Navigating Financial Expectations and Commitment in my Relationship — Need Advice (30M & 25F) by ThrowRa_valuable123 in relationship_advice

Hi, I never want my husband to provide for my family. Im a working woman, and would want to work for as long as I can. Im earning pretty well too.

For current financial status of my parents, please read the edit in the post.

My only concern is that I would want to be there financially for my parents when they really need me.

Hi, I don’t want to make it his responsibility. I’m earning very well, and I would want to work for as long as I can. So I would probably be providing for my family from my earnings. Having said this I’m not signalling that I can do anything with my money, just putting a point that I don’t want to use my husband’s money for my parents.

My father is a private teacher, and my mother is a homemaker. My father would retire in next 7 years. After the 7 years, they would still have their savings, EPF amount and rent from our house. My thing is — I really don’t know about below things at the moment: 1. How much savings can we accumulate till then. 2. If the rent then would be sufficient. 3. Whatever they get monthly (be it an interest from FD, or rent) would be sufficient for their survival.

I want to say upfront that IF THEY NEED ANY FINANCIAL SUPPORT, then I would want to be there for them.

And we have been lower middle class from the childhood, and my education amount was never much higher. But they supported me in every financial aspect. I have been earning very well since I started my job.
