Hey everyone I'm making this post on both boards because I want to see the different viewpoints...
I'm in a relationship and I'm noticing that my spending is wild..i.e .. dinner dates, trips,ect... ect.. It's time for a new car and I'm thinking I'm going to pick up the Tesla, but I need to save a few dollars, cause I'm trying to avoid a car note. Aside form the car buying putting together and sticking to a budget is a responsible thing to do..ect...
So I'm putting together this budget... So far I got 40% income going to fixed expenses..i.e Mortgage, utilities ect... 15% to grooming ect... I'm trying to add my girlfriend into the budget ( i.e. dates, trips, gifts,ect) Not on the Sugar daddy thing, but just keeping track of hoe I'm spending. I was also thinking that if i had a fixed amount of resources dedicated to the relationship I'd probably better manage and improve the quality..i.e.. better planning ect...
So here's the questions ladies.. how much of your man's monthly income should he devote to a relationship... keep this in mind
-She's a girl friend not a baby-momma
-We don't live together
-She has a job and car and her own stuff
Also once I have the budget..should I tell my girl about the budget?
Grown Folks what are your thoughts
