Does income really matter?

I have to ask. I am curious. I really don't care what a guy makes as long as he is educated and loves what he does (OK I don't want to date the guy that works at McDonald's) My girlfriends are very adamant that income level must be high and certainly above what they make. I don't care about that. I want someone with similar interests, that is kind, loves me, good with kids. Those are my top priorities. Does that make me weird? Am I really out of the norm?
I also have lots of single mom friends that would prefer someone without kids. I think I would prefer someone that has kids. That way I could see how they interact with their children, and they would at least have an idea of what it takes to raise children. Men who are without any have no idea of the time constraints or energy that children take.
What do you all think about this?

Well, that is a good thing because a lot of wealthy men are idiots!!
I dated a guy who worked in the Bahamas, had his house and family in Canada and his exwife and kids lived in California. Money was his God and his life was a wreck. I felt that if a good paying opportunity arose he would bail and take that over me.
There are a lot of fun things couples/singles can do that don't require much money. I love the beach, taking long drives (although that require gas), and so forth. I admire men who can handle their own even through tough times, and not gripe about it. Because after all, life is full of rollercoaster rides. I'm on a constant ride, but guess what? Like yourself, I brace myself and see the ride through.
As long as your partner doesn't have a problem with your situation,then it's all good. And for those who can't accept you for what you have or don't have, toss them out and keep moving ahead.
At my age, I'm just not willing to deal with anyone who doesn't have their priorities straight, regardless to what type of job they have or income coming in. I'm not accepting applications from any passengers who don't have any potential of ever getting in the driver seat.
Income itself doesn't matter, but income compatibility does.
