Michelle Obama reflected on dating her now husband, Barack Obama, and how it all began during the start of his career, where he was not too well off financially.
The former First Lady did not hold back from speaking her mind when asked what it was like to date someone who wasn’t financially sound.
She shared how she married Obama not for his money, and that said so much because he didn’t have anything close to what he has today.
‘Would you be attracted to a guy who is not financially sound when you meet him?’- she questioned. Michelle shared, I think I married one!
She added how she left her corporate firm when she met him, and that was a major decision for her, but she stood by him through thick and thin.
She always wished to be with someone who could say to her that he got her back and therefore was willing to risk it.
“I would rather have other qualities in a partner than someone with a higher income than me!”- she added. Michelle elaborated further on how she wanted someone who would stick by her during the difficult times, and that also meant she would do the same, which included financial challenges.
