Money & Relationships | Men's Round Table | A Black Love Series 

When you see men thinking like this...it keeps my hope alive ❤️

This group dynamic makes these conversations even more interesting.

Great conversation. As someone who previously worked in banking, keep your accounts separate. If you have a joint account, deposit household money only. Even that account should have restrictions. I've seen way too many times where the relationship falls apart and money disappears out of joint accounts and someone is crying trying to figure out how they're going to pay bills. Or someone takes out a loan/LOC, pulls all the money, removes their name off of the account and now the other party is responsible. Beautiful relationships/ marriages can turn into ugly court battles. Just err on the side of caution.

Once again, these brothers presented well. I really wish these segments were longer. Great content.

Love to see black men having these types of conversation with each other. We need more of this in our communities. Financial literacy is so important.

Stephon making some valid points on how they've done budgeting in their marriage. That's beautiful. On a light note i really admire Timon from a far. There's something about his demeanor. I enjoy watching this roundtable conversation. Much love from Kenya.

Solid conversation - are we trying to Win in life as a team? Or are we trying to compete with each other?

Great job! week after week you kings shine. Me being a black woman... I appreciate and celebrate you guys being transparent !!! Thank you, my kings

The most mature, sensible Roundtable to date...keep going👏

Needed to hear this. Just talked to my girl about credit, finances, and accountability and it blew up. This gave me the perspective I needed.

Money is scary for many couples. They don’t know how to talk about money. Their parents may not have talked about money or their parent’s finances were in shambles. When it comes to money and finances, you need to be just as compatible. They say that opposites attract. However, in relationships, when you are with someone who has different values and perspectives about money, it can be a battle.

Okay this is God speaking to me “You cannot be selfish in a relationship.” 👍🏾

Love this series... it is good to hear intelligent black men!

These men are so underrated you guys.. These are the things a lot need to learn about since I discovered them i watch one video a day!! 👏🏽 Good job brothers!!!

I think these guys are trying to sound "progressive" or open-minded or whatever. But in reality a man (or husband) does not get the respect or is not looked up to the same if he is making less $ than her. I don't care what they say, it just doesn't work in the real world, especially with black couples. A woman making more money is going to be domineering, disrespectful and treating that man like he ain't st** whenever they have a disagreement. And if she owns the house with only her name on it she is always gonna be threatening to put his a** out at the drop of a hat. I have seen this scenario too many times Men should always make more....Period!

Facts!!! Finances was definitely one of our issues with my ex husband.

Love this!!! More married men need to believe marriage is a "WE" and not and "I then you" relationship.

*We need more of this* However, *black women* on average out earn black men & this would be fine if this did not breed insecurity in black men. Men will say they want their woman to hold her own and then will turn around & feel emasculated by her achievements, when they could be putting that energy into fueling their ambition to make more.

Wish it were longer! 😩 Great topic 👏🏾

This conversation is 🔥 and deep! This’s trend that should go viral!

I love how these men explains how relationships should work together than separate to when it comes to the finances. Me and my bf have been together for over 2 years and he explains the finances as separate. I pay for myself alot in this relationship and since Ive moved in with him he wants me to pay half of everything. I give him what I can because I cant afford all. He makes 3 times more than me.

Great content and dialog. Love it guys. So mature and grown. Keep this round table going ❤🙏🏾💯🎯

How do u deal with finances when the other party has waaay more money than the other? Coz other party doesn't wanna feel like a beggar, other 1 doesn't wanna feel like they the only 1 always giving 2

It doesn't matter who makes more money in the relationship if you both don't have the same values and trust in each other to make a relationship work. You both have to be honest with yourself in how you value money. If money equals control and not leadership and partnership, that relationship is doomed from the start. Money does not make a man and both men and women should not use money as a way to control and manipulate. Communicate on how you both want to use your finances and know what qualities you want from each other to make each other happy and make your relationship as easy as possible.

That ended too quickly sigh

I think the real question is What is the money you make for? Is it for gambling, keeping up with the jones',to keep my look together, maybe it's for future kids. Whatever it is both should be on the same page. Common goals perhaps will mean more in the end. Thanks again for the video

I’m so glad I came upon this episode, my girlfriend and I are looking at moving in together soon and I think it’s an excellent idea to look at “household income” vs your monthly expenses.

