I come from a well-to-do family but make 3.5k a month. My bf comes from a super poor family but makes 21k a month.
Of course I don’t know for sure but roughly maybe my parents net worth 100million and his parents net worth 50k. I usually manage to save almost all of the 3.5k a month I make in a savings account because I have a supplementary credit card which my parents gave me.
For big ticket items like marriage, car and house, I get the feeling that he will want us to split 50-50. Personally I don’t think it’s fair because he makes more than 6 times my salary. My parents’ money is their business right and I feel we should split 1:7 ratio. I jokingly brought it up before but I could feel his disapproval.
I can’t get over how cheap he is. In a way I feel like I am being bullied.
Sounds terrible to say out but really people who grow up poor tend to be bitter at the world and quite stingy. Even if they become successful it’s like they can’t let their past go. My friends who grew up in ok families like mine tend to be very generous and I think such positivity makes for better vibes.
