- Background. ND Industries, Inc. ("ND") develops, manufacturers, markets, sells and distributes various coatings and other products for the fastener and other industries, including bottled adhesive products that are user applied, as well as the equipment utilized to apply such coatings. The Buyer (as identified in the related quote or Purchase Order) is interested in purchasing from ND those goods and/or services as more fully described in the Buyer's Purchase Order or ND's quote, as applicable (the "Products and/or Services"). These Terms and Conditions shall be deemed incorporated into Buyer's Purchase Order whether or not specifically referenced therein.
- Offer & Acceptance; Agreement. Buyer's acceptance of ND's quote and/or ND's acceptance of Buyer's written Purchase Order is limited to acceptance of the express terms and conditions contained herein. Once accepted, ND's quote or Buyer's Purchase Order, as the case may be, together with these Terms and Conditions, and any supplementary written information incorporated by reference herein, shall be the complete and exclusive statement of the parties' agreement and supercedes any prior discussions, negotiations, agreements, and understandings. Any modifications proposed by Buyer are not part of the parties' agreement in the absence of ND's written acceptance thereof. Any terms or provisions in the Purchase Order which are in any way inconsistent with those herein shall be null and void and the Terms and Conditions herein shall control. The placing of a Purchase Order or the shipping of goods to ND to be processed shall constitute acceptance of the Terms and Conditions contained herein.
- Purchase Price And Payment Terms. The price quoted by ND for the Products and/or Services is in U.S. dollars for the quantity shown, less any taxes, freight, duty, and custom's charges. The purchase price for the Products and/or Services shall be paid net thirty (30) days unless otherwise specified by ND in writing. If, in ND's judgment, the financial condition of the Buyer at the time processed goods are ready for shipment does not justify the terms specified, ND reserves the right to change these terms or to require full payment or partial payment in advance. All sales are subject to the approval of ND's credit department.
- Warranty. ND warrants the Products and/or Services to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal and recommended use and that the Products and/or Services will conform to ND's published specifications or, if applicable, Buyer's specifications accepted by ND in a separate writing. ND's obligation under this warranty shall be limited to providing replacement products to the extent of any defective Products and/or Services, or at ND's election, to the repayment or crediting of Buyer with an amount equal to the purchase price of such defective Products and/or Services whether such claims are for breach of warranty, breach of contract, or negligence. This warranty shall extend for twelve (12) months from date of the original purchase by the original buyer only, and shall apply only to those goods which upon ND's examination disclose to its satisfaction that the Products and/or Services in question were in fact defective. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE AND OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES ON ND'S PART. THIS WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY PART WHICH HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO ACCIDENT, NEGLIGENCE, ALTERATION, ABUSE OR MISUSE OR WHICH IS DEFECTIVE. ND MAKES NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER IN RESPECT TO ACCESSORIES OR PARTS OR CHEMICALS NOT SUPPLIED BY ND. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any parts purchased by ND from its vendors shall only carry the vendor's specific warranty, to the extent transferable to Buyer. No representation or warranty, expressed or implied, made by any sales representative or other agent or representative of ND, which is not specifically set forth herein, shall be binding upon ND.
- Standards. Many countries have adopted laws relative to standardization and product certification applicable to various products, including equipment and products such as those produced by ND.

- Inspection And Rejection. Final inspection of the Products and/or Services purchased pursuant to the terms hereof shall be at Buyer's premises unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Products and/or Services (or parts) rejected as not conforming to the Purchase Order, or as otherwise defective, shall be returned at Buyer's initial expense, including transportation and handling costs, but subject to reimbursement by ND upon confirmation of the defect claimed. Acceptance by Buyer of shipment of the Products and/or Services rendered by ND shall be deemed to have occurred no later than ten (10) days following receipt of such shipment by Buyer or Buyer's customer, unless a timely rejection has been made by that date.
- Shipment And Delivery. Except as provided in Paragraph 6, above, as it relates to returned processed goods, shipment of the processed goods shall be F.O.B. ND's place of business. Buyer shall be responsible for all delivery costs and shall bear the risk of any loss or damage in transit. Delivery dates, if specified by ND, are estimates only and are not guaranteed and are not binding on ND.
- Confidentiality And Non-Disclosure. Buyer recognizes that ND is the owner of certain confidential and proprietary information relating to the development and application of the Products and/or Services, which includes specifications, technological know-how and other types of information or data, including certain patents related thereto (the "Technical Information"). Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose, disseminate or otherwise publish to any third-party any of the Technical Information. Buyer shall protect from disclosure ND's Technical Information to the same extent which Buyer seeks to protect its own Technical Information from disclosure (but in no event will Buyer exercise less than reasonable measures). The confidentiality obligations herein shall not apply to any Technical Information which (a) at the time of disclosure is in the public domain, (b) after disclosure becomes part of the public domain other than through a breach of a non-disclosure obligation, or (c) was received from a third-party who acquired such information through lawful means and without any breach of a non-disclosure obligation.