Dang! This was getting good!!! Where’s the remaining of this episode located?! 🤔

many people forget you have access to the same account 🤦🏽‍♀️ this was well put, brothers, I learned a lot

Very nice and inspiring even as a woman!

Yes this is the gold I have been looking for.

Not to undermine the $100k in a year, but that’s not hard to make when you have skills that set you apart AND you UNDERSTAND YOUR VALUE. Don’t even need a college degree for that. I used to think that was major money, but I don’t see it like that anymore. We get paid on the level of demand for what we do, how good we’re at doing it and how hard it is to replace us. Most people are capable of making $100k/year, but don’t believe it. The only person that’s holding themself back is them.

😅🤗I enjoyed your conversation please make much more videos like this about different topics.

I loved ... How he didnt even realized he said " we " , until someone else pointed it out

Yep. It's the make ego about more money but it does depend on the attitude.

If you flip that guys scenario for a woman, it wouldn’t work that way 9 times out of ten. She makes 1 million and he makes 100k, she has to fight her hypergamous nature to want someone making more than her

If a girl/woman can't love when I don't have money 💰 then she should not expect me to love her when I have money. GENIUNE LOVE ❤️💯🌍✍️🌹

My goodness USA brothers, very articulate..

This was refreshing

That’s the every dollar has a destination each month. Joint accounts for house and separate for our own allowance and how we choose to spend it. I want me and my husband to live on one income (his) and invest mine and use for travel and things we will enjoy together. This way if one of us becomes employed for any reason the stress will not be totally burden on our marriage…we can coast a while. Pay check to pay check is divorce in the making he’s not doing his part as a man and leader of the household which creates insecurity for his wife and instability for their marriage. This isn’t Providing or protecting or a turn on 🥴

William gave some word there... 👏

Men find ways to bring additional income whether a side business or 2nd job!

LOVE THIS!!

beautiful beautiful

I make more money than ALL the men in Computer Science and Engineering on the managerial level… bc I know my worth and will NEVER except less based on my gender! I’m also the smartest and most experienced and most often the lead engineer/architect/ manager on most high visible projects! Women are very smart, especially Black women and we don’t except mediocrity!!

Very good...I like this conversation

I'm married and I financially support my husband. He doesn't work and had not worked since we met nor since married. I don't mind supporting my husband however I sometimes feel unappreciated. He will do anything for me. I'm starting to question how much longer can I be the only provider.

It is not the male ego. Men do not generally care how much a woman makes. The problem is her behaviour and attitude towards you. I would prefer that she makes more money. Her money is her money, mine is mine. We help each other when needed and take care of bills together.

From my experiences, men have to date down financially. She respects you less when yall equal or especially if she makes more

Needed to see this

Great topic. Thank you Men for sharing with us.

100% correct...a man shud always earn more unless otherwise cos its hard to fyd us women who wud love a man who may earn less and still respect him..its God

I’m gonna be honest. This is the first of these conversations to add much value. They mean well…but most of the others need to be more nuanced.

What is the balance between business and spending time with the love of your life? Is being treated like a business partner all the time ok? I just want his time his love his affection, but I don't want to disturb has peace either. I'll Indy find something to fill the void.

i think couples should have three account, one for me, one for you, and one for us...Most of the money should go to the 'us account'.

These kinds of a unbalanced relationships seem to set black men up to be emasculated. My men always made more $ and I could respect him for bringing home the "man money" and taking care of things the way a man should.

Need to fix your microphone the volume left because it not working

3rd on list 😌

Finances is not the number reason for deviorce. You can have enough money in a relationship to be comfortable its the deciding how your going to spend that money can be the reason why people divorce.

I can't hear

Is this a podcast

Kevin Samuel would have a complete whole perspective (differently) but the majority of men would take issue with a woman making more them per there egos!

I watched only the first 5 minutes and I am done. Why? No one is telling the truth based on what I've heard so far. Now the truth: A man who makes 1,000,000USD would keep and take care of a woman who makes 100,000USA without complaining. No woman would do that for a man!

💜💁🏾‍♀️✊🏾

Wow where are these fine brothers at are they single? Lol

Tim's comfortable with her making more money of course, but not marriage. Have cake and eat it too. She better get a dating/living together prenuptial agreement. Btw: re marriage comment, watch other videos.

Anyone notice the maturity level differences between the ladies round table and the men? Is everything laugh worthy??🤷 maybe it's just me. I do, HOWEVER enjoy the topics.
