Why don’t women focus on making more money instead of bagging a rich guy?

Very contradictory post. So which one is it then?
Do you value time so after a certain annual income level or savings you both backed off on the office time and both do more reasonable jobs, for more family time? Don’t tell us he “backed off” in his 50s or 60s after all the tough stuff with the kids was done.

Or do you value money and economic security more, thus both of you keep working for the money and annual bonuses year after year. Ego too I might add. Some people are people pleasers in the work realm, way more than any efforts in the spouse, kids or family realm.

Not OP but you’re pretty dense if you don’t understand.

Isn't it obvious? It's easier to marry it than earn it yourself.

What is your problem? I’m a woman, concerned with my career, and think it’s disempowering to women for them to think that the only way to have a good life is to marry a wealthy man.

And frankly it seems like a lot more work.

I know plenty of guys who chased money. My husband went to a posh boarding school with a number of guys from old, formerly moneyed families that were on the decline financially. Every single one of those guys deliberately pursued and married significantly wealthier women.

I am educated, had a great career I adored, "bagged a rich guy," and chose to stay home indefinitely once we had our children. My husband has a lucrative career and I enjoy being home and raising our children. It would make no sense for both of us to work. While we could afford to outsource all other aspects of our home life, I don't want that. I want to be the one there with my toddler all day, when my older kids get home from school, and the one that cleans and organizes our house. No one can take care of those things as well as I do- because it is my house and my children. If I chose to keep my career, and my husband stuck with the same one he has- our family life would be difficult.

I didn't take OP to have an issue with someone staying home to take care of kids after they've married rich. I think it's fine if you choose to do the full-time mom thing. But what bothers me are the posters whose only goal seems to be to marry rich - which I find really bizarre.

+1. A homely woman with wealthy parents will find a partner.

Those threads represent the goals of a tiny subset of women. Most women don’t have that goal.
