You're right, in some countries, there is way less fear of financial insecurity. But this world is unpredictable. Right now Russia and NATO countries may clash soon, so all this financial security may be at risk, Allah forbid.

Wallahi you are right our world could just change with a snap of a finger, lately there's a military show down between NATO and Russia.
Don't forget that women are physically far weaker than men and cannot survive alone in a cut-throat world with no law and order. We need to attach ourselves to strong men to live, whether it's our brothers, husbands or other male relatives. That's just how it is. It is wise to always think ahead and plan for ALL circumstances.

From your posts on this forum, you have always been an upstanding gentleman who is ambitious and well-mannered so I know you aren't intending for ladies to settle for bums.
Thank you for the kind words my sister ❤️
 
gabadga wants and needs a man who can afford her current economic status lifestyle or a higher lifestyle. a man being able to provide waa daruuri wax laga gudbi karo maaha. wiilka can be excellent but if he doesnt have income gabadhayda ma siinayo.
Spoken like a typical dad.

A lot of those sons tend to have bachelors and masters degrees from good local or even abroad western Unis on top of being fluent in English and Arabic. Unless they're dameero or unwell they don't really need anyone for anything. Western passports would be a boon, yes, but these aren't fobs desperately searching for salvation but more like a dude who admits he'd probably be more comfortable and, more importantly, secure if he was Canadian or British. 8-10K a month as a starting to midrange salary for a bachelor in the UAE is very livable, abaayo. And frankly very marriage worthy if the woman also has a similar income and works which most reer Khaleej girls do. You can rent out a comfy studio or 1 bedroom in relatively nice neighborhoods and lease out a decent enough car while having money to spare on utilities, food, leisure and savings, no problem. And in a few years you can definitely be sitting on 15K or more like many of my bachelors degree batchmates:


You'd be surprised at the kinds of nice places you can find especially if you're willing to live out in the boonies a bit and drive 30-40 mins to work. You can legit get a 3 bedroom villa for less than 60K a year:

Quick question... Are you available for marriage and if so I am very handy around the kitchen. Just saying think about it and get back to me.

@Qeelbax Sis, get to know him then make you decision. Money is important. You owe it to the children you bring into this world that they are raised in a stable healthy environment.

Personality and compatibility should be your dealbreaker tho. Drop him if his character ain't it. His money will not wake up at 2AM to change diapers for your newborn.

There are lots of men out there with their own bag that will match your carefree sweet personality. Believe in the abundance of the universe 😇

What would you say is a low salary and what would you say is a very comfortable salary in the UAE?
 
WHAT THE... ?! :damn:

Loool, respect and honesty is key to a long lasting marriage. Once the hormonal driven "love feeling" plateaus, she'll leave.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not 🤗

SERIOUS, NO TROLLING!

My mom recently found this Arab-Somali man for me. He’s only seen a picture of me but he fancies me. Apparently it was my grandpa who caused this as he apparently knows his father.
I of course said no but turns out he’s from a wealthy family. In Saudi Arabia. Not like extremely wealthy but his fathers income is 7 figures.
:wowsweat:
I absolutely have zero interest in this man. But I have interest in his pockets.
Wallahi I thought my mom was exaggerating because why would somali saudi person go for a somali person when I live in the west?

This sounds sketchy to me… Like there’s a catch. Is he an adulterer or something? Does he need a proud Darod gyal like me to retain somali traditions? My mom said something about them spending a considerable amount of time back home when they were younger. Maybe he’s retained his somalinino and wants a somali wife. But I’m very western, so that can’t be it.

:cosbyhmm:

I seriously question your moral compass. You live in America and can earn a decent money if you want to work hard, but wants to contemplate on marrying someone solely because of their money not because you genuinely want to share a life with him. Life in this dunyaa is very short, lady. Think about hereafter. You ain't in a situation where you're desperate to marry him, so don't plan to take advantage of someone who has done no harm to you.

Besides, your parents want the best for you. They're doing what a responsible parent aught to do. Don't disappoint them by agreeing to a marriage that you honestly don't want to get into. Be upfront with them and with the potential husband that you aren't comfortable getting into.
 
7 figure income is cap, he's probably waffling.

But if he's wealthy and reasonably kind, do it. Be ahead of the game cause everything that matters to you right now like those Samsung Korea singers will probably be irrelevant when you're 30-35.

Don't listen to secure your own bag types!!

Make sure his deen is good and stuff like that.

I and no other men on this site have no right saying don't marry rich, but make sure you like the other things too incase something happens.

If he lost his money could you love him? Make sure this is the case so that it doesn't go bad if a big test comes.

Other than that go for it, a big paycheck to women is like a big chest size to guys, a rarity that nearly overrides every other factor in marriage.
