While engagement and holiday weekends becomes a wow-wow with fellow collaboratives on a major debate we intend to discuss sometime in coming years. Anyhow, the subject of money comes around and we all agreed on how this can affect people in general. In regards to marriage (we're all single except for some partner), we had to comment and even laugh at how people (hypothetically) say that money ISN'T a big issue. They say love is the key?... well, I feel and have seen most women could easily fall in love with money first, than anything. I may not speak for all female Sajhaities, but, money DOES change & "buy" people REGARDLESS of ethnicity, age, and social standing. Money is important not just because I am greedy or materialistic (ok, maybe a little). now, most of the folks are going to get all defensive and talk about how money is not somthing they care about. bs!. Now, there may be few, very few, for whom money really is not important. However, before you respond, think about the life you've imagined for yourself. does include separate cars for you and your partner, a home, vacations on a regular basis, ability to dine out on occassion? I thought so. Once, I know this is probably a dead horse, but, seriously folks (especially the ladies)... what is your take?... and for the sake of this topic, be honest. Same for the guys...
