What is more important to women these days, getting rich?
Or having a good husband? I have some friends who swear women left them for a better off guy (who didn't look as good but had more money).
Please help? Women, you can reply, as well as men, I just need to know are women basically good inside, is this only a few women, or do most women like money better than having a good husband?

I would choose having a good husband over anything in this world especially money....you can always work and make good money and be proud that you earned it but you cant make a good husband and they are hard to come by....i would like to hope there are more that would prefer a good husband rather the money but these days i dont know !!

You might find that women are not that shallow. True, some may be, but so are some men. By the way, I'm male, 55 years old. I've been around long enough to see that women make choices in men for MANY different reasons. I've even seen guys come out of jail and find a good wife and have a good life with her and she with him. Please don't be so shallow as to think that women want a guy as a toy, or as a sugar daddy. You will be surprised at what women will tolerate in men. Good luck. :)

Actually I think most women (and men) just want some stability & security. My husband's a good man BUT not that good when it comes to money. Very impulsive on his spending & always has a get rich quick scheme which always has the opposite affect but I still love him and have stuck by his side for nearly 13 yrs. I'm not saying that I have never wanted to leave or never will because even love can only carry you so far before you get sick of all the stress that comes with having to deal with financial worries ALL the time. I would just like to be comfortable not rich

Personally, I have gone for the good guy. When I got married, I knew my husband would not earn too much. I knew we would earn just enough for us to be comfortable. That's where we are now and likely to be in future. I would never leave him for money, nor would I harass him for more money. Could we use more money? Sure... it would be nice to travel a little better, be able to afford a house and be able to spring for some of the friends'/relatives' trips (we know they would love to travel but don't have enough money). But it's not worth the time spent apart, nor the stressful lifestyle.
To answer your question - I chose my husband with full knowledge that we won't be rich. I don't regret that at all. If I had to do it all over again, I'd still choose him.

I'd rather be successful and happy on my own than be dependant on having any husband. And since I actually don't believe in marriage, it's kind of a moot point.
Yes, there are gold diggers out there. Some are men, and some are women. There are also people who only care about looks, and some are men, and some are women.
Neither gender is morally worse than the other.

Most women I know just want a good man that is honest, decent, polite and respectful, regardless of the money he makes. HOWEVER, women also want a man that is financially stable, meaning, that he can take care of things just as well as she can. Its not so much about the money, but more about whether he is a responsible person and can support himself and/or help support the two of them if they become a couple living together or married. Good luck!

Having a good husband is more important ~ we have 'had' and 'had not' in our marriage as far as money... and honestly, we had a greater relationship when the money was tighter because there wasnt so much 'stuff' to distract from our relationship. What is on the inside is so much more important than what is on the outside (looks/money/things/etc)

well i married a guy who doesn't make more than $20,000 (i just did our taxes) and I love him more than anything. we got two kids and we're happy. now sometimes i wish we had the money to buy expensive things, like a hot-tub or maybe a second car, but it doesn't matter, cause we can save up money for it and eventually get it if we want it that bad. we still have fun on the weekends with some beer and a movie. that's what counts.
some woman are gold diggers, true. they want a comfortable life style and security. which isn't a bad thing to want. but for me, I'm happy like i am. if i love someone and he happens to be rich, that's the cherry on top.
so to answer your question, yes there are woman out there who don't care for money. I'm one of them, so i know there are more.

I would rather have a good husband than a rich one. Money isnt everything in my life, as long as I can live with what I got I am happy.

Don't know what this has to do with religion category, but I chose to answer anyway.
But, I agree with others. There are men and women who do this. Could be money, cars, looks, career. Once they figure out those things don't equal happiness, I think they either keep trying, or get real and try to find someone who they are compatible with and will treat them well.
I have been married three times. My requirements were that they work (and I did as well), that they love me, and that they take care of themselves hygienically (showers and teeth). But, there were always things that broke us up, so it didn't help me to NOT go for money. That would help, but it would never make the decision for me
