It is completely fine to date a person who does not make as much money as you. What is important is that they are able to manage their finances and are able to afford their own lifestyle, and still have savings at the end of the month. Being mindful of one’s finances is a reflection of how responsible a person is. A financially callous person has difficulty taking care of themselves. If a person is unable to provide for their own needs, then the chances are very slim that they will be able to support you or take care of you in your time of need.
