If I were to look at how much money I've spent since I've been with my wife versus how little I would have spent if I'd been alone it would add up quick. Here's just the big things.
$138000 new house
$33000 new car
$10000 wedding
Add in roughly $700 per month in bills I wouldn't otherwise have, her constantly rotating wardrobe, and anything she has ever wanted to get for our girls. I'd say about a quarter million in five years. And I would gladly double or triple that. She's worth it.

I must be a very cheap girl, because I don't want any of those things.
don't forget the $40000 routemaster!

How much does the average girl cost?
All your attention, autonomy, bravado, compassion, drive, ego, freedom, fun, health, independence, libido, machismo, privacy, reason, sanity, sweat, tears, and wealth.
Paid in full.
Paid in advance.

...seriously, I had a g/f once that things got really serious with. Well, part of the conversation one night revolved around her debt. She had 40,000 in debt from graduate school and living expenses. When I asked her how she planned on paying that off, she simply said, "Your going to do it -with some help from me maybe."
No thanks.
Since then, how a woman manages her money is very important to me. If she is the type that lives from paycheck to paycheck, I have a real hard time with that. Oh well, not a big deal, not like I talk to many of them anyway.

Wow, according to rekoil's statistics ...I was cheap, but then I'm not average.
Didn't like eating out.
Didn't even care if I went out.
Didn't want jewelry, new clothes, or presents.
No new car, no new house, no big wedding.
$15,000 house
$400.00 car I came with
$75.00 at the JP office
Relationships aren't cheap period though...with me it's always either cost me money or a some of my sanity. What is the price of sanity anyways?

You can get a house for 15,000? Well, maybe a house that will spontaneously erupt into fire because of poorly maintained electrical and gas systems. The cheapest house I lived in was for 35 000 in 1989. You can't get those prices here anymore.

Thats great man, so good to hear. You`re a smart guy, there`s so much more important
things than money. I would gladly trippel it myself, even if I had to work my fingers to the bone.

It's possible, and that was in 1998...I can do minor electrical & plumbing and came with my own tools...and trust me I needed them.
They had lamp cord spliced into the overhead wiring, the plumbing needed work, the furnace needed replaced, and the septic had problems, the woman that had it before had dementia and about 20 cats. Trust me, at first glance $15,000 looked overpriced, but it had a beautiful fenced in yard, the worst of the wiring had been updated, and it cleaned up nice.
