Misadventures in Atlanta

In dating it is not too important to see eye to eye in money management, but if it turns into a relationship then it becomes very important. I think it is something that doesn’t have to be “bought up” during the dating stages, you will just see how each other deals with it.

For me, I agree with the guy Wise Diva dated. I have been in very bad financial situations and I refuse to go back. I am not cheap with money but I am not frivolous either. My woman will be pampered and treated well but as an adult she should realize we can not have everything we want. As adults we have responsibilities and have to stay within a budget. There will be occasions when we splurge and the budget goes out the window, but realize sacrifices will have to be made eventually. My daughter on the other hand is a child and she should be (and is) spoiled rotten.

I have been told that most women don’t care about eating out with coupons. I have never done that but if so, I would not let her know I did it. Sometimes you can tell if you are financially compatible while dating by the little things. IE, the types of places you go, the activities you do, coupon eating, valet parking, etc.

I think you become incompatible when you are with someone that has to keep up with the Joneses - someone who defines themselves by what the neighbor has.

Coupons are not a big deal to me- saving someone a little cash. If someone is embarrassed by using coupons then I have to wonder about that person. Do they have an image to uphold or what.

MORNIN’

Ironic topic - I have a new friend, and the first day I met him, he told me his situation. Situation = im broke right now. There was something about him that I liked and I gave him my number and I was very anxious for him to call.

I dont make six figures, but I do make a lot more money than him. This doesnt really bother me as much as the fact that he doesn’t have a bank account. I’ve said before this is one of my hang ups when it comes to grown men. We’ve been talking since July, and I’ve already asked him does he have an account, and he states he wants to open one… when I don’t know. I want to bring it up again w/out sounding like his mom, but I’ll let it be for now.

Money matters and sex are the cause of some of the biggest arguments in relationships. Thus far, I haven’t had any problems with either, its always been something else.

I look fwd to everyones responses

Good Morning This is what I love about just dating. I don’t have to share my money matters with a dating partner; money is not an issue at hand. And although I have begun to clip coupons and actually use them, be a consistent investor, and pay off debt; I am still the spoiled girl who likes to do whatever she wants with her money. Sigh, shoot just thinking about shopping makes me excited!

‘Morning All

I’ll never forget this one guy from several years ago…….every time we went out to eat (and these were reasonably priced places), he had to “discuss” the bill with the mgr. After noticing that, I thought, damn, if you can’t afford to go out, then don’t try. It’s not like I was asking for that (or anything else from him). That was very funny.

Someone brought up the coupon thing on here once before, and I presented to the woman in my office. I asked “IF a guy used a coupon on your first date, would you go wout with them again?” It was strange, all the females that were married or in a relationship were like “Oh hell naw, I would never date him again!”, but all the single women were like “oh, thats cool. I wouldnt mind”

Once girl went as far as to say she would rather have him pay full price at Zaxbys than eat with a coupon at Emerils!

Money, money, money … seems like the bane of my existance. Although I’m not where I used to be I’m certainly not Daddy Warbucks either. Sometimes when I read this blog, I have to laugh to myself because I’ve literally had to pull myself by my own bootstraps to get to where I am.

Honestly, I had to teach myself on proper financial management and sometimes women don’t want to hear the sh*t. Especially, if she is attractive and used to being spoiled by her parents and every boyfriend she ever had. From my experiences I’ve found out that the next person I get serious with has to have a firm understanding of the true concept of work and saving. True you can’t take money with you, but you can give it to your kids, which I plan to do with mine when I have them.

Good Morning All,

I never ever ever get into money discussions with someone I am just dating casual or otherwise. What is mine is mine, and what is his is his. An there is no point in talking about it. If we go out we go Dutch. If I feel like treating then I will, if he feels like treating then he can. Money is a discussion to have with someone when you are considering a committed relationship ..living together or marriage. Otherwise it is really not the other persons concern.

Good Morning to all….

Imapeach you are so right the major reason why people break up is sex and money. Gosh how I wish it was not true.

