Nollywood actress and media personality Toke Makinwa has weighed in on the issue of financial compatibility in relationships and marriage, sparking fresh conversations online.
Speaking during a recent episode of the MENtality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the media star shared her thoughts on dating across different financial levels.
According to her, she strongly believes that people should consider dating within their financial bracket, noting that significant financial gaps between partners can create complications in relationships.
She further explained that, in many cases, some men tend to pursue women who are financially above their own level, only to later describe such women as being materialistic when challenges arise in the relationship.
Her comments have since stirred discussions around money, expectations, and compatibility in modern-day relationships and marriages.
Her words…
“I am a big believer of date within your age and within your class. That way there will not be stories that touch. You will have a good girl at home, a girl who will even make dinner with her own money when you don’t have. Yet, some men will still want to cheat on her with a woman they can’t afford.
“Heaven forbid you end up with a guy who hasn’t blown. The day he blows that is when you will know his true personality. And that scares women. Money doesn’t change people, it just reveal who the person is. So many men are treating women who sacrificed everything for them badly.”