- Patents. ND shall indemnify and save Buyer harmless from any judgments for damages and their costs which may be rendered against Buyer in any suit brought against Buyer on account of the infringement of any United States patent by any goods supplied by ND hereunder, provided that Buyer promptly notifies ND of the commencement of any such suit and authorizes ND to settle or defend such suit as ND may see fit, and provided further that Buyer renders every reasonable assistance which ND may require in defending any such suit. This indemnity shall not apply if Buyer has furnished the specifications for the Products and/or Services, or if Buyer has altered or modified in any way such Products and/or Services. In that event, Buyer shall indemnify and hold ND harmless for any claim of patent infringement.
- Taxes. Buyer shall be responsible for all taxes, duties, assessments and other governmental charges related to the sale and shipment of the Products and/or Services; provided, however, ND shall be responsible for U.S. income taxes related to amounts received by ND in connection with its sale of the Products and/or Services.

Any season should end with a spectacle. Something big that gets watchers talking, and those who aren't fans interested in the show. If you're not a fan after this episode, then it's not going to click with you. Because this was one the best endings to a season –and in many ways series finale – that I've seen in a long, long time.
Yes, there were a lot of characters to follow; the episode definitely jumps around, but it needs to be done. Setting up things for the next season – the second book in the series, "A Clash of Kings"– is unavoidable. Still, it was no less entertaining.
From the opening shot where globs of Ned Stark's blood drip from the sword that just severed his head; to the fantastic end sequence that made my heart race. This episode was the way you set things in motion, without boring people to death.
"Clash of Kings" is about the individual journeys that singular characters embark on. The war for the throne is still a major backdrop, but Daenerys, Arya, and Jon Snow's individual tales are what set the second book apart from "Game of Thrones." In a good way, trust me.
I love how there's this build up for who shall claim the crown as the rightful ruler of Westeros and it's not even relevant to the rest of the world. What lies beyond the Wall is the true danger, not who should be king. Even so Daenerys is the rightful Queen, and proves that she has claim that goes far deeper than blood.
The inner workings of what led to Ned Stark's death are fascinating. Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, Varys " The Spider", and even Maester Pycelle seemed to have had a hand in some form or another leading to Ned's demise. Not necessarily directly, but they're schemers and I love how even minor players have such big roles. Or how side characters really have to be watched, it's intricacies, the little things that make A Song of Ice and Fire so compelling.
I'm still astounded in one aspect of the entire series: the child actors aren't terrible. They are a huge part of this story and they are able to carry scenes so well. I have to attribute that to directing, they are fine young actors I'm sure. Still it's difficult to direct kids, it can turn out disastrous. It can be Phantom Menace or it can be E.T. Game of Thrones is the latter for sure; it receives great performances from actors I've never seen before, but will see in some capacity for years to come I believe.
The small troubles I once had with the show are all but gone. The scope doesn't matter so much. I was so caught up in the jarring transition from the wide establishing shot's then the quick move to a small room or corridor. It felt so small. You establish these grandiose places yet we're never outside, and if we are it's a small courtyard or a barn or something.
Those feelings flew away from me as I was entrenched in each sequence. It's very political, and the second book is similar, but it's more then just talking. People are fighting tooth and nail, not with swords, but with words.
Jaime Lannister lost to Robb Stark in the field. But when confronted by Catelyn Stark, completely blooded and bruised he was still fighting back, with his tongue not his hands. Catelyn and he had a verbal sparring match, and Jamie came out the victor. He actually made Catelyn misjudge what she was doing at the moment, thinking what was the point of beating a man that just doesn't care. Ah, but Jaime does care, he just uses his wit and a tongue sharper then any blade to avoid anymore physical abuse.
There are plenty of action scenes in Game of Thrones, it's a clash of words though, not steel.
Being drawn to each story that's being thrown at you – and there are many – is tough, especially when you realize that not all the individual tales may converge together and become one. Arya is on here own. Jon isn't coming to his brother's rescue. Bran is alone at Winterfell. Sansa is being humiliated and punished by King Joffrey, and Daenerys tries to establish her rule. All are separate stories. Some, like Arya's story don't affect the others in the least. You have to take that for what it's worth.
Evil does win more often then not in George R.R. Martin's world. Making the little triumphs of good – or who we believe to be good – much more special, little things like someone standing up for Arya right after she loses her father, or Sansa not playing the naive girl and spitting venom at Joffrey. It's the little things in life that are just.
Game of Thrones had a mixed start for me. I complained about the special effects, or lack of them; the small scale, despite the budget being undoubtedly high. And other issues like the diminished roles of the Stark's Dire Wolves. All that took a back seat to the acting and great writing. I enjoyed the novel; I may have liked the series better. I know I did.
I can't wait to see what's in store for next season. Hopefully HBO goes even grander in scale and scope and really spends time and money on the sets to make them really pop. If the final scene is any indication we will be seeing a bigger emphasis on CG, which will be necessary in some key areas, since each book becomes far more un-earthly or should I say magical, in time.
While Game of Thrones isn't for everybody – trying to describe it to someone who may be interested is a chore, "uhm, there's a lot of talking…I hope you like that?" For those that aren't scared off by the sheer political-ness of it will find enjoyment. And fans, like me, couldn't have expected – even with a theatrical adaptation – a more faithful telling of George R.R. Martin's epic fantasy series.