When hanging out I never ever want to discuss money with a man. I know in the south its a little bit more hush than NYC when it comes to money questions. Here people determine alot from outside things…where you live(city or boroughs), job title, clothes/hand bags, summer house(hamptons vs jersey shore) roommates or not, and even what lounges or clubs you go to. Here its a more in your face if you have or have not; not as bad as California but its getting there. Men have tried to determine how much I make based on how many vacations I go on in a year. I know I do better than the average person and that is a blessing. But when it comes to dating I try not to let it hinder. However it seems to always come up. I had a cop on the five finger rotation this summer and he was stuck on the fact that “he assumed” I made more than him and he would not be able to keep up with me. That’s on him. I never flaunt or bring up finances. What I have is mine a brotha can either deal or keep it moving. What gets me is the men that think that just because a sista’s make more than him she should take care of the bill most of the time or treat him. Simply if you have Ford Focus Funds don’t go buy a BMW and expect someone else to put gas in it.

Funny topic. This was a HUGE issue for MWP and I when we initially started “dating” the chorus that she LOVED to sing was that I was stingy. This was by in large because i would not do “save a broad” stuff like buy her and all her girlfriends meals, or pay for everyone to go bowling. That is just not the cut of my jib, and she was used to being with dudes who either made money illegally so spending it was no big deal, or whose parents laced them up with dough so again spending it was no big deal. I really do think that because she has a pretty face she was used to dudes just doing any and everything she asked. The fact that I did not compromise my integrity just to get her probably increased my stock in her eyes. As time went on and I realized that she was indeed the LOML I started to become freer with my spending. I am still money conscience and I still have to check her on occassion about her spending habits, but it is not NEARLY as bad as it used to be. Much like Wise, this broad grew up like 34 day old milk so much of the blame on her sense of entitlement falls on her parents.

Good morning everyone

What happens when you are a fan of valet parking but you are dating someone that refuses to pay to park?

it’s not valet parking so much as it’s a parking garage near the venue but it depends on the situation.. if it’s freezing outside.. or storming I have no problems pulling out my wallet to pay for a close parking garage if he won’t… or if there’s a concert.. I don’t want to walk close to a mile to save a few dollars..otherwise I don’t mind the walk…

Or what if you cut coupons and your date is embarrassed when you pull them out?

I don’t clip coupons..if I can’t afford to go to a restaurant then I simply won’t go..it isn’t even about being embarassed… there’s just something odd about having an option to pull a coupon out in a restaurant…those restaurants that typically have “coupons” bring something to scratch your head about..how fresh are the products that they use in order to have a buy one entree get one free option?? food for thought.. if it’s that cheap then I guarantee you that the quality isn’t that great..(and I’m all for good health and gracious living) it would be a lot cheaper to purchase some groceries and cook a quick meal.. as for grocery stores.. I look for sales..

Can it really work? Can your opposing beliefs regarding money issues co-exist?

here’s an example…

let’s say someone (male or female) buys a S class.. 7 series BMW..or a Phaeton.. has the best style in clothing that you can imagine… rents a 1 BR loft on Peachtree…has bills coming left and right due to his or her extravagant lifestyle… what does that tell you about their financial responsibility??

or someone that drives a Honda…Jetta..or Corolla.. owns a nice modest home..dresses well but isn’t concerned about labels..pays bills on time…what does that tell you about their financial responsibility??

I can tell you right now that the person in the first example would clash with me from day 1… I’m all for fine living ..but that isn’t it and I honestly believe that emotional stability plays a huge role in financial irresponsibility..

If two people have fundamental differences about the way to spend money then they will clash the moment that they choose to co-exist with one another.. and quite frankly.. I’d much rather know that someone is on my team in regards to how we spend money together.. rather than having to train someone to be financially responsible.. I reserve that for my clients and unborn children…

Good Morning Everyone!!

I think your philosophy on money is critical to the success of a relationship. I could care less about a coupon…heck the little kids at church hit me up all the time for these entertainment books so I have to use the coupons somewhere. My current BF makes good money…but you wouldn’t know it by his spending habits…only by his assets. He’s very critical and observant of money matters so it’s a good thing that I’m frugal as well.

