[Girl]

To me it's not a matter of making how much income but the participation in the relationship financially.

I hate it when people count every penny of what they spend on eachother or how some girls EXPECT gifts. WTF. Money should be spent on priority items, like household items if you live together or take turns paying for meals.

Doesn't matter if the girl is making $8/hr and the guy is making $40/hr or vice versa. Know your limit, play within it, use within it.

Don't be dumb, quite being too stingy or throw out your whole life savings just to get your bf John Lobb shoes or buy your gf a LV purse.

My boyfriend and I never get into arguments about money. One of us will pay for the bill when it comes to shopping or eating out. When we travel one of us will do the accommodations, the other will do gas or food or however it ends up working out, but usually we pay around the same thing. We don't really talk about it, we just do it. Cuz in the end we know it all eventually works itself out and it diminishes any awkward moments or fights. Having said all that we gage it, if I know he's been spending a lot on certain things or could be tight on money I'll make sure to pay a bit more. If one of us is making more than the other, we do our share.
