Is there anything better than marrying a rich guy you met in college?

I feel sorry for you, OP. Truly I do. Your mind and world are so small and circumscribed.

She's cute but not the prettiest. She's not bright. She had fun in college, fun after college, married a schmuck rich kid who "manages" car dealers and is pampered. She's doing better than 99 out of 100 women her age that I know. Her template is one to follow.

being an astronaut

being the top bill at the MET

being a senator

being mother teresa

inheriting that money from your parents, who just happen to die when you are 25

inventing a cure for cancer

This whole premise is so grossly materialistic, grasping, greedy, and misogynistic I don’t even know where to start.

You’re gross.

How did she get into a “competitive” (your word) if she’s not that bright?

Does she love him?

I know of a family like this. The rich son married his college sweet heart from a poor family a few years after college. She was and is a very nice, high quality person as far as I can see. They had 3 children and lived in a beautiful home with a luxurious life. He proceeded to cheat on her repeatedly until she was forced to file for divorce. She now lives in a modest home and shares custody of her 3 children. I don't know the details of what she "got" in the divorce, but a 30-something son of a rich guy probably doesn't have a lot of assets in his own name.

He'll be balding middle aged man and in flyover country. Slim pickings.

Not if he's rich. The older you are, the more money matters and the less looks matter (within reason). There are loads of aged 30+ women that are burned out and would be quite happy to be some rich guy's second wife.

He’d have to be *really* freaking rich to make that palatable.

State schools are classified as somewhat selective. Very and super selective would infer challenging to get into (Ivies, GU, UVA). Somewhat means anyone with a B/A- average can get in.

Went to NYC after college, has big city fun for a few years working low-prestige jobs, still keeps in touch with the rich guy. Marries the rich guy at age 27. His daddy owns new car dealerships in flyover country. Expensive wedding, move into a custom new $2m lake house in flyover country right after wedding, she drives a new luxury SUV every day. They are the big fish in a small pond.

Template: Stay in shape and sink your claws into a rich boy in college, then reel him back in before your looks fade.

I get that they are in the car business but a new car every day seems gauche. Also you'd have to adjust the seat again every time. No thank you.

Grind away in high school, grind away in college, grind away in grad school, marry and grind away at careers for a $900k mortgage in MoCo. Or be cute and carefree and find some schmuck rich boy from flyover country to marry and be a housewife in a lakefront mansion while driving a brand spanking new luxury SUV to yoga.

Rich flyover boys are easy marks. Too many women squander their prime chasing big city high 'status' success and flashy coastal men.

Far better than that is marrying a hard working poor guy in college who goes on to make it big. This way, the guy has a good work ethic, and you don’t have to ever spend time appeasing in-laws. Indeed, I know people in your nieces situation who have been cut off.

There are generally no trusts or prenups in the situation I’m describing, and so half of all money earned is legally the wife’s (or husband, in a same sex couple). There is far more security in that kind of situation.
