I just accepted that I would never have any money while also holding on to a romantic/bohemian idea that money was somehow inherently bad.

When we moved into my place he started paying a portion that we both found acceptable - cuts me a check every month, +/- other things we need to balance out for other expenses or someone paying for someone else.It may not sound romantic, but I think it's an important part of a healthy relationship.  

It not your job to come up with reasons why everything "might" work out, or transfer romantic dreams from a novel into the situation.Argh.  

I'm invested with friends, my romantic partner, family and some folks who are one step short of being a stranger.  

Think carefully about whether it is wise to invest with a romantic partner to whom you are not married.

I have this romantic vision that I will have a perfectly organize filing cabinet with leases and things, but in all honesty, it might be a total disaster for me to take it all on.  

I am so blessed that my business partner is also my romantic partner.Quinton, not everybody is into real estate (crazy, I know!)

The goal is to share your life with a romantic partner, not to silo parts of it off, and likely she feels excluded from that part of your life.

The point of the article was to introduce a thought experiment to help folks who financially suffer under common misconceptions, as millions of aspiring homeowners are romantic about real estate, and spend more than they budgeted for that bigger house or bigger yard, or a chefs stove that is a total and utter SUNK COST, and then justify it by parroting that "Your home is your biggest investment" expression.

Romantic, boutique hotels like the Shinola, The Foundation, The Detroit Club Hotel are plentiful that we will all once again feel comfortable in visiting.
