I’m sick of dating losers. The last person I dated had been living in the same rent-controlled apartment for years, and it’s the size of my dining room. I see wealth as a sign that someone is ambitious and aims high. Moneyist, am I too judgmental?
I’ve reached the point in my life where I want to settle down, but I recently had a disagreement with a friend about my priorities, and I would appreciate your perspective. I’m 46, a college-educated singleton, and earn $210,000, not including my annual bonus. I have paid off my student loans and own my home. It’s worth about $700,000 and there’s about $400,000 left on the mortgage. Here’s my issue: I want to meet someone rich.
There are many people who earn a quarter of what you earn who would rightly see themselves as winners. The median household income in the U.S. hovers at around $71,000 a year. Better to regard your own income as a gift rather than a barometer by which to measure — or judge — others. Nearly half of people who are dating said in this survey that financial transparency makes them more comfortable early on in the relationship. In other words, money matters. And yet more than a third of people have hidden debt from their partner. Translation: They know money matters.
“‘Using wealth as the one filter for your search for a life partner could limit your choices, and put the desire for material things or a certain “lifestyle” above other important criteria.’” People swipe right or left based on a variety of factors. Dating sites like Hinge, Match.com MTCH, +1.73%, Tinder and OKCupid are full of de facto economic indicators. Consciously or not, singletons use financial filters when choosing partners based on lifestyle, real estate and clothing.
