- how old were you when you met? I was 17. He was 21
- how did you know he is or would be rich? I didn't really think about it. I wasn't looking to find a husband, and don't think wealth would be something I'd consider
- is he a good husband otherwise, too? he's an awesome husband.

So you were in college and he was a working adult? And you were 17???

Lol, he was a first year law student. I was a freshman in college.

I am at 1% NW and 3% income for my age as a woman. Having hard times finding a match by the lifestyle: no interest in going back to cheap sushi places with my date where I wouldn't even invite my friends. How long did it take you online to find a "financial and lifestyle" match?

Being high NW lowers a woman’s dating prospects.

You do sound like a materialistic, big spender.

You can be a big spender when you earn a lot.

Yes women do tend to be prone to lifestyle creep.

What’s a lifestyle creep for some people could be a bare necessity for me. I simply don’t have time to spend half a day grocery shopping on weekends, or repair a poor quality car. I cook very well from high end ingredients at home and only would go for fine dining places once a month for experiences (eg dress up, dine on nice plates something I wouldn’t have time to cook at home). No point for me for cheap takeouts or places as it takes 15 min to fix a dinner on my own. I save a lot still, contributing 60-80k a year into my pension plan, so I am not a big spender relative my income. I consider myself very reasonable just picky about lifestyle choices. I don’t stay at Ritz when I travel but not Holiday Inn either: I rent nice apartments with modern appliances

And obviously I am not in debt or anything, with over 5 million NW.

Wouldn't it be funny if all these (almost monthly, if not more) "marry rich" threads were created by the same OP - who is a man? Hmmmm.......

37
He went to top schools, had great jobs and multiple investment properties. But I did too. We were/are equals.
He's a good dad and very loyal.

In your situation I’d be okay with marrying someone who made $180-$250K+ with a solid prenup; bc your premarital assets would be protected anyway.

This thread is more like: how do I marry an equal ? Because you know, all men are after beautiful expensive looking women but then they can’t live up to her standards. Looks are prerogative and signs of wealth, particular in middle age. These women have access to expensive treatments, diets, sports, brands etc.
Date someone who’s fat and wears sweats to restaurant if you want a “low maintenance” not “lifestyle creep” woman.

The issue is not on my side at all! It’s the men I meet out of a sudden become tense about my lifestyle choices, think they shouldn’t be even giving flowers or I should be paying for everything, or I need to scale back to “save” for the future. It’s the class issue that comes up. The hardest test for couples is not poverty: it’s having more money! Particular when men face a woman who’s way higher on the NW ladder.

Perfect example of average guy failing up; most men, even the average ones if educated will eventually out-earn most women.

Because most women take time off to have kids

And men work more hours, and will take on the difficult, dangerous, dirty jobs no one wants to to in order to be providers.

That’s actually already proven not to be true. Women are applying but not allowed into make dominated, hugger paying fields. Unless you are talking about construction. But a female structural engineer, construction manager, or an architect will face stiff discrimination.

Male dominated, higher paying - typos

- how old were you when you met? 25, turning tricks on Hollywood Blvd.
- how did you know he is or would be rich? He gifted me a $30,000 shopping spree
- is he a good husband otherwise, too? Yes.

Prenups are regularly thrown out in court

No. Post nips are prenups not so much. Also her assets would be premarital. But with her attitude I’m not sure why she would want to marry unless she wants kids in which case she will have to risk losing half her future earnings like the rest of us.

Responding to this, I don’t want kids or marry. I do want to find a partner in a similar position and views to co-habilitate and enjoy joint retirement on what we both earn.
