I knew a lot of girls in college who thought they landed rich sweet Jewish guys from NY/NJ, but were dumped at age 25 and the guys quickly married Jewish girls they grew up with. Same for girls who thought they landed some old money wasp New England boys. Dumped. Targeting a flyover rich kid seems savvy.

You are using the third person to talk about yourself, or you're the second wife?

She's cute but not the prettiest. She's not bright. She had fun in college, fun after college, married a schmuck rich kid who "manages" car dealers and is pampered. She's doing better than 99 out of 100 women her age that I know. Her template is one to follow.

I'm pretty sure you are a troll...or an idiot. Even if this is the right thing for her, surely you understand why her experience cannot be used as a template for anyone to follow.

You're ignoring the custom build lake mansion, luxury cars, carefree privileged life, no grind up until that point...and all before age 30.

People here have to grind, get into top schools, grind at careers, office politics, grind to pay a mortgage on a crummy moco cookie cutter, hate life...slave away for 40 or 50 years to MAYBE (and probably unlikely to) afford the lifestyle a young airhead is enjoying because she married a flyover state rich kid from college.


TBH, most people in DC could live a life of luxury if they were willing to move to flyover country but very few want too.

It sounds like you have issues with your own life choices.

Not everyone is bagging on OP. But for a lot of people, there are better options, than burring yourself in a non-descript area, where your income depends on the car dealership run by FIL, to live a life full of SUV, build-in cabinets and yoga.
And you are talking about a simpler life in a rural area (which can be very nice), living out of your investments, and creating a business. That is more interesting to me that what OP is describing.

Basically if you’re a woman the best thing you can do for yourself and your children is to marry rich and marry young.

Everything else comes after!

Want a career? Easy with your husbands money funding your tuition after you pop out two kids.

Want a younger guy? Divorce your rich husband, get all his money and then date for true love.

He'll be balding middle aged man and in flyover country. Slim pickings.


Oh no. You are flat out wrong. There are countless women who want the lake house. I’m guessing you are talking about a Chicago or Milwaukee suburb here? He’ll be fine and do will his second wife and family.


Very slim compared to the countless fit prospects on the coasts. Have you been to Ohio-PA-MI-IN-IA-Wisconsin lately?

You can live very large in flyover (I just don’t mean the tubby people)and party like it’s the 80s.

There’s a reason painkillers are abused by people living that kind of life. But you keep daydreaming and living vicariously through your 20-something niece if that helps you cope with the realities of your life, whatever that may entail.


Yeah, because no career women and SAHMs around DC are abusing anxiety, antidepressant and pain medications! lol
