For the most part many of us have been face with this dilemma, specifically for most men. How much should I spend when I take a female out on a 1st date? Maybe it’s a person that we really want to impress, so we go all out, and utilize all of the resources available to make a great 1st impression regarding the total experience that you’re willing to pay for. As we stated in the podcast “Budgeting Nothing Natural to It”, we must consult our current budget, and financial status on what we can afford to pay for the date.   Maybe we have a high score on the Initial Financial Health Meter that is available at our website http://www.themikeandcliffshow.com/ifhc, and we have multiple streams of income that provide an enormous surplus of cash flow after paying for our expenses. From that standpoint all options are on the table, and we can go all out. But if we need to resort to paying for this date with our credit cards it will be like that hip hop song made by Main Source called “Faking the Funk”. Don’t fake the funk and make a false impression with your date, keep it real from the beginning.    Maybe days prior to your 1st date you have conversations discussing finances with your potential date, and fit into one of those conversations that your current financial situation determines the date may not involve the best restaurant in the city. Depending on the response whether good or negative that may provide a good indication of the person’s mindset regarding finances. If the response is negative, maybe going out on a date may not be a good ideal, since she or he would be expecting the world. Now, if the response is positive the experience has a high probability of being pleasant.     Get Your Financial Health Checkup http://www.themikeandcliffshow.com/ifhc   Do you have questions?
