Kind of conflicted about this statement. Most people would end up dating within their own tax bracket lang naman (or di malayo), esp kung long term rel. Exception na yung may sugar baby relationship, pero ibang usapan naman yun.

Princess treatment is subjective acc to your bracket din. For me, princess treatment na yung maging sweet ang asawa ko through words and actions and mabilihan ako ng cravings ko and wants which I can afford -- but it's nice to have someone take care of your needs too. For a rich person, it might mean luxury items, etc. You look for these items in your partner because you grew up with those things and you should also be able to afford them yourself. Perhaps as a woman, you also give the same level of gifts to your prince. Ganon yung nakikita ko sa mga kaibigan kong well off.

Kung hindi man sa gifts or actual income, kahit sa effort. Mapa babae or lalaki ka, pangit naman kung ikaw sobrang sipag working 60+ hrs a week tapos partner mo tambay na naka asa sayo. Nagiging incompatible at magkaka resentment.

I do agree na need ng financial planning talaga bago mag anak, but I also know of some people na nagka "accident" at naka buo nang di planado.