SpaceX just not only successfully launched a large Asian telecommunications satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) PERFECTLY, but it also did for a second time what the naysayers though was impossible, and this time they did it in the middle of the night in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. As impressive as it seems to do this at night, from a robot standpoint it doesn't make that much difference. What really does make a difference is that from that GTO trajectory the first stage booster is trying to land while starting much higher, much faster, and with much less fuel on board. There is absolutely no room for any error. Yet tonight…
I may have made a lot of noise and startled people.
All images are courtesy of SpaceX.
The Falcon 9 has cleared the tower
Approaching Max-Q
The first stage is almost done – look at how much the exhaust spreads out compared to that from two pictures above. A lot less air at 33.4 kilometers up.
MECO – Main Engine Cut Off
The second stage is working like a charm, glowing bright red, heading toward orbit
A view from inside the fairing that protected the satellite from the pressure of the atmosphere at supersonic speeds – a second or so after this the fairing separated, dead weight no longer needed once you get above all the air.
Out in the middle of the Atlantic, a flash of light as the first stage approaches, fast, hot, and about 99.99% out of fuel…
…to absolutely STICK the landing!
This would be where it got really loud here.
Meanwhile, leaving low Earth orbit, the second stage was now over Africa in daylight, the second stage having fired a second time to put the satellite into a perfect orbit.
So it was time to send it on its way to deliver television, pay-per-view, movies on demand, and emergency communications to Asia and the southwestern Pacific.
Damn, these folks are really good!
Thanks, SpaceX! It's a great way to end the day!

The eternal
By contrast, Kulaśekhara points out the great advantage of becoming the servant of the Supreme Lord. Lord Nārāyaṇa is the ruler of all the worlds (

"A person who has broader intelligence, whether he be full of all material desire, without any material desire, or desiring liberation, must by all means worship the supreme whole, the Personality of Godhead."
Service to Lord Nārāyaṇa culminates in our rejoining Him in the eternal Vaikuṇṭha planets. There the servants of the Lord share almost equally in His opulences. As Śrīla Prabhupāda used to say, "Become great by serving the great." But despite the overwhelming advantages of serving Lord Nārāyaṇa, we still misdirect our service in the pitiful way King Kulaśekhara describes here.
Sometimes a person adopts the impersonal conception of the Absolute Truth and thinks that by practicing austerities and cultivating knowledge he will eventually become equal with the Supreme in all respects: "I will give up serving and become the Self," he thinks. This resistance to
In this connection, Śrīla Prabhupāda tells the story of a man whose burning desire was to serve the greatest person. The man was born into a small village, where he became attracted to serving the village chief. He was very happy in this capacity and tried to please the chief in many ways. But one day a district governor visited the village, and the servant came to understand that his local chief was also a servant—of the governor. He then asked to be transferred to the service of the greater master. The governor accepted him into his service, and the man was again satisfied trying to please his new master. But then he saw that the governor was paying taxes and offering obeisances to the king. The man who wanted to serve the greatest managed to transfer himself into the king's direct service. Now he was completely satisfied, and the king treated him as a favorite servant. But one day the man saw that the king went off alone into the woods to worship and serve an ascetic. The king's servant later approached that

