Kenyan digital creator Liz Jackson has stirred online discussions with her frank opinions on dating and finances, highlighting her preference for financially stable men.
In an interview with Mungai Eve, Liz shared that her lifestyle and business demands require a partner who can meet her financial standards. She noted that dating someone in a different financial bracket often brings unnecessary stress.
“Watu wadate watu wanawezana na wao. Saa hii stress yangu ni ya pesa kubwa. I need stock kama ya Ksh.500,000 kutoa stock yangu Mombasa, so we ukikuja na salary yako ya Ksh.80,000 tutasaidiana aje?” (People should date those they can match with. Right now, my stress is about big money like Ksh500,000 to get my stock from Mombasa. If you come with your Ksh80,000 salary, how will we help each other?).
She further argued that a man who cannot send her Ksh500,000 urgently is not the right fit for her.
Liz shared that she recently spent Ksh1 million on items such as a MacBook, an iPhone, shopping, and a ticket, adding that her needs are beyond what an average income can accommodate.
Liz also explained that her stance stems from fairness, saying she would not want to stress a man who earns less than her.
“If you’re earning Ksh150,000 and I earn more, I would not want to stress you.” According to her, this position is not about pride but reflects the growth of her brand and lifestyle over six years of hard work in the digital space.
Liz, a Kenyan digital content creator and influencer, has made a name for herself through platforms like SPM Buzz, where she has worked as a presenter.
Her remarks have sparked mixed reactions, with some praising her for being honest about financial compatibility, while others accuse her of being materialistic.
