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

I agree. I don’t think it’s shallow or silly to be jealous of her.

I for one am not jealous because of the ugly expensive car or mansion.

I’m jealous of her early smarts and realizing the importance of finding a guy who can provide.

I’m jealous that she’ll never have to worry about money.

I’m jealous that she will have comfort and security her whole life.

Her children will have access to the best of the best.

She will not have to work her butt off and be upset trying to please bosses.

She can focus on herself and her family.

Well how about this?

I never have to worry about money. I will inherit a large sum from my parents, and DH earns a very high salary as well. I don't earn as much as him, but even by DCUM standards I earn a lot. I work at home, and I have a ton of job flexibility. My boss is really nice, and he and I have a lot of mutual respect for each other.Before this job, when I wanted to take time off and just do a minimal amount of consulting work, we didn't even have to cut back on the amount of paid help we have at home.

And I have a PhD from an HYPS school, with all the respect and prestige that comes with it. DH respects my intelligence, and he considers me an equal in every way. And I get to apply my education to something that's interesting and useful without having to worry about making ends meet.

I am sure OP's niece is happy...but I don't understand why she thinks that's the only formula to being happy. I loved school and never had to cram for tests...I just got to learn about cool stuff that I found interesting from some of the smartest people in the world.

This post might finally make me quit DCUM. So, thanks actually.
