Never. I just wrote an entry about whether or not I want to be rich or poor and I find this to be conveniently posted a few hours I wrote it. :)

My boyfriend is pretty well off, but that's certainly not the reason I'm with him.  In fact, it's not even factored in with my list of reasons.

I would marry someone that had money, if the attraction was there.  I probably would consider an offer of marriage with someone with money that was offering a business/partnership transaction, if I thought that we could grow as a couple and that I would be financially secure if things didn't work out.  But only because I'm single ATM.

I have been offered a number of transactions for money, none of which I've ever taken up because it would be a little to much like prostitution in my books, and although I've known 'working' people and had friendships with them, and not judged them for their choosen profession, that's just something I would not do.

For me sex between a man and a woman, should at least be fun, ideally it be intimate and special.  I don't see that happening if you were paid for it.  Having said that, though, the reason I would consider marriage with someone who offered to take care of me, is because I do believe that the man should be the primary source of income within a family.  If the woman wants to work, fine, however, I believe, and it's only my opinion so before anyone crusifies me, that the woman has a duty within the house and as a partner to her husband. 

That doesn't mean I think women should be subservient slaves, nor does it mean that I don't think anything else could work.  It just means in a relationship with traditional gender roles, I think that the women performs best and is most satified being the mans helpmeet.  Heart and home of the household.

The only things that would make me hesitate/not consider marriage for the sake of financial security would be;

1.  If there was no way that I would ever find my partner attractive.

2.  If there was something about his nature that I found completely repulsive.

3. If under no circumstances did he ever want children.

@Wing_zero21@xanga - Only a rudimentary mental list.

Never.
I'm capable of making my own money, thank you.

When I become either mentally retarded or lose all my appendages and become sessile, I'll reconsider (if I'm even able to think).

Of course not! I'd like to make my own money for myself, thank you. :]

nope. 

I wouldn't marry someone JUST for their money.
Especially if they are a jerk!

As a wife and mother that is forced to work to meet the family's household budget, I wish that my husband was capable of supporting all of us on his income alone.  I am deeply unahappy about having to be a part of the harsh and uncaring corporate world and would much rather indulge my kids with my time and attention than work all day every day in a company that doesn't care about me at all.

Many books and Working Mother magazine say that women have come such a long way, career wise, but I think we have gone backwards.  I long for the old times when a mother had a choice of whether to work or raise her kids.  I feel a deep dissatisfaction with my situation and in turn resent my husband for that.

So, I would say that if I were to do it over again, I would make sure before I got married that my husband's salary could cover all household expenses when we have kids.  I suggest this to any young women who are considering marraige and want to have children.  I wouldn't necessarily have to marry rich, but would make sure that I could be a stay at home mother without financial consequences.

Believe me, you don't even think about having kids or not working when you are young, in love and planning a wedding.  But it all comes to a sad and heart wrenching reality when you have a little sweet baby that is only a tender 6 weeks old and you have to hand the baby to a stranger to take care of him for the entire day.  Not a happy time (and believe me, you will end up resenting your husband in the long run).

*sigh*

yes, i would.

I would not marry specifically for money. But in all honesty, I would not even consider marrying someone if he didn't have a job and would be able to support both of us or my kids. Call me old fashion, but I grew up in a house, a neighborhood, and a school that the men were always the bread winners. My boyfriend and I have talked about it. He's a southern gentleman and has the same beliefs as me. I would not marry strictly for money, but it's something to consider. Not saying he has to be a millionaire because I am going to work and I love working. There are many factors to consider when marrying someone and if someone says they don't marry for a little bit of money reasons, they're lying. I don't know a single girl who would marry a homeless guy no matter how attractive he was and I don't know a girl who would marry a guy without considering what their financial situation would be.