I know it’s one of his worst nightmares to marry someone who doesn’t share his philosophy on money….I think it boils down to love and respect within a relationship. You just don’t blatantly ignore someone’s opinions/ideas and do what you feel…(meaning..you just can’t go run up all the credit cards because you wanted to go shopping). I think that’s disrespectful. I would be mad if my man went and bought an expensive car and golf clubs without consulting me and I would expect him to feel the same way if I did the same thing….Now, of course we’re talking marriage and not just dating.

I dont understand what the big deal is about someone asking you what it is you do for a living? To me that is a natural part of the “getting to know you” process. It leads to other questions they can ask like…

Where did you go to school? and then that can lead to even more shared interest/topics of conversation.

Unless you a muhfugging spy or a rocket scientist why get offended if someone ask?

Sup to all the blog-brothas! It is funny the things a married woman says she would not do as opposed to a single woman. I bet the married woman put up with a helluva lot more to get her man! Am I cheap if we have lunch at Taco Bell but dinner at Bone’s? A lot of times with men, it’s not about spending/having the money. Its about how the female feels/acts/talks about you with her girlfriends if you are not up to “her level” the you “ain’t no good” I think this is where the money problems come in.

@ Peach, You know you are my girl so I have to help you out with this one. A grown man should have a bank account, period. Now there are situations that enable someone from getting a bank account, too many bounce checks previously, etc. Don’t make it your issue, let him handle his financial business his way. As long as he is treating you right and not asking you for money, it’s al good. Just keep your eyes open too see why he is in that situation, how he got there and what he is doing to get himself on the right track.

@ Bre, The south, at least Atlanta is far more materialistic than you think. What you described from New York is true. I know fo’ sho’ cuz I am from New York and I go back regularly. Atlanta is almost identical depending on the circles you run in.

@ Blue, Man before I met my current lady, I can not begin to tell you how females would size me up financially before determining if I was a good enough candidate to go out with. A lot of times I would slum it just to see the difference and it was amazing. Don’t believe me? Go out to any restaurant bummy and see how you are treated. Then go back there in a suit and see the difference, especially from the ladies. You made a great point.

I find that alot of guys are asking what you do for a living….and people are trying to size you up when they ask that question upon first meeting you. My BF and I were out at an event and we were seated a table with another couple. The older gentleman stated what he did for living (no one asked him) and told us what his SO did…We just politely smiled….so then he asked what we did. Well, after my BF stated his profession and I told them mine…his eyes opened up and was like well that’s really good! Well, what makes that so good unless you were trying to evaluate us for our worthiness….I don’t know…it’s just a pet peeve of mine…I hate it when people ask me what I do upon first meeting me…

Prince Charming, so are you saying you would approach a female who is dressed bummy?

I don’t think women are wrong for looking at a man that appears to be “pulled together” - if he is an azzhat, it will eventually be revealed - so dressed nicely or not, women who are seeking men with character really want to know you have good hygiene and put some work in your appearance. I don’t think that always means she is looking for Mr. Money, though.

A man can ask me what I do for a living I don’t mind at all. To me that is not discussing finances. Discussing finances is talking about how much I make what exactly do I own, etc. Much of this you will eventually learn if you continue dating someone. What I do not understand is why some people don’t see money management on individual terms before they want to be in a relationship. I love being in control of the money I spend, but I know once I settle down that will change to some degree. What’s important now though is that I learn some fundamentals on how to save, invest, and when purchasing, reap the most out of my purchases. So that just in case I do get into a serious relationship or get married I want enter therein empty handed. Nobody wants a companion who can’t bring anything to the table.

But on a serious note, I think the entitlement comes with your past experiences If every guy you dated paid to get your hair done, your nails done, and paid for every meal….that’s what they think is the norm…at least for them. And there are plenty of guys out there that would oblige.

At this point in our lives money is not a problem. My husband and I have different views of money … he’s the spender and I’m the saver. I (we) have a pretty nice nest egg saved and will borrow from him before I touch our savings.** If we were to lose our money due to a financial setback of no fault of our own, I think I would be okay (maybe a little sad/disappointed) but that’s life.

