all I gotta say is - so what's new... unfortunately I know of many girls who are poles apart in their pre-marriage and post-marriage demeanor towards money and desired lifestyles.
This lady seems to have a lot to be grateful for... a healthy and loving family... but she's longing for material possessions at the expense of genuine relationships (teaching her daughters to look for men with money). It sounds like she still has a lot to learn through real life experiences. Unfortunately, in the school of life, the lessons come after the tests.
I read this but just couldn't stop myself from commenting....there are women out there who have worked all of their lives to make ends meet (goree or asian) and when they get married they would like the option of not working and not giving up on the things they have had to give up all their lives (yes they might be materialistic things) but its hard to keep telling yourself no, coz your husband or your income won't allow you to get that massage or you have to save inorder to get yourself a pedicure or a manicure.
Maybe its not right to want a mansion but having to count every single penny can be a drain on your life. Given the option of saving money or spending it a lot of women (not material crazy) women would choose to save but I know that they would like to have enough money to be able to take a vacation out of the country.... for some it all boils down to just knowing that they have the money to take a vacation, that makes it easier for them.
even though the author sounds cheap and low, its true. How many of our parents want us to marry guys that are well off. Everyone wants the best for their child. If i was in her position i might have compared myself with my friends. It's so sad, but its true.

Exactly!
Some people have been conditioned to think this way. I mean come on, your mam and dad arent going to let you marry any old lucha lafunga! I know a huge amount of families who will not look twice at a guy unless hes a Dr/Lawyer...ect.
It may not be right and im not saying its wrong either but its so very true.
People marry for many different reasons, , happiness, money, passports, visa, huge house, beauty, intelligence, name, status, acceptance, compromise, loving family, children, love and the list goes on.
Im sure there will be many times in a persons life where they wish they were someone else. The green eyed monster lives in everyone, some people have the guts to admit it, other live in denial and some people learn how to deal with it.
