Malone --

Both physical and fiscal fitness are of huge importance to me. I have worked very hard for everything I have and have become quite money smart. I don't have a lot, but want to keep what I have.

Outspending ones means, credit card debt, spotty work history, unable to save, no budget -- these things all are red flags. ...

...And no amount of evolution and women's liberation can breed out of women the desire to have a mate with resources to take care of her. For the second half of my life, I'm more attentive to things like that. I also will admit here if nowhere else, it is important my man makes more than me. I don't ever want to feel like I have to pay for the date or our vacay or gas for the car. Luckily, I don't make that much, so I can theoretically date lots of guys!

I'd love to meet a man who earns more than me. Actually, it still doesn't really matter. But I don't want to pay for his gas. I don't want to pay for all the vacations, I never want to pay the mortgage on my own again if I have to have one (and I do for now).

Itr's great advice thank-you, and it's probably useful for a lot more of the women here than me alone!

That bit about if a man is good with his money, he's probably better with his other resources - that's very, very good.

Actually, swap the guy bit for 'woman' in all this advice, and it's good for the guys here too.
