It is certainly a factor they consider. Mostly because they would rather find a way to be somewhat comfortable with a partner. Saima is personally pretty comfortable financially – although they know full well that it’s still somewhat okay compared to wealthier areas in the continent. So what seems to be important to them is that they even feel remotely comfortable dating. 

They want to be self-reliant and self-sufficient, even more so than they are currently. They make a point to handle their business well and still live a decent life. And thus prefer partners who are able to do the same. It does not mean they have to be rich. Saima is definitely aware of how one could live on relatively little and be fine.  It’s something they’ve done for most of their lives. In fact, they have some reservations about dating rich partners because they don’t want to give off the wrong impression and tend to be on the more cautious of sides. It also makes them question why such partners would show an interest in them in the first place. They don’t want to ask too much of anyone or take advantage of them.  There’s a lot of anxiety around wealthier partners – that they may not ever actually mention to said people unless in private.

So as long as a partner can keep on top of their responsibilities, Saima would be more than happy to date them.