Devotees in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement may be shy at first, but they soon learn to forget their inhibitions while publicly chanting the holy names and dancing. They do this as a service to the Lord, for the welfare of all people, and they also find it ecstatic. In his

Back in Attitude Era, stories of backstage politics in WWE were nothing rare and while these things never get confirmed, there are many wrestlers whose WWE careers allegedly got halted due to it.
Although a lot of people believe that things might have changed with time and since WWE does not have any real competition now many believe that backstage politics may have taken a backseat in the company. Though apparently, it's not the case.
During her recent interview with Hot Ones, Sasha Banks was asked to elaborate a harsh reality of WWE and she revealed that the backstage politics is one:
"I feel at ease when I'm in that square circle. The hardest reality is knowing that it's a lot of politics, a lot of grueling, grueling traveling, which I didn't realize how hard that would be."
Apart from this Sasha Banks also talked about her first cousin Snoop Dogg and more.

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."
– Nora Roberts
High School seniors and parents of high school seniors are in that in-between time: where early admission letters have been sent out but regular admission letters haven't. While you wait, here are two things to think about when making that college decision. (Full disclosure: This probably isn't anything you haven't heard before. I talk about this with all sorts of school groups all the time.)
Thing 1 – Big school or small school? I grew up on a farm…went to a small Catholic grade school and a small high school. I needed to go somewhere bigger but not too big. I chose Marquette, in Milwaukee. It worked for me. A larger school like Uof I or ISU may have been a bit too much for this lil' ol' country boy. On the other hand, smaller schools have a lot going for them. Here at USF we preach about small class sizes, family atmosphere and teacher/student ratios. That's good if you like that kind of thing; bad, if you crave anonymity. With only 15 students in class, I know when you're not there. I know when you are scrolling through twitter rather than paying attention. I know that you live on campus and can't use "car trouble" as an excuse. You make the call.
Thing 2 – Choosing a major. There is outrageous pressure on students to pick a major right away and get started on a career as soon as possible. On one hand, I understand. College is expensive. You don't want to wander around for 4 years before finding your niche and spending 2 more years in the system, racking up more debt. On the other hand, at the age of 18, who among us – and parents, I am talking to you – knew what they wanted to do for the rest of their life. I certainly didn't. I went into Marquette as a theater major and came out as a broadcasting major. (My poor parents….It's only now that I can feel the anguish they must have felt when young Brien said "I think I want to be an actor!") The point is, some students know right away. Some think they know. Still others have no clue but feel they have to pick something. We (USF) spend a lot of time exposing freshmen to all of the majors and career options. Some students change majors. Some don't. I just hope we are reducing some of the anxiety that an 18 year-old feels when faced with the biggest decision of their young life. Parents: please give your kid a break if they call one night and say they don't want to be an education major (or biology or English) anymore. Over 50% of students change their major at least once.
I told you all that to tell you this: Calling all high school seniors who have an interest in writing, broadcasting, graphic design or media in general. I am also calling your parents. Mark down March 15 at 5pm. It's the second annual CMMA/Mass Communication Alumni Network presentation of "A Communication Degree! Now What?" Alumni come back to USF to talk about how they used their communication degree out in the cold, cruel job market. Last year we had a diverse selection of CMMA/Mass Comm alumni speakers from a golf association, health care organization, educational nonprofit and a major concert sound reinforcement company. This year's line-up hasn't been set yet but you can be assured that we will cover a wide range of career opportunities in the field.
So, even if your not considering USF as a college choice, please come by for some refreshments and some insight into the wild, wacky world of communication and media. I will update the event information here and on the CMMA facebook page when the speakers are finalized. See you on March 15!
"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."

