I’m from an upper middle class family. Should I continue dating this guy?
Okay, so I am this girl whose parents meddle with her lovelife. I’m in love with this man whom my mother doesn’t approve. She keeps on telling me to marry a richer guy, whom I don’t have any feelings for.
We’re upper middle class and the guy I love, my bestfriend, is a little more well-off than the average lower middle class. For some reason, I would also like to marry because of love but would certainly choose to become practical as well.
This is my family’s stat:
We own five vehicles
have a big enough house for a family of seven
Five maids with a house of their own
Lives in a clan owned compound
Me and my youngest sibling are studying in very prestigious schools
Parents run a family business
3 square meals a day + morning and afternoon snacks
This is his family’s stat:
Owns two economic but decent vehicles
Lives in a low-cost subdivision for a family of four
Has a housemaid, but goes home at the end of the day
He studies in the same prestigious university, but pays for it quarterly; sister studies in an affordable private school
His dad works as a consultant in a printing company, mom is planning to go abroad (Canada) to work as a nurse
3 meals a day; but sometimes he tries not to spend his money for snacks
P.s.
I might work as a flight attendant / graphic designer after college
As for him, he will continue to med school, and become a doctor after four years.
BTW, his family owns a spare house
I don’t mean to offend you buy your parents are shallow and don’t know that love keeps a marriage going not money. they most likely married based on money. just because your parents don’t approve doesn’t mean you can’t marry this guy. do you know how much better that guy is doing over so many more people in this country? it shouldn’t even matter about the money. don’t marry someone just for their money marry someone because you love them. that’s what marriage is for.

Money shouldn’t be the reason you fall in love with a guy. Forget your parents if they say you should go for someone else. Think with your heart here and you will be rewarded. Plus if he becomes a doctor then he will be more than well off for money.

The day your on your death bed will you thinking about all your the material things your leaving behind or will you be thinking about all the people that you love? Anyways, do what ever you want. It’s your life.

How very "The Notebook"….
Your house only holds a family of seven and yet you have five maids? Why am I havin’ a hard time believin’ that part?
At the end of your college careers, his profession will make yours look like an allowance.. lol.. So I wouldn’t judge him now for what he has. He’s a struggling college student – he’ll make his way and if you let him go for strugglin’ now, you are goin’ to regret it. If he honestly loves you and shows it and you love him and he knows it, tell your mom to kiss your ass and stay out of your life..

that’s kinda complicated, so I understand your feelings.
you know, in this life, I’ve heard of so many men, who were very poor when they were young, but right now they’re almost billionaires. and it doesn’t matter how many vehicles does he have or does he eat snacks or not – you should think about his perspectives. it’s really important – what’s inside of his brain, his plans and goals, is he a mature forward-looking guy or a coach potato. you see, money love smart people, and sometimes wealth comes and goes. it depends on the person, who owns all this goods. I think, if you trust and believe that once day your guy’s gonna rule the world and he wants it and shows and does all what he can about it, it’s the right choice. but if he’s only thinking and suffering cos of his low class, and material sides are torturing him – then you should think twice and only then make your final decision.
it’s weird, but take a look on Coco Chanel, Abramovich, Bill Gates, Oprah, Mariah and even MJ – they were all poor but they were strong enough to change their life to get everything what they wanted.
