I Married for Money. Here's Why I Regret It.
I HAD MORE MONEY THAN I’D EVER DREAMED, BUT I FELT EMOTIONALLY BANKRUPT.
KEY POINTS
- Money cannot buy love, but money increases the chances of finding love, and love decreases the need for money.
- A higher income is associated with less daily sadness but not more daily happiness.
- A partner should not be a means for your success, but one with whom you share joint flourishing.
- What Women Say About Money and Love
Here are random citations (appearing mostly in Reddit) from women, on money and love.- “I met a woman who was married to a member of one of the wealthiest families in the world. One day, on a plane journey, she sat next to a completely ordinary guy with a completely ordinary job, who was easygoing and kind. They fell in love. She left her husband, married the ordinary guy and they are still in love after many years together.”
- “Nothing in life is free. Marrying him just for the money means you have been bought and sold. He will expect a certain level of performance from his new acquisition (not just sex) or you will be out the door.”
- “Frankly I don't mind being bought and sold; marriage itself is a transaction. I don't expect a Mercedes, or anything of that sort. The marriage will still have problems, money or no money, so why not?”
- “I absolutely do not regret not marrying a rich man.”
- “Money will not ease the stress of marriage if you do not have a loving relationship.”
- “There's nothing wrong with marrying a rich man. But do marry for love, honor, respect and compatibility.”
- “Money won't make your life joyful; it will make it comfortable until you want more. It will never be enough. Find someone who brings honest joy into your life. Money is a bonus.”
- “I’d rather marry rich, definitely; it’s so much easier to do creative things when you already have money.”
- You can buy a relationship, a marriage and sex. But are those things true love?
- Money doesn't buy love, but rather opportunities for finding love.
