Musing over the Anna Nicole Smith incident, I was thinking about the whole scenario where she was supposed to have married for money.
It got me thinking, how could anyone stoop that low? I have a relative who years ago said to me "only marry their cheque book and nothing else" :shock: I was outraged - (She's still single by the way).
When I married for the second time, I had such high hopes of being "better off" after being on my own for such a long time. How do we class being better off? Financially I was a little bit, but emotionally I was ten times better off, I was happy and contented!
We've been together nearly 10 years now and money has often been a struggle, I could never have walked out over money issues, what I have with Jay and the kids is much more important than money.

:laughabove: :laughabove: oh pink you crack me up!.. yes I have been in total thinking mode lately, it's been going on for about a month now. Haven't a clue why
Quite a number of things have happened in my life lately which has led me to think quite a bit about how I've been treat by others and how I want my life to be. My No.1 priority is Mr Jay and the kids, I've dealt with everything else slowly.
But you lot really make me smile :happy:

Oooo, cool thread and very timely.
Mr Bloke's mother told us at the weekend that her 72 year old friend had gone to Africa on holiday and come back with a 26 year old Gambian boyfriend - seriously! :shock:
:P
Now Bloke was that for money or a bodily part and the pleasures it could bring her! :shock:

Good for her at 72 in that respect but what else do they have in common, what on earth do they talk about?
Still, that's for them to know and if they have found a kind of happiness together then so be it!

Surely its the persect match....it makes sense to me. they both get something out of it.
Is she well off Blokes?

It would be nice to thnk that there is some emotional link as well, but as long as she is going in with her eyes open.....fair play to her!

Yes, she is, her husband ran his own company, died and left her with a fortune - we are all cynical but who knows... will keep you posted
So.. really, they could be helping each other then?
both giving each other what they need so to speak?I personally could not marry for money

money cant buy happiness but think of the fun you could have finding that out
A good thread that needs a bit of thought.
Here are my initial musings.
I would think lots of people marry for money or for greater financial security. I don't necessarily think that people do it in a cold calculating way but part of the rommancing part of a relationship. To what degree we do it will vary from person to person.
I am know braced for incoming fire

of course people marry for money, we here might be have morals ( well sort off )
There are plenty of people that will stoop that low sadly, you only have to go to Chinawhites in london to find the girls that want to nab a football star and marry him.
dont kid yourselfs some people are that bad.

Over the years as a single girl ive had many offers from well off men who quite frankly have little to offer other than a small fortune and ive always turned them down.
Ive got my own money and it may not be as much as they were offering buy its mine with no strings attached.
Money cant buy what i want, so why try, and if it could be bought it wouldnt be worth having.

Quote by Reacher359
without wanting to sound sexist i dont know any man that has married for money......as normally he gives everything plus the shirt on his back when/if the divorce comes through....i knew a couple she came from money.....he did not.......she got his car!!
oh well
I'm sure you don't know any man, but I'm sure they do.. in century's way gone people ONLY married for money and status.. we have come a long way I suppose.
Sex God
Would much rather be skint and happy than rich and miserable!
Having money (for shoes mostly!) is lovely but it's far from everything! I couldn't and wouldn't marry someone because of their status whether it's financial or otherwise... I'd want to be in love, truly, deeply, madly regardless of material things!

Not to be too prickly (I'll try) I think that Anna Nicole SMith may have set out to marry for money but she certainly didn't get it - the family are still disputing her share of the fortune. Even if she did, if she gave that old bloke the time of his life for the last few years he was kicking about, and he knew she was in it for the money and he actually got something out of it rather than the brats he produced who probably spent years merely living off him, then is it really so bad.
On another topic, I have become disconcerted with the number of attractive educated women I know who are actually more interested in a fella's bank balance than his personality or his actual interest in them. I once had a surreal conversation with a bunch of women I know who were discussing the MINIMUM amount of money they would accept being spent on their engagement rings, regardless of their fella's income and they were all aghast when I said how much I was going to spend on alovely watch I want when I win my first case... it was all truly truly strange.
They found it odd that a woman would actually want to know what she was getting herself, rather than WHO Was going to buy what for her, they then were even more taken aback at the fact that all of the lovley jewelery I own was bought by ... well ME.
I do have some lovely jewellery bought for me by past lovers, but they are special and worn on special occasions, and no they didn't go back ( I'm no nun) but they were bought as a token of esteem and so not something to be worn as a trinket or some token of wealth.
Lots of people are only interested in money - as am I , but I'm going to earn my own - not sure there that places me in the debate, but there you go!

nothing wrong with that amber i have always been generous or tried to be at least, the true value comes with trust and love not money. It helps yes but how many arguments are over money?

:thumbup: I would hate to have to rely solely on Jay for my money. I actually like the feeling of earning my own and have the independance of my own bank account for rainiy days along with our joint account. I'm studying at the moment but still do part time work to help out and support my way.
You sound very independant Amber, I'm like that and I like that in a woman.
