The saying goes if you marry for money...You will earn every penny of it...I could never do it...Way to independent!....I would imagine those dommes seeking tribute would have no problem...Since they are bought and paid for on a daily basis.

money is overrated.

Its usually people who have plenty of it that say that.
Like me lol

Wealth may not actually buy happiness but it sure does smooth the way. Not needing to worry about any bills, being able to afford the best in medical care/schooling & housing makes life easier. In turn when life is easier it brings the opportunity to live as you wish.

I wouldn't marry a jerk for money but I would marry a nice guy with wealth over a nice guy with debt. Shallow?
Or realistic?

Having lived both ways I know what I prefer.

Wealth is a funny thing. We all define it a bit differently. I've been fortunate enough to have lived both ways myself. Yet I know money isnt the be all end all for me. We all see the unhappy masses searching for something they dont have. All those Married folk that we call names out looking for that missing peice. Most are stuck in the bed they've made for themself due to money. When I look at my last 5 years and the bumps I've been through cause I didnt stay in a marriage where I was miserable. I see now how staying would have been a whole lot more comfortable in many ways. I could have looked else where to provide those other needs .. but I didnt.
What I've learned is poverty is a cell, very similar to house arrest and solitary confinment. Knowing what I do now does color my choices, but I cant compromise myself for a check book, couldnt do it then and refuse to do it now.

"Wealth is a funny thing",You can be wealthy in so many ways..Money doesn't buy love but it sure helps out in the tought times..The question do you share your wealth.WE enjoy seeing what our small amount of dollars can do and often give more then we should..Share the wealth share the joy and love of life...BH

Well, if I am going to marry for money, I'm gonna make sure there is no pre-nup and the old geezer has no kids, so I inherit the whole bounty. I'm no dummy....

Not necessarily shallow or realistic - trying to be practical, but then if you want money, why not just make your own? Money does smooth the way in not needing to worry about bills etc, but achieving something for myself makes me smile more than the money that might come with success, and money is far better anyway when you know you've earned it for yourself.

As for the choice between two nice guys, one with wealth and one with debt... neither! Clearly if I have a choice, I don't like either of them enough for marrige. I'm not just looking for a "nice guy" I'm looking for someone who I genuinely get on with, understand to a good extent and with whom "sparks fly". I'll marry someone when I like them enough to consider spending the rest of my life with them, and I couldn't care less how much money they have or don't have, I prefer separate bank accounts anyway, whether he has money or not!

I think part of it is a generation gap between you & I. Priorities change once you hit middle age lol. Sure it would be wonderful to be making my own wealth but I can't & I'm not at all adverse to a beneficial marriage. At this stage in my life I would be content with a 'nice guy', especially if said 'ng' came with financial security.

oops. my sincere apologies to any who have needed breast reconstruction for medical reasons.

I meant purely cosmetic breast implants done for superficial reasons alone.

They DO COST --- yet I understand that medical statistics in the U.S. show approx. 200, 000 ( read that stat, would have to check up on current) women a year undergo breast implants for artificial enhancement alone.

"women whose average net worth is $1.7 million."
$1.7 mil?

wonder why I am bored? ;)

I fall into the <dont worry about bills> category, luckily.

Never able to stay on the subject I was very surprised to see someone from Dallas, Lacenleathergirl, use the word "geezer" Is that commonly used in the US? I thought it was from Cockney ie London dialect.

I've heard the word 'geezer' all of my life, it didn't occur to me that it was a shared word!

Just so everyone is aware...the average person in the world makes $2 dollars (US) per day. So if you have a job and live in a first-world western country, you are better off than a great majority of the global population. I also read a statistic that only 1% of the world population has a college degree.

People in the west really have no idea how well off they are...even if they are only living paycheck to paycheck. There have been polls done where they consistantly say that if people had a choice of where to live in the world, the great majority still say the United States. You may not get rich here financially, but you might make enough to make a living for yourself. And to an immigrant, that is a hell of a lot better than their country of orgin where such a thing may be impossible. It is also better than Europe where unemployment is a rising problem. Unemployment in France for example is in the double-digits and 55% of immigrants are unemployed. In the US, unemployment is under 5% and more than 90% of immigrants are employed.
