[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know that saying "it's as easy to fall in love with a rich man as it is a poor man"? It's true. And smart. As long as you really do fall in love with him. Don't marry for just money but money is icing on the cake. It makes life easier and that is just a fact.[/quote]

If rich is a necessary element, then it's not icing. It's more like flour. [/quote]

If money is more like flour, then you are likely to end up just another divorce statistic.  The point is that you should be looking for the characteristics of the person that will make the two of your long-term compatible and if that person has wealth or a high paying job, that is a bonus.  If you make money a primarly characteristic that you use to select a mate, don't be surprised when your affection and tolerance of each other wanes after 5, 10 or 20 years and you end up in your golden years as a lonely divorcee.[/quote]

That's what I naively thought when I married my ex.  We were both well educated, working in jobs we loved, had the same values, goals, outlook on life (or so I thought), and we loved each other.  I knew he wasn't the type to make CEO, but that was ok with me.  He would be there for me and for our family.  Fast forward 18 years and he totally melted down, couldn't keep a job, was never home, decimated out finances and left me and our three kids deep in debt and penniless.  So now I'm a poor divorcee with three kids.  So yeah, I guess I should've filtered for money.  [/quote]
