Is it ok to just marry for money if you havent been able to find a good guy anyway?? I have dated many guys and have gotten so hurt. At this point, I feel like I will not be finding a good guy, so I might as well marry a rich man that I dont love. And if he becomes a jerk (which they all do) at least I will have somehting to fall back on. Thanks for your input.

No. It's never good to marry for money. You will be more miserable in the end if you do. You just haven't found the right one yet, don't rush things =) if you meet a gentleman, you won't feel that way. But you already know that =). I've dated many men who were jerks, and now I'm in a wonderful relationship with someone who is a complete gentleman; we've been together now for nine months =)

Wrong. If all they marry for is money and not love of the person, then they are users and gold diggers period. No matter how pretty you try to paint the picture, if a woman is looking for one thing in a man and that's a fat bank account, I have absolutely no respect for her and in my book she's a money hungry gold digger. When someone richer comes along, she'll dump rich husband #1 for richer husband #2. Of course, to each their own, I guess. I just find it a sad way to live.

I don't think that I could marry a man I didn't love, no matter how much money he had. My husband and I were dirt poor when we got married and now that we have been sending him to school we don't have as much money to play with as we used to, but its a sacrafice we make together. If I got a divorce and got remarried it would be for love. Money doesn't lead to happiness, yes it may make life much easier, but it won't make you happy and besides a lot of guys with money want a prenup. my friend is 29 and has a nice savings and has stated that when he gets married he's going to want a prenup. the right guy is out there, just keep looking.

No. Marriage for the wrong reasons is NEVER a good idea. It's along the same lines of marrying because you got pregnant from a one-night stand. Marriage should be between two people who truly love and accept each other. Otherwise, what's the point?

If all the guys you are with become jerks maybe you are looking at the wrong guys. Try something new/different. Will it ultimately make you happy to marry for money? Don't give up. Good luck to you.

That is a horrible idea. Marrying for money will do nothing but make you more miserable and unhappy. Have you ever met a woman who married for money and was happy? I am sure you have not.
Money is not worth it. Rather than wasting your time on money, look for a man to be a best friend. When you find that best friend then you will have found your husband. That is exactly how my wife and I met and we have a wonderful marriage.
Take care,
Troy

That definitely is not a good way of thinking. But ultimately it's your decision. Let me just say that marrying for money is never a good idea. No amount of money can buy you the happiness and love that a real marriage can.

I love what Dr. Phil says about marrying someone for money...
You earn every penny of it.
You need to be happy with yourself, regardless if you're married or single. You never know when the good guy will show up, but he won't if you're not happy withyourself. Good luck!

Sure, that's one answer, but do you really think you would be happy in a loveless marriage? Give yourself some time to find the right guy. If you do marry for money, I think you will find yourself very lonely and unhappy.
