I would say love means more then money! I mean nobody needs to make a fortune to hang with me! But its always handy to be able to pay rent and be able to get food....thats all the money you need is for necesities! Thats what I think anyway!

My ex divorced me because lack of money. I used to make much more than he did,in the end I was fighting for disability.I no longer had any money.He could not keep up with all the material things that the rest of his snobby family had.(not paid for though)

Yes love means more than money..but chemistry has to come first..If that not there then it wont work no matter how much money you make.

Well money is not THE important thing if you ask me....first is chemistry upon initially meeting and also once your relationship goes on it should grow and actually deepen in friendship and respect....I do expect a man to be financially sound enough to provide for the normal things in life tho and be focused on where he is going.....his career and goals in life....Not a slacker.....Just a hard working romantic guy is nice!!

Just stopped in for a look see today. Saw this post and had to say something. It does happen, so just keep with it. I was looking for someone that wanted me not for what I could give her, but for myself. I found her during the time I was not at my best financially (keeping myself and son going on less than $600.mo).. but my background is such that when i was ready it would change. I just was offerred and accepted with a company for the position of Project Manager which starts in the next couple months and another offer pending on another job too, Now I get the girl and the money *LOL*.. so life does change. (by the way, I was passed on for the same reasons for a while too)
Thanks EMT.. this was done with the resume' we did at your place a couple years ago.

Money isn't all, but it helps.
Too often I find people are so superficial and will make quick assumptions and not give a guy a chance to prove himself. Money, Good genes, and mental stability are top of the list. any flaws and it is instant rejection.
OTOH so many are caught up in finding "love at first site" or classic hollywood romances that they dont really know what to look for anymore.
If a woman wants money, I tell them they need to make thier own and come back to me when they found it and are looking for love

Personally, I dont think it's all about money, but it's nice to not have to pay for EVERYTHING yourself...I was dating a guy and he didn't have a job, and not only did I drive the HOUR to see him at least 2 times a week, but I also drove him everywhere, no car, and paid for everything! Bah! It's very frustrating.  I liked him well enough, but not enough to support his @$$! It's different if you've got a job and simply don't make THAT much money, than it is if you don't have a job, but it's also not that difficult to get a job where you make more money. If you simply graduated high school, you can easily make 10$ an hour or more simply by taking a few classes through the local community college....I am taking a CNA class, its a 6 week course, from 4 pm to 9 pm 2 or 3 nights a week, and when I graduate, I will have the potential to make at least 10$ an hour....Thats good money starting out. Nurses are desperately needed! They will pretty much take any chap in off the street if they have training. While it takes some guts for a male to become a nurse, it's not as bad as you think it is. It's time consuming, and it takes someone with a kind heart to take care of the elderly, its not all bad. The residents are great, and really apprichative.
It doesn't take much to get enrolled in the class and make way more money. It also doesn't take much to quit your job and FIND A NEW ONE! I understand that if you enjoy what your doing, its hard to quit, but if you're not able to pay your rent and the rest of your bills, than you need to find another job. If you can pay your bills and still have a little spending money in your pocket, thats what life is all about. Theres no need to have every toy in life, but some toys and hobbies are nice. I'm currently holding a job, going to high school and going to college at the same time, and while it's stressful, I also know that while I'm in college, I will be able ot get a job as a CNA and have spending money.
It's frustrating when the girl has to pay for everything because the guy can't afford to. Love means more than money, you are correct, but you need to have money to get me to stick around. You don't need millions of dollars and I would prefer you didn't but you need to be able to as least afford the 10$ in gas it takes to get the movie theater, and the 10$ it takes to get inside the theater! If you can't afford 20$ a week or every 2 weeks to go to a movie, then I won't waste my time....It might sound harsh, but oh well

I was on the receiving end of a relationship like that once.
Right after I graduated college, I started going out with this girl. I was looking (rather unsuccessfully) for a job, so she was the one that drove the (approximately 2 hour) drive to see me about weekly, and she paid for most things we did on our dates. (To my credit, I tried to pick pretty cheap things to do: dominoes in the park, movies at home...)
I'm a relatively old-fashioned guy, and I wasn't really comfortable with the situation, which probably contributed to the decline and eventual ending of the relationship. I always felt like I was mooching off her, and I just didn't like that.
Now I've got a good job, I'm making plenty of money, and I'm trying to find someone who'll like me for me and not for my paycheck.
Finding someone who fits that profile is turning out to be harder than I figured.

Ok I was reading the posts here, and thought I am going to put my 2 cents in....  ......No money isn't everything, I feel that as long as it pays the bills, and puts food on the table, then it shouldn't become a problem. I took a CNA class in Febuary, it was a 2 week course, 1 week of class room and 1 week of hands on. I don't make anything close to $10 an hour, I make less then that. I often wondering if I am working for the wrong company  , But what the heck, I get my bills paid, food on the table, and it doesn't leave me much for extra spending. Money shouldn't be the main reason to get into a relationship, it is always nice to have. I am a firm believer of chemistry, pysical (spelling) attraction, communication and honest that makes any relationship work, just my opinion

Maybe you are working at the wrong company :) I know here, in the little town I live in, they start you at 9.90$ an hour, and you get a pay increase after 90 days, and where I'm going to college in the fall, CNAs start at 11.77$ an hour and you get a pay increase after 120 days....lol. But you're right it puts food on the table and thats all that matters :)

Maybe I am working for the wrong company. I submitted my resume, to a different company that is closer to home, I am going to check them out. and keep an eye for different jobs for CNA's when the new weekly paper comes out.

Think one of the best lines in my interview was something like... "They need someone to care for them, and I want to help other people. There is a satisfaction you get when you know that you are doing something that improves a person's way of life." But it's been a year, so I don't remember. Try looking at group homes too. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but they are always in need of caring people. If you were closer to Oconomowoc, I'd recommend you to my company.
