I’m gonna be honest, I’m not asking for a friend, I’m asking for myself. Our daughter (24) married this man (65) in September. She herself stated money was the main reason, and he knows it but it doesn’t bother him. Both my husband & I are having a very hard time getting used to the idea.

    How is “make sure she has a backup plan” anything at all like what you said?

      That’s someone who is mad because they can’t marry someone for money and no one wants to buy pictures of their feet.

        Hey, I’m mad about those things but that doesn’t mean I’m out here being an asshole about it…

          Have you tried selling pictures of your feet? A lot of folks are mad that they can’t but they haven’t even tried yet.

          But, to be honest, I’m pretty sad that I couldn’t marry for money. I would have made an amazing trophy husband in my youth.

            I’m kinda glad I couldn’t marry for money when I was younger. I’ve been in a place where I would’ve and a gilded cage still traps you. I think by my age I’d’ve been miserable like that. Now sex work? Main reason I never picked up that side hustle is I can’t advertise for shit and trying sounds awful, and knowing people like me who’ve done it I don’t think it would’ve caused me nearly the issues of gold digging.
