So I want to marry a physician (girl) as they make good money so I get a good life plus decent retirement. Is it selfish to marry someone for money???

You can definitely limit the women you date to ones who have high income potential. Women have been doing that with men since, um, forever.

Just make sure you actually like her and you are aligned in financial and life goals before marriage.

I’d recommend getting completely jacked before you attempt this.

Yes, and these women do not marry to make it work or for love. If you’re just after money, go for it!

I think it’s a good plan. A girl I used to work with did this for years and finally landed a Dentist. I’m currently dating a doctor. Use the apps, filter for the ones you’re interested in. It’s nice because dating someone who’s really intelligent usually makes life easier. I’ve found they’re more reasonable. In the past I had dated several girls in marketing or whatever and way to many of them were just dopes with zero life perspective. Intelligence is extremely important for me. They’re more likely to be better with money and just make better day to day decisions (diet, exercise, better spending habits, etc.)

My wife is a CPA as well, albeit “retired” now with our kids. I couldn’t agree more.

When I was younger I dated for one reason only. Had a lot of fun but dealt with a LOT of shit as a result. Not a single one had half a brain.

When I finally got annoyed with all the nonsense and started focusing more on the whole person, dating was a much more pleasant experience. Don’t get me wrong...looks are still important...but there are plenty of good looking, smart people.

Nothing wrong with that. Only issue is why you think the girl will marry you, or you deserve her? Not talking about money here, but about that attitude of taking free handout without working hard to get it?

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.