However if he (or I) started making bad decisions with the money to the detriment of our family (loss of houses, cars, jobs, integrity, or loyalty to each other) because the money was squandered to support a bad habit, affair, sport/recreation or sheer laziness that would be a BIG problem.

ahh, y’all know how I feel about this topic, I harp on it all the time…

I don’t care how much money you make, guys, honestly I don’t. I would prefer to date a man who can take care of himself but if a gentleman has a great personality and is a great date the money doesn’t matter to me.

THAT SAID, I do make a good salary and I like to enjoy myself once in a while. I’m not saying that I have to go to Ruth’s Chris every single time we go to dinner, but once in a while, like once a month, maybe, I do want to go somewhere a little nicer than the bar down the street that serves burgers. I would like a guy who could make that happen — and I’m not saying pay for me, just be able to pay his own way and not cringe about it. I think that’s my “dateable or not?” limit, from here on out.

Also, tipping is HUGE to me. It represents generosity and thoughtfulness, and I won’t date a guy who is disrespectful to the people who serve him.

c that 1 i think that some attractive women have a sense of entitlement b/c our society dictates that attractiveness is HIGHLY valued. actually, it’s more like, that’s all that really matters. sad to say, that we live in a pretty shallow time. beauty is considered to be worth top dollar. turn on your tv for 5 minutes, you’ll know what i’m talking about. i think the same applies for men. attractive men feel like they’re entitled as well. our society has put an extremely high value on physical attraction, so some of those people who fit the bill expect others who want them to “pay.”

Blue I was one of the single girls saying I wouldn’t mind. I couldn’t really put my finger on it outside of the fact that the females in the relationships have become “spoiled” and don’t remember what its like to not always have a date. I feel like they have become comfortable in their situation and may not appreciate a man going out of his way to make sure you have a nice time.

Hell, I don’t know!

if you have Ford Focus Funds don’t go buy a BMW and expect someone else to put gas in it. Too cute Bre

Demi… you’re right about that Red Flag! I never thought about that :)

I think a good way to balance money out in dating is if one person pays for the event, the other person can pay for the extras like parking and tips.

Fellas… have any of you moved here from another city and find that women in Atlanta really expect you to spend, have a nice ride and be a baller? I always here men say “Women in Atlanta…” but I wonder what women are like in other cities.

Heeey EeerryBoodddy!!! Money is a big issue when it comes to dating. let me just tell yall what happen to me. I met this guy and we had been kicking for a few weeks when his car broke down. Ok so being that his car was his only transportation a sista helped him out. I took him home from work for a week. He found out that his car repairs were 1200.00 right. O. k he got his car fix but money was real tight for him, so on two occassion he had to borrow money; the 1st time he gave it right back but damm the 2nd time i had to dam near act a bi—- to get it back. Anyway after all this was said and done, my car broke down and when i call this nig— to have him to pick me up and take me to work he didn’t come through. he waited and call me at the last mintue talkin bout do i still need a ride yall i was mad as hell, he was acting nonchalant when he saw me anyway he friend end up taking me home from work and he was looking stupid. Have yo s** together before trying to holla at someone oh yeah he didn’t have a bank account and come to find out he ball with the majority of his money so money is important in arelationship if u boke don’t come my way.

But how you spend your money expresses a great deal about your personality, whether you are capable of (financial) spontonatiety,do you use coupons when going to the grocery store, can you prioritize your spending, do you have good research skills in making large purchases so that you get the best for your money, you know checking for the 60” screen HDTV on sale.

Hey ya’ll.

kym your top ten had me silently snickering over here. Too funny.

Why do some attractive women have a since of entitlement?

Hey C All attractive women don’t feel like they are entitled to your ends. Why would you think that?

Hey I remember being really really young and I was at the Inman Park train station with my granny. I know that was the train station because I lived in the apartments directly infront of it for a long time after we moved to Atlanta. Anyway, she was singing the song, ain’t nothing going on but the rent, you got to have a J.O.B. if you wanna be with me. Anyway, even as a child, I knew the song well and started singing along with her. Then she started laughing and asked Ms. L cause that’s what she calls me to this day what you know about that song? This topic just reminded me of that….

