Ha, now that I’m older, it’s this.

But assuming I’m young like the OP asked: I would ideally want a man with a high earning potential, but that will drastically limit your choices. Men with money typically aren’t the greatest husbands.

I would rather have a good guy than a rich guy, BUT I would:

1. Not let him know about the money until after engagement but before marriage. That amount of money will change how someone sees you. You want to filter out for gold diggers, but also give enough time before marriage to see if he starts trying to spend that money.

2. Prenup and that money is yours. Not to be spent on frivolous things like vacations or toys. Use it to build generational wealth for your kids.

3. Go for a solid career because you never know what will happen BUT save that money in case you want to be a SAHM later on.

4. Probably the biggest one: get premarital counseling specifically around money and finances. Finances are the #1 cause of divorce, and you want to make sure you are both on the same page about money. And if you can’t get on the same page, don’t be afraid to break it off. [/quote]

Also, what does it mean to you be on the same page about money? What would you want to be on the same page about?

What if the woman cares about money and a certain lifestyle and the man does not care about the lifestyle beyond financial security?[/quote]
