In the Words of MyCheekyDate
One thing we often hear from daters is a question about how much a person should make in a year — as if love came with a minimum salary requirement.
But as we watch so many layoffs unfold across industries, it saddens us to think that some daters have set a predetermined income minimum for a potential partner. Because the truth is, that number can change at any time. You could have an amazing job one day and face a layoff the next.
In today’s world, that seems like an awful thing to build a relationship around.
💛 The Ladder of Success Is Always Moving
At MyCheekyDate, we believe that the ladder one is on at any given time is not necessarily where they’ll end up. The ladder of success is just that — a ladder.
Many people who are climbing are on their way up, and many who appear at the top may someday find themselves stepping down through circumstances beyond their control.
It’s all part of life’s natural ebb and flow.
💬 What Really Matters
We believe that ambition, goals, and drive — not current income — are the real markers of potential and partnership. Those are the qualities that never fluctuate with the market. They can’t be laid off, outsourced, or downsized.
When someone has the determination to move forward, no matter where they are right now, that’s what creates success — and that’s what builds lasting relationships.
💖 Love Runs Deeper
At the end of the day, it isn’t about a dollar, or what someone earns today, or might lose tomorrow.
It’s about something far more lasting — the energy, perseverance, and inner strength that define who a person truly is.
Ambition endures. Drive endures. Love endures.
And those are the things that make a partnership strong — not what’s in a paycheck, but what’s in a person’s heart.
