[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a thread with a woman trying to get her son to “marry well”. I don’t know if I’m wrong, but as someone well off, it doesn’t seem like men have shown me extra interest because of it? I make 100k in my late twenties, no debt, and parents are worth around 15 million. I’m not conventionally pretty and men aren’t lining up to date me. I mean I don’t show off my wealth but my salary is easy to figure out and after a few dates it’s probably apparent I have family money. Are there actually men who want to marry up wealth wise? I guess I’m surprised.[/quote]

Statistically heirs get about 25% of family money. Everything else is lost in divorces, remarriages, trust fights, legal and management fees. So don't think you would be worth $15mm unless both of your parents are already 85 y.o.

You need to have assets titled to your name, and a higher income to consider yourself a candidate for a man who wants to marry up. You haven't earned anything yet, and your salary is low. Inheritance is also separate property, and your parents won't like it commingled. [/quote]

Do you realize how uncommon it is for a woman to be making six figures in her twenties without student loans? Are you delusional?[/quote]

Pretty common if you didn’t go to a shit tier school and majored in something decent and had even lower middle class parents who were education oriented first.

Or if you are hot and work in pharma sales, software sales, comms for finance industry, hr for finance in nyc…

Indian-American women with mid tier engineer dads who work for state gov or local contractors and stay-at-home moms go to t20s or flagship state universities all the time and graduate debt free and easily make 6 figs in their twenties.
