Even if you're not swearing off a serious relationship, you're almost certainly swearing off having children. And this is an interesting thing because my attitude toward having children wasn't the same in my twenties as it was in my thirties. Children weren't a serious consideration at all when I was younger, but after I met my now wife, I began to want children far more seriously.

Or maybe he is living/want to live somewhere cheap. In my country (still in club of rich countries and part of EU) will 80k/year puts you in rank of 1% by earning.

Even if you are not living in somewhere that cheap, 80k should be enough to afford you dating, children (or two) and probably even enough to live off that one income stream.
