Why is it important for them know this information.

Why would you want to hide your annual income from your girlfriend?

Is money that important to you? Are you worried she'd put demands on you, that you don't want to fulfill, or you're just simply too mean to grant?

If you think your girlfriend's that materialistic, then you shouldn't be with her in the first place!

As for myself, I see absolutely nothing wrong, in letting my girlfriend know what I earn, money isn't the most important thing in my life.

Some guys guard their income close to their heart like it's some kind of dark secret.
A good woman will help you plan around your income, and guys there's no telling what a 'wrong'lady will do to your finances.

I know his income,he knows mine,so we work aroud that.

no need to let a woman know ur income
if she get to know, she no go let u be till the money finish.

Why should u keep something of this magnitude hidden from ur other half?

Because such guys are greedy, selfish, insecure and have a very singular attitude to financial issues!

Opuro, I understand your fears.

But, if you can't trust her, why be with her?

hell no

Money is not everything, if she loves you she wont care whether you earn small or big. love is all that counts.

This question is just like asking evryone :Do u trust your partner

If you trust her then you will tell her how much u earn(you'll even tell her the day u get paid), if you don't trust her, then you'll keep it 2 yourself

its best if they don't know,period!

I don't give a flip if my partner decides to tell me how much he's worth or not.

If he asks me plainly, I could tell him my gross, net and whatever else he wants to know about my finances.

If he keeps mute on his, he should be ready for a very demanding partner because if he can't disclose his finances, it means he's so so rich that he's scared that I'll wish him death if he discloses it!

If he does, I'll see how we can both plan, invest and make best use of both our incomes to the advantage of our immediate family.

It really doesn't make much of a difference.

My gal knows what i earn _{Infact, she's the one keepin my Employment Letter.}

It has neva been a problem 4 us, her knowing doesn't mean that she WILL DEMAND for cash indiscriminately.

As a wife, it would be good to know so we can plan but as a girlfriend, its really not my business.

I hate it when some guys talk about women as if they are some dumb things. It's totally annoying.
A lot of guys really don't know what RELATIONSHIP is all about. Some of them have never had one. Maybe a slepping partner or something else, but never really a relationship.

Wait a minute, isn't this the same guy with those du*b questions? why do women shave; which is more embarassing. . . . Well, I was just wondering. I'm really not surprised about his stands in this subject.

i don't give two hoots if he tells me, i'l probably never ask my boyfriend, as long as he is able to take care of himself and is not always broke, or a leach on me, but if we are going to get married, that is get engaged we need to plan our finances, mine and his know who picks up what tab and all dose stuff. marriage is not`one casual thing we'l enter and say we'l take each day at a time

I wont go right ahead and ask him, i will expect though to know so we can plan our financial life together.

Its probably people that don't have money that feel the need to hide their income.However,if you are getting married,by all means do hide as much as you can.That way,when time comes for alimony and child support,you can pretend to be poorer than you really are.

I would not reveal my annual income on guy on the first date, BIG NO! BIG NO!

Only serious committed partner you love and plan to get married soon, then reveal your annual income. It is important for each other to know how comfortable financial obligations are in the future before getting married.

Depend how much you trust your partner in length at least 6 months to 1 years to each other!!!

[b][/b]is this such a big deal? i see nothin in it. no biggie in telling ur partner how much u earn!

why not. nothing serious

methinks its necessary, the bible says the two shall become one, and if this is so, then secrets in marriage is dangerous, as already said it shows distrust and u know we, women, most likely if she doesnt know, she'l assume u earn quite a lot and of course would act on that,


sides, are u afraid she'l know u r spending some money somewhere else

No biggie

She doesn't suppose to know at all, NEVER!

what so special about the income that it should be hidden. its unsecured men who would hide their income.

Guys i do not buy that idea at all, if my guy hide is income from me and i find out that money go finish b4 he says HOW .

In a marriage,hiding your assets is the smart way to go about your business.At least in the West with the "
lopsided" divorce system against men.

Since 50% of marriages here collapse,you might as well prepare financially for that 50% chance

Should i?
