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

Eww, this sounds like a miserable life to me. I give your niece maybe a couple years before she starts overdoing the prescription painkillers.

In a few years... kids, private schools, kids travel sports, yoga, Whole Foods, lake activities, travel, probably a winter or summer home acquisition. Yes, a miserable existence.

I get it that some people might like that kind of life, but that sounds dreadful to me.

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.

Yup. Have a couple family “friends” that married well at a young age. They were pretty and average students and marrying well was the best thing they did in their lives. Until of course the parents’ started controlling their lives, the husband got depressed and became abusive, and the young woman was left with divorce papers, no real career, and a kid to boot. I’m sure things will turn out better for your niece though.

I wouldn't be privy to the existence of a prenup, but both of their names are on the mansion, according to a tax lookup. I doubt there was a prenup. Flyover people aren't as cynical as big city sharks.

Wouldn't be too sure of that. Her FIL didn't get rich blindly trusting everyone he met.

There’s a reason painkillers are abused by people living that kind of life. But you keep daydreaming and living vicariously through your 20-something niece if that helps you cope with the realities of your life, whatever that may entail.

You’re gross.

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.

Because I'd honestly rather be "grinding" then a doing nothing much as a housewife? You don't get that?

So bitter. Tons of people marry well and end up very happy. But carry on and keep pretending like you're better.

You actually are unable to grasp that I don't care about luxury SUVs or cars at all for that matter. Amazing.

Good for them. Hope your niece and your daughters don’t end up in a crappy situation like those other women.

Same. Luxury cars and diamonds mean nothing to me. And I’d rather be in a position that I know I can support myself if anything were to happen to my DH. Same thing I plan to teach my children, especially my daughter’s.

What is so so special about a new luxury suv? They are a dime a dozen in this area.

It mean nothing to me either. I live in a great big city, married to a wonderful successful man, a job I love, wonderful kids, great house, travel around the world for work or on holidays with my family, financially confortable, own few properties. Don't own a luxury car (find it obnoxious), don't own diamond (means nothing to me) don't go to yoga (not a fan), but go surfing, sailing and skiing regularly.
That's my kind of life but to each its own.

Yep, there is - being a rich woman yourself. I'm not required to do blowjobs on command.

How about putting yourself through college, becoming a self made millionaire and (at 30) marrying the hot guy with a big d*ck and an even bigger heart?