Anywho…. in dating, I do think being financially compatible matters. Although you aren’t sharing bills and living expenses, you are going out and spending money on one another. If you have two people that view money differently even that won’t work.

If she likes to fine dine and he prefers to grab a burger on the way to the crib, someone won’t be happy at the end of the night. If she likes to sip on top shelf martini’s @ The W and he prefers to “get right” with the stash in his trunk, someone is going to end up feeling cheated. If she likes to take vacations quarterly and he would rather stack up his money for a rainy day eventually they will bunt heads.

But on the other hand, that could also be a opportunity for one person to teach the other.

In my case, I love to valet, travel, fine dine, attend wine tastings and go to the spa, ooooh and I love to shop. However, I only endulge in these things when my budget permits. So I could definitly understand if a guy that I was seeing had to keep a tight budget. Wouldn’t nessesarily be my preference but I would understand and would be able to adjust accordingly.
I really could I would just know what not to expect and make the desicion to roll with it or step.

But if I really liked a guy, all that probably wouldn’t even matter.

@Kym, It is not just Atlanta but all over. That is what television is sending out - more bling, more money, bigger houses, flasher lifestyle. I think ATL promotes this “hip hop” image more than other cities, especially with that theme song. People have to keep up with the Joneses. No one wants to live within their means anymore. Shoot, people on welfare act as if they are making six figures.

Oh and I will say this, if I’m just dating you it shouldn’t be any of my business if you have a bank account or not but since I’m done with the casual dating and going forward I plan to “date with a purpose” your financial business is to a certain degree my business.

Even if a dude makes sure his generalization is pre-empted with the necessary qualifiers (some, Many, Most, plenty, a slew, a gaggle) a broad will STILL take it as though he is speaking about all of yall.

Your score = 85

You’d choose love over cash any day of the week. Deep down, you’re probably a hard-core romantic - you believe love conquers all and is not influenced by such superficial things as material wealth and possessions. You would consider dating someone, or even making a long-term commitment, based on their character and personality traits, not their bank account balance. This doesn’t mean that you seek out underachievers; you probably appreciate financial success as much as anyone - it’s just not at the top of your wish list when looking for a romantic partner. You would likely stand by your man/woman through severe dry spells, and not judge anyone for their lack of financial achievement. As long as you realize the difficulties that can come from being low on cash and are ready to face them if need be, your perspective shouldn’t create any insurmountable obstacles.

Example:Grandma and ma move from NC to DC when mom is 4. Grandma marries granddad when mom is 11. Granddad is an asskicka and ma moves out at 15. Grandma gets cancer and dies at 56. Granddad gets sick and BEFORE he dies in hospital, wills grandmas house over to his son. So… ma’s bytchazz stepbrova gets crib and ma gets nothing. Now ain’t that a bytch?!

I think one’s spending habits sheds light on them as an individual. Money and our attitude about money leads our lifestyle. If you somewhat know what a person does for a living you can pretty much find out their income range, therefore determining whether their habits are living above, within or below their means. Dating someone living above their means will eventually take toll on you, because they can not keep it up without something failing somewhere else. Like driving an expensive car but barely being able to supply it with gas. Dating someone living within their means shows a person that is comfortable with who they are and where they are. Nothing to prove to anyone. Dating someone living below their means can be good and bad. I’ll give the bad. It let’s you know this person could be somewhat cheap or maybe overly cost conscious and won’t spend one nickle more than they have to. Therefore limiting their dates.

I like most other women love to be pampered. The level of pampering comes with the lifestyle of the suitor. It’s not a matter of whether I can or cannot do those things for myself, because I can do them and still do them and have done them. But I do enjoy when my man can surprise me with nice gifts.

That’s not inconsistent at all.

So what does a 100 or 40 say?

