Date Within Your Financial Class, Toke Makinwa Advises

Media personality Toke Makinwa has advised people to date within their financial class, saying it helps reduce unnecessary pressure and misunderstandings in relationships.

Speaking on the MENtality podcast hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Makinwa argued that financial incompatibility is one of the major reasons many relationships fail.

According to her, dating someone within the same income bracket encourages mutual understanding and support during difficult times.

“I am a big believer in dating within your wage 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,” she said.

Makinwa also spoke about loyalty in relationships, saying many women are afraid of building a future with men who are not yet successful because some change after attaining wealth.

According to her, money does not change a person’s character but simply reveals who they truly are.

“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 reveals who they are. So many men are treating women who sacrificed everything for them badly,” she added.