After all the months of waiting, the day has finally arrived; my big brothers wedding day!
I expected to wake up feeling anxious this morning, seeing as I was going to be wearing a bridesmaid dress and heels in front of a few hundred people, but I was surprisingly calm as I drove down to the hairdressers. To be honest, it was so flipping early, I think I was still half asleep.
After a few hours of preparation, running from hairdressers, to home, to my friends who were putting my eyelashes on for me, to my Nan's to help her get ready, and finally to the brides parents house, I could have curled up for a 30 minute power nap, but it was suddenly time to leave for the venue!
I managed to hold myself together as I walked down the aisle in front of all my family, and seeing my brother waiting at the end for his bride-to-be made me instantly well up – I'm a sucker for a wedding.
The ceremony was beautiful, and although the weather outside was rainy and grim, it didn't stop us dashing outside for a few photos before heading in to celebrate.
By the time we sat down to eat I realized how hungry I was after having a Belvita biscuit bar for breakfast at about 8am, so I quickly tucked into my dinner before being whirled around the dance floor by my 3 year old nephew who insisted on taking me up to the sweetie table – a genius table full of sweets, marshmallows and chocolates to keep the kids (and adults with a sweet tooth – like me) happy!
I received so many compliments about how beautiful I looked which made me blush. My aunt even told me that I remind her of Adele because I'm beautiful, with a great figure and I'm my own person, I don't try and be something I'm not. It made me laugh at the time, but I realized later what a great compliment that was – being compared to one of my idols made me feel on top of the world.
The alcohol was flowing and the wedding singer was in full swing, making everyone want to get out on the dance floor. I left my brothers and Dad playing air guitar in the middle of the dance floor, while my new sister-in-law was dancing on a chair with a pint of Guinness in her hand. It had been a long time coming, but everyone, especially the bride and groom, had a fantastic day.

Quarterback A.J. McCarron has won his grievance against the Bengals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). He'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and finally get his opportunity to be a starting quarterback.
McCarron has not seen a lot of playing time behind Andy Dalton, but he has impressed in a limited sample. In the final four games of 2015, when Dalton was out with an injury, he passed for 832 yards and six touchdowns against just two interceptions.
Last year, the Bengals were able to keep McCarron at a very modest $735K cap number. Had they been able to tag him as a restricted free agent with the first-round tender, they would have been able to either retain him for about $4MM or acquire a first-round pick from the team signing him. Instead, McCarron will hit free agency completely unfettered, making a return to the Bengals unlikely. Already, head coach Marvin Lewis has dismissed the idea of moving on from Dalton as the team's starter this season and the Bengals can't afford to give McCarron starter-type money.
In addition to winning UFA status, McCarron will also collect on lost salary from the 2014 season, with interest (Twitter link via Rapoport). In that season, McCarron was placed on the NFI list due to a shoulder injury.
This year's unrestricted free agent QB class was already shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory and the addition of McCarron makes it even stronger. Kirk Cousins is the unanimous top draw, but Vikings QBs Case Keenum, Sam Bradford, and Teddy Bridgewater are also scheduled to reach the open market in March. Technically speaking, Saints QB Drew Brees is also a free agent, but he is widely expected to re-sign with the club before things open up next month.
Beyond those free agents, there's also likely trade candidate Tyrod Taylor and a handful of intriguing QB prospects in this year's draft. Teams with uncertainty under center like the Jets, Broncos, Browns, and Cardinals couldn't ask for more in the way of options.

2 Persons Lost Their Lives After a Medical Spa Procedure
Erica Beabrun and April Jenkins lost their lives after seeking the services from a Kennesaw medical spa. Both their families felt that their passing is a nightmare than is hard to understand.
Serge; Erica's brother thought that he will die ahead of his sister who is just 27 years old.
"I went into the room and saw my daughter lying and wondered what was going on", Erica's mom Elsie Albert said. Erica died while a cosmetic surgery was done in Opulence Aesthetic Medicine located at Kennesaw Georgia. According to the police report, she had a cardiac arrest while Dr. Nedra Dodds performed a buttocks reduction. On her medical records, it was stated that she was found to be lying on a pool of blood when found. And that she had a cardiac arrest 22 minutes before 911 was called for help.
"How can they wait for so long before calling for help? Even 1 minute can save life!" Elsie Albert commented. However, Dr. Dodds denied all allegations.
"Our call to 911 is sooner that what was written on the police report. This facility together with its staff can stabilize a patient and the information that you are getting are not correct", Dr. Dodge defended.
Erica's attorney was told that her client bled due to the fact that she was not bandaged properly after the procedure, a report that was denied by Dr. Dodds.
Another fatal case at Dodds facility happened in the person of April Jenkins. It was found out that her death was caused by fat embolism which resulted from Dr. Dodd's liposuction procedure. According to a report made by the medical examiner, April's diaphragm had perforations with her liver showing multiple puncture. On her police report, an employee from Dodds told authorities that April's case was the last procedure for the day. Because of this, Dodds was in a hurry to finish it. In the course of the liposuction, April complained that there was a burning and tearing sensations felt. However, Dr. Dodds told her to keep quiet. After all, she has already paid for the procedure. The report also stated that April was found to have a rag on her mouth.
Dr. Dodds was asked to comment on the rag on April's mouth but this is all he said, "I can't comment on something that did not happened. There are so many inaccuracies stated on the report".
Dr. Dodds stated his account of what he claimed to happen. But for the bereaved families, such is not the case. The story of their daughters' deaths all stemmed from one reason and that is due to the failure of the medical personnel to care for their patients well. And out of these experiences, one lesson is learned and that is to always choose for the best Medical Spa known to offer safe and satisfactory service.
A case of medical malpractice was filed against Dr. Dodds.