Your score = 55

While you’d likely choose true love over big bucks, you do have certain limits. You hope that the one you fall for has ambition and makes decent moolah, but it’s not one of your top criteria in selecting dating material. You know that the most important thing in a relationship is the person’s personality (and, ok, maybe looks), not their bank account, and you’re not about to pass up the opportunity to date wonderful people just because they haven’t hit the jackpot. All you want is someone who reasonably tries to get ahead in life, but you wouldn’t walk away from that special someone if the going got tough. You motto could be “love conquers most things” - you’re realistic enough to know that poverty is not anyone’s cup of tea, but also idealistic enough to believe in the power of real love

Wise, cute test….I scored a 70.

I have to laugh when I think about how I’ve been at both ends of this spectrum.

Long time ago, I used to date (and eventually lived with) a guy who was all for paying the bills and taking care of me (even though that was not required of him). Turns out he was a jealous fool, who initially didn’t want me to work, then thought he could do whatever he wanted because he paid the bills. Well, I’m sure most of you can imagine what happened……I kicked his butt to the curb, got a job, paid my own bills and showed him what time it was. Of course he spent much time after that trying to get back in good.

Come on ImAPeach404 and Kym, I know some chicks from the “A”, all my sisters and cousins, and they are very materialistic, and love to spend some money. And most of them have SO’s and Husbands who love them, and love to give them money to spend. But like I said in a past post these women also came to the table with something financially to give. You would be surprised but many men that I meet don’t care what I do for a living, and why I drive that paid-off Corolla they want to know if I am flexible. Meaning, once the relationship/dates exceeds five dates per month, now we are an item, can I accept there spending habits and learn from there financial knowledge. I’m grateful I have learned alot.

Oh yeah, I’m St. Louis MO, been here for a while.

Wise, cute test….I scored a 70.

I have to laugh when I think about how I’ve been at both ends of this spectrum.

Long time ago, I used to date (and eventually lived with) a guy who was all for paying the bills and taking care of me (even though that was not required of him). Turns out he was a jealous fool, who initially didn’t want me to work, then thought he could do whatever he wanted because he paid the bills. Well, I’m sure most of you can imagine what happened……I kicked his butt to the curb, got a job, paid my own bills and showed him what time it was. Of course he spent much time after that trying to get back in good. HA, not gonna happen!!Much later in life, I ended up attached to a guy who was doing alright, then things went south and he was waaaay down on his luck. I stuck with that fool thru it all (helping him to be able to make a few bucks and get some things going).

To put an end to arguing my question was: Why do some attractive women have a since of entitlement?

I posed this question because some women who think they can use a man to help maintain their sexy are just plain out of their mind … plus they come across a real superficial as they only have their looks to get them by in life … sad actually. Of course, if I’m serious with a woman I have no problem with the occasional maintenance. But if women seek not to be objectified then why do you all have so many objects that need constant work? (i.e., hair, nails, feet, make up, body baths, etc.)

Yeah, I like ‘em lookin and smellin good and all, but I also like ‘em with a little common sense.

I tend to shy away for anyone who thinks their bank accounts, money, clothes, or church (to answer Demi’s question) makes them who they are. If the only way you can define yourself is by the kind of car you drive, the money you have in the bank, or the clothes on your back..being able to drop the name of the latest fad or designer then you are a sad, sad little person indeed. Because that means there is nothing more to you than the material thrill and underneath you are a insecure human being who as the old folks would say”Dont know your azz from a hole in the ground.”

@ Wise, thanks for the test. I got a 60…love over money, but with limits! lol!

@ Blue: If you don’t like a woman to ask you what you do for a living, is it the question itself, when it is asked, or how it is asked that bothers you? I ask b/c I’m asked frequently what I do by men, and it immediately turns into “can you help me with my speeding ticket?” It’s annoying, but at the same time, if I’m trying to get to know someone (or he’s trying to get to know me) isn’t your occupation a big part of that? It takes up 8 or more hours of the day, 5 or more days a week…seems like a legitimate question to ask. I hear you on the “being sized up financially” part. It happens to us women too, especially if you have a career that requires an advanced degree (doctor, lawyer, etc.) How would you prefer that information be shared? (so I can pass on the tip to the next man that asks me!)lol!

