will always get in the way as long as they use neutral corner communication techniques. Power in the relationship based on salary is just so medieval. Wielding power on that fashion is juvenile. Granted they are just dating but in order to move forward they need to discuss and figure this out quickly.
I wonder who picked up the check. Now that would have been the best part of the discussion.

Her father disapproved of union and he too works here in the maintenance department. Well, she wound up being transferred to another building a few miles away and the bf gets fired. The two finally gets married (shotgun style). Why do they keep coming back here showing off their baby. It was scandalous when they were here cavorting around the building and in the parking lot. What propels a person to return to a job with the newborn knowing people tarred and feathered you behind your back? Was here last week for a second showing off of the baby.

Morning All!!

About a month after now hubs & I started dating I got a promotion, from an analyst to a manager. It was really special because I had been working at the company for only about 9 months. He took me out to a special dinner and that was it. We didn’t reveal salaries to each other until we got married. I don’t believe in intermingling finances with someone other than a spouse, so I’ve never had a problem in that arena. One guy I dated did get mad that I wouldn’t tell him how much money I made. He was good friends with one of my brothers and he remarked my brother kept how much he made to himself too and that we really were “secretive” about such. SALARY INFO IS PRIVATE! I told him I was sorry he didn’t get the memo! Yes, one can kind of assume what a person might make depending on what field they work in, but even then only guessing, because like Disco said, it can all boil down to how they manage it. I know too many folks that stay broke but work in high salary fields.

Not so much “just relax” as I think you should be in charge of things as opposed to me making all the decisions. I do that all day, everyday. I don’t want to come home to another person who needs me to tell them every little thing that needs to be done and manage every decision. Take some initiative and handle it.

Sidebar~ I also had to learn that for him to be willing to do that, I could not get upset when he made a decision and I didn’t like it or it wasn’t the way I would have done/handled it. That was a learning curve for me.

Single – Let me put it this way. I’ve heard some dudes complain about wives that are the boss at work and can’t turn it off when they get home. They won’t “let the man be the man” altough I HATE that term. Let’s just say I know how to leave work at work. Like I said, it’s really more of a state of mind than anything. Really, it’s our home, not a corporation. Not that many major decisions to make every day, even every month!

how did you know how much they made?

Single, I didn’t recall saying I knew. I never asked how much they made b/c their money was theirs and mine was mine. I didn’t make it a habit of asking the guys I dated about their salaries…ever. Even in the serious relationships I’ve never asked them and they didn’t ask me… With regards to things like dinner(who’s paying and/or who’s leaving the tip)movies and other routine “coupley” things, we discussed that but other than that, that’s it.

No cover, open bar,live band… that’s a cheap date night with wifey and something different. I really don’t do strip joints anymore, but the other night the bruz were at Taco Mac watchin the game. On the way back we stopped by Pin ups. I met this cute chick. She was a customer. It was her birthday and she was in there with some of her friends. I told her when she sees something she likes holla at me and I will buy her a dance. She picked out something nice, we got a table, I paid the chick and gave the birthday girl a small stack of ones to tip her. I bought couple of rounds, told a few jokes, had a few laughs, blew through my eighty dollar limit in about 42 minutes and was ready to go. On my way out the birthday girl came up behind me and gave me her number. She said she wanted to meet my wife………I smiled and gave her the address to party.

I don’t know, I think it’s mostly the visual of 2 (hot) chicks enjoying each other’s bodies, but honestly, after having done it a few times (had to keep checking just to make sure it wasn’t just the choice of ladies involved ), it’s not something I ever think about anymore.

Now when you’re dating someone and they almost ALWAYS seem to be in some kind of financial bind or are juuust getting by then that could be some indication.

Lemme defend Sassy’s exes on borrowing/asking for gas money:

I am one of those who poor with saving side money. I can invest and pretty much know I got a weakness so I soak awy as much pre-tax as I could possibly can.

My problem is spending in a staggered way enough to last untill pay day,the money I take home. I got a real problem with having say,a stack in an account and then my mom calling to say she needs some. So I tend to either spend right away when I have an immediate need without due regard to the next pay day or just being compassionate with my Africa folks.
It leaves me pauperish sometimes.

That’s where I’m glad I’m married coz I got a knack for asking Queen,’hey I need gas money’

She seems to always have a stash.

