Open Question: Does money really matter in a relationship?

31/10/11

I have a good job, own a home, a car, I take a vacation around every 3 months, anything I want I will buy for myself, so I’m pretty set in life. I usually try to date guys who make more money than I do or the same or that are also set and have invested their money wisely. The reason for that is that when ever I do get married and start a family I would only like to work part time, so I can raise my kids, so I would have to depend on my husband for most of the earnings. I recently started dating this guy who I like very much and who treats me like a queen in his own way. He does not make as much money and his job is not a set job, they can fire him in any given moment if they please. When we are together I want to go out, or just get away for the weekend but he never seems to have enough money. I paid for a couple of things but i’m also not going to be paying all the time. He has mentioned he wants to start a family with me. If I do end up staying with this guy I know we are not going to be able to travel or go out the way I’m used to. I need some advice on whether its wrong on my part to be thinking so much about the luxuries I will be giving up or should I just follow my heart and deal with cutting back on the trips I had planned. Any advice will help… Thanks