C tha 1 IMO most attractive women have a sense of entitlement because not only were they raised that way, being told first by their parents and family how pretty they are and being singled out, but when they got older society backed it up giving a false sense of importance. My mother taught us that we were just as good as everybody but no better than anybody. Where you think you are beautiful there will always be someone more beautiful than you. Modesty is the key. I will say that I am beautiful because that is how I feel internally.

And these things you listed that require constant work (i.e., hair, nails, feet, make up, body baths, etc.) are called maintaining like you said. Not for on-lookers but I would hope for one’s self.

ImAPeach404 let’s look at it from another perspective, about 40 years ago the “A” was different place, men made most household purchases and bought the expensive toys that they wanted. The only thing that has changed is the we (women) are becoming greater spenders in the South. We are actually working outside the home more, unlike or mother and grandmother, and we make larger purchases these days, this actually could be said for women everywhere. And since fourty years later I am single not like my mother or grandmother, of course you are going to catch me out buying laptops, desk computers, furniture, HDTV’s, as well as shopping at Kitchen appliance stores, grocery stores, etc.

Face it some attractive women are not independant. Some attractive women ONLY have their looks. Some attractive women choose to live a life where they depend on a man to take care of them and that IS sad.

Some attractive women are spoiled and used to their looks getting them what they want. Then they come to expect those things. It is what it is.

afternoon folks!

Kym thanks for going easy on us - I enjoyed your top 10 list. I almost didn’t come over here because I thought you were going to be talking some serious smack about my beloved Falcons. I still have faith in them.

GO FALCONS!!!

On topic - I tried dating someone that had differing views concerning finances. It didn’t work at all. I took that quiz and scored 100, but I think the quiz was misleading in that it doesn’t address a person’s attitude toward money. Pre-nups aren’t for me and if my husband was looking to start his own thing, I would definitely support him. But I can’t emphatically say that love is more important than money - because if a man has a horrible attitude about money, we can’t work.

I’m surprised no one has said this - well not as of the last post I read - but I think some attractive females have a sense of entitlement because men have allowed them to. If they didn’t have a history of men catering to them because of their looks, they wouldn’t carry that over to the next relationship.

On coupons - I just got my Entertainment 2007 book today. I can’t wait to try out some new restaurants.

When people ask what I do - I simply say I’m an accountant. The next thing that comes out of most men’s mouths is ‘oh, are you a CPA?’. I don’t mind telling people what I do - I agree that its just another way to get to know someone.

I took myself out of the dating game for a minute because I felt like I didn’t think that I made enough money to sustain a relationship. After getting a better-paying job and some other breaks, I still felt like I couldn’t measure up. Nowadays, I really don’t care and I expect to be accepted for who am I and what I have. If that is not enough, then that person is obviously not for me.

Back when I was making less money, I would always give my salary up front because I wanted to be honest with the young lady from the onset about my situation and what I could or couldn’t do. It turned out that after trial-and-error and getting some advice that was the wrong way to go. Now, I don’t reveal my salary. I still tell them that I don’t make a lot of money, but I don’t give my specific salary or any actual figures.

Honestly I’ve paid the way for more men than they have ever paid for me. I’ve always been pretty cool with handling my own. Then I realized I was the fool and being to generous just to have a so called man around. Thank goodness for the talk when my boys sat me down and put some sense in my head. If need be I will go all around world and build my wealth alone before I give another cent to a man.

But U still have to pull your own weight. When I get married, I want my standard of living to increase, not decrease. Whatever way u like to live, u should be able to support it on your own.

I totally agree. I will not put restrictions/limitations on my husband’s lifestyle if he’s able to contribute and maintain our household in a responsible manner. We are self-sufficient and capable of doing great things together as well as apart. Our finances support the lifestyle we’re comfortable with and whatever that is may or may not be what someone else can afford.

@ Darkbuty, Don’t take the “what do you do for a living” question so hard. Most times people are just trying to make small talk.