Here's 7 Ways You Can Let Money Ruin Your Relationship
When it comes to love and money, I like to combine the two. That is, I love the money. Because while affection doesn't depend on your wallet, food, dates and the prospect of a future do. Here are the ways money problems will make a mess of your relationship:
1. Your Insecurities Will Go Into Overdrive
Relationship counselor Maggie Tay says that, when couples fight about money, it's not usually a matter of materialism (i.e. gold-digging). It's more about security.
"Financial problems heighten existing insecurities," Maggie says, "Because impoverishment lowers one's self-esteem. For example, partners are more likely to suspect each other of infidelity during times of financial distress.
Inwardly they might be thinking 'I am so poor, what do I have to offer? Everyone out there would make a better partner than me.' Then even a small thing like being late for date, or taking a photo with someone else, becomes grounds for suspicion.
2. Your Lover's Friends Will Turn on You
Have you ever encouraged someone to dump their "loser" partner because he or she doesn't have a job? If so, you are a terrible person. Much like the other 99% of us.
Maggie says that: "Our friends and loved ones do not like to see us suffer. And when we are in financial distress they tend to shift blame to our partner. Our partner is the person who, in their mind, is immediately responsible for our well being.
They may claim that our partner is burdening us with all their wants, or that our partner is not pulling their weight in the relationship. Over time, pressure from such influences can drive a wedge between the couple."
3. Every Little Decision Becomes a Power Struggle
"When money is tight, our priorities become start to clash," Maggie says, "Because everything becomes an either-or proposition."
For example, say your cousin's wedding and her friend's birthday are within the same week. The two of you have $50 between you. Do you spend the money on your cousin's wedding? Or on her friend's birthday?
And as the money becomes tighter, this will affect everyday decisions:
"Where do you eat? Do you go shopping or go to the movies? Do you take the bus or take a cab? Everyone has different priorities – when tight finances force us to choose between things, everything becomes an argument or a negotiation. It makes both sides calculative."
4. You Learn to Hate Your Sense of Dependence
Sometimes, one partner is earning the money while the other has no income. You'd think the breadwinner would be the one who gets pissed – but it's actually the opposite.
"When we depend on our partner for income, it can affect our sense of self-worth. We feel like we're being a burden, and we may not be able to accept gifts without a sense of shame."
It also lowers our sense of self-esteem (see point 1). When you don't contribute financially to the relationship, you start to worry that your partner will look for someone else who does.
5. Poverty Can Change Your Lover Beyond Recognition
People switch personalities when they start running out of money. The next time your bank balance is running low, consider how your behaviour changes. The most common symptoms of Empty Wallet Disease are:
- Bouts of depression
- Extreme irritability
- Irrational thinking (e.g. reckless gambling, poorly timed career decisions)
- Loss of interest in hobbies and friends
- Reliance on alcohol, smoking, or other dangerous coping mechanisms
If money remains scarce for a prolonged period, your partner can become a different person altogether; even after financial recovery.
6. And Sudden Wealth Will Do It Too
"A bigger income often results in lifestyle changes," Maggie says, "We may start hanging out with new friends, frequenting different places, or taking up new hobbies.
This is a problem if our partner resists the change. Our loved one may not like our new group of acquaintances, or how we now choose to spend our time."
A gradual rise in wealth, however, tends to have the opposite effect.
"When couples feel like they have 'made it' together, fighting through adversity as a team, their bond tends to grow stronger."
7. Money Matters When You Consider a Future Together
No, not worries about the size of the wedding ring, or how big your condo will be (and if you meet someone like that, you don't need a wedding. You need anti-parasite cream).
The worries mainly focus on "the possibility of starting a family together". Maggie says that a fluctuating income suggests the impossibility of a settled life, and some partners can't handle that.
"When it's just the two of you it's easier to tolerate an irregular income, or a low income. But few people dare to be a father or mother without a stable income. And our partner may not be happy to stay in a relationship with no future of a family."