“comes with the territory….when u get in the marriage zone” I’ve been married for over a decade and one thing I truly underestimated was the amount of humility it takes to be a husband. Oftentimes you have to swallow your wife’s shiznit and tell her it’s a delicacy. Case in point, Monday night I left the office late, and decided I was gonna stop by my dog’s crib, shoot some pool, drink a few cold ones and check out the first half of MNF. I call wifey to tell her my plans and let her know I would be home later…..and she said NO! In my mind, I’m sayin B*&tch I ain’t ask you a muffukin thing. I just told you WTF I’m bout to do. But my mouth said, Dayum baby, I was just gonna holla at my man for a few, down a couple beers and decompress before I get home, but if you want me come straight home I will. …….Five minutes later she text me, “what time you think the game will be over, have fun.”……I’m like man this chick retarded, but I love her.

kimmie~ I feel ya! What you see is what you do.

Speaking of which~ I have a girl that I have known since way back in the pre-law days when I worked for the county. Her family was on my caseload and when she graduated high school, I was pulling some serious strings trying to help girlie get into college. In the interim, she met this knuckle head n’er-do-well boy from the hood and ended up getting pregnant by him. Flash forward, girlie now has 5 (yes I said 5) kids by this sorry azz SOB and she has finally left him. She is struggling to make it on her own and I help her out when I can. Here’s the issue: She seems to think that puddy is free and this bothers me. She has no problem asking me to help her out (this week, her truck needs a new hub & bearing) but you got a dude laying up with you and coming in and out and you can’t ask him to help fix your car or pay a bill because (and I quote) “He ain’t my man.”?!? Am I missing something?

But I can’t remember how to get places that I have been to several times. There have many occasions where I’m driving with wifey and I’ll say “ I think I missed my turn” she’ll say “you did… you should’ve turned two lights ago. I’ll be like, “why didn’t you say something?”…”DuShawn we have come to these peoples house ten timeS, you should know how to get there by now”. She gets some perverted pleasure by making my stupidity obvious.

Good for you Comon. Please find a beige hand towel in the left hand cabinet in your upstairs bathroom. Don’t break, sprain or rupture anything. Just put that sweet pain on him (lol).

If it was the man celebrating his new 6 figure salary, would there be these many comments about it being inappropriate? Men celebrate their successes all the time. Women should be able to do so without anyone pouting or criticizing. We don’t know how long they had been dating – it could be two months or 10 years. We don’t know enough to draw judgment.

Absolutely never, ever reveal this sort of information to anyone!!!!! No one outside of your spouse has the right to know this.

Additionally, this sort of info paints a mighty big target on your back … saying come use me now!

Me personally I could care less because you have to be comfortable with yourself and self confidence in making the same income. I would not share that information until I knew we are totally committed in a relationship. However, most men would have a problem with that and just means you need to step your game up.

Her salary only matters to me if she’s a ho.
Otherwise, it’s all good.

She was evidently expecting him to pay for the dinner. Women want equal opportunities, but won’t pay equally on dates with men.

I would have probably been upset and annoyed at her bragging about her great finances at the “I’m richer than you are!” supper when she won’t share the bill, too.

Whether a woman I am dating or married to makes more than me doesn’t matter. I’m still the man regardless. If we’re dating god for her. If we’re married good for US. People forget income goes up and down. Tables can turn and life can turn on a dime and she loses her job and takes a cut and he’s making more. It’s not a contest or fight with whom you’re in love of life with. It’s two people working together to make it period.

Honestly…there are just some men that do not like their woman making more money than him. I agree with the person who said that there are men who would lie and say they have no problem with it but truthfully they are burning up inside. For the people that says she doesn’t know the woman’s personality doesn’t mean you know her either.

Am very fortunate to have parents whose highest priority in marraige is to respect each other. Kinda spoiled me..am too fussy I guess.

Have one particular person/relationship in mind here. Mutual attraction me being male, her a six-figure gal for sure. Me, I work with my hands. Modest income. Stll we have great chemistry….except for her disrespect for men, probably resulting from fam background or divorce. She’s the complete package, but I the skeptic am to accept her like she is and not try ot change her. Couldn’t live with the demeaning and just know that my low salary would ammo for arguments she must win.

Ok, may be not understanding what love is…a complete acceptance without expectations for the other to change. I should be the one to change my expectations…got it. However, our insecurities intertwine and didn’t want to pay such a high emotional price and time investment to reach peace. Sometimes it really is apparent that money can be the root of all sorts of evil, one being having the upper hand on the purse strings and used as a weapon to mask over personal insecurities and an unwillingness to see the other as an equal.

Just my two cents worth from my little place in the universe.

According to black enterprise magazine the average net worth of a black woman is…..$100. Some may make it but not saving or investing. Mall purchases and large car notes aren’t investments,