@ Wise Diva, maybe “bummy “ wasn’t the best word. I was referring to the blue collar brothas who work hard and get dirty. I have seen females treat them like “less than”. But I should have said “extremely casual” You know with sweats and a t-shirt or something. Not dirty or bummy. And yes, I would approach a female in casual attire, except for house shoes outside the house! That is a pet peeve.

@ Aggressively Witty, Don’t go there, a lot of people are from all over so don’t put all of the materialism on the northern cities!

@ kinderbee, I agree with you, but please don’t hate on the beauty. Most times there is something more than what meets the eye.

@ Peach, I moved here from New York and although women are off da chain up there, it is nothing like the materialistic Atlanta women. It seems that they have a check list and if you do not have EVERYTHING on that list, the females play games to find the balla that does have all that she is looking for.

@ MsUnderstood, If it is not your man, do not lend him money! He is a man, he will find a way. Sorry the chump played you.

Ok, so what about those of us who qualify as “house poor”? After the divorce, in which I kept the house, I took a few steps back, but am starting to take some steps forward sloooowly. Money management I believe is always a challenge.

Thing is, I’ve always held down good jobs, and was able to buy the house at 26 with my own credit. How do you get a lady to see that, “Baby, I may not be able to take you on lavish dates, but I’ve got a good foundation, and when we add that to whatever you bring to the table, we can then start to build something really nice for the future?”

FEMA paid for rebuilding the Superdome, you say? Where did you hear that? I’ve read about the ‘Dome being covered by a $500 mil state insurance policy, and people want to upgrade it from its current state so that it’s a suitable hurricane shelter, and the upgrade would (perhaps) be paid by FEMA.

ummm nooo - the topic can continue till 5, but feel free to add another side topic. What would you like to talk about? Do you have any jokes? Oh, I have one !(no offense to Bush lovers)

George W. Bush goes to an elementary school to talk to the kids to get a little PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and W. asks him his name. “Stanley,” responds the little boy. “And what is your question, Stanley?” “Actually, I have 4 questions: * First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? *Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? *Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?
*Fourth, why are we so worried about gay-marriage when! 1/2 of all Americans don’t have health insurance?

Just then, the bell rings for recess.

W. informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume W. says, “OK, where were we? Oh, that’s right, question time. Who has a question?”

Another little boy puts up his hand. W. points him out and asks his name.

“Steve,” he responds.

“And what is your question, Steve?”

“Actually, I have 6 questions: *First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? *Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?
*Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?
*Fourth, why are we so worried about gay marriage when 1/2 of all Americans don’t have health insurance?
*Fifth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And *Sixth, what the hell happened to Stanley?

and i would begin checking you out fairly early…your conversation about money…how you spend it…the lifestyle you seem to lead…because if we are on two incompatible wavelengths financially…then that’s just one more tide i don’t want to have to go against…

Great stuff “Musing”.

Your comment about the ‘exchange’reminded me of a joke I once heard. A middle aged man came up to a stunning twneties blonde at a corner and said, “you are incredibly beautiful. Would you sleep with me for a $100,000? The lady paused for a moment and looked at the guy and thought about the money and decided the guy was not so bad, so she said “yes, I guess I would”. He said “okay, would you sleep with me for $25? She got mad and slapped him and said, “what do you think I am, a wh*re?” He said “we have already established that, now we are just negotiating the price’!

A blonde was bragging about her knowledge of the state capitals of the United States. She proudly announced, “go ahead, ask me any of the capitals, I know all of them.”

A red head said, “O.K., what’s the capital of Wyoming?” The blonde replied, “Oh, that’s easy, ‘W’.”

I thought about it, and thought about it,and decided to leave the guys with a joke.

Q. What did God say after creating Adam A. I must be able to do better than that.

Q. How do you get a man to do sit-ups? A. Put the remote control between his toes.

Q. What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every night? A. A widow.

Q. Why does it take 1 million sperm cells to fertilize one egg? A. They won’t stop to ask for directions.

Q. Why does a penis have a hole in the end? A. So men can be open minded.

Q. How are men and parking spots alike? A. Good ones are always taken. Free ones are mostly handicapped or extremely small.

Q. What is the one thing that all men at single bars have in common? A. They are all married. hahahahaha, LMAO
