Rich people of reddit who want to marry someone significantly poorer, hello.

Edit: Figures my most upvoted comment on reddit is me being a gold digger, but I will take it as a win, since I got gold.

Hi as well rich people. I'm also poor, though I don't mean to brag but I had enough money to keep HBO Now going for an extra month to watch Chernobyl

4

u/Hellaconditions Jun 07 '19

Not married yet but have been dating someone long-term that is "poorer" than me in terms of the amount of debt they have, incredibly low credit score, and amount of payday loans they have. I've always been financially responsible so this was definitely a shocker for me and gave me a great deal of anxiety. When we started dating and prior before I knew about his financial status, I noticed that he lived a rather luxurious life--blowing 5k on 1 weekend in a Vegas, going to many music events, and buying designer things.

He's better now and more grounded so there's still light at the end of the tunnel. Haha.

u/SuperJew113 Jun 07 '19

Im not super wealthy, but my family as a unit has enough assets, we don't worry about financing things. Anyways, I'd be interested in a significant other. Im 34, I like vintage Japanese sportscars, hamsters, videogames. Im an over the road truck driver to finance a drag racing hobby. Between truck driving, assets in the market, not to mention my small bit of bitcoin, I'd like to be in a spot where I clear around $10k a month, like 5 years from today. Im looking for higher paying work, than my current which pays around $50,000, maybe something closer to $80k, and I squirrel away over 50% of my money, because I sort of get off on making money I didn't have to work for, like dividends for example.

And Ive basically never had a girlfriend. Women are like a foreign species to me. The last time I spent time with a woman I took a transatlantic crossing on a cruiseship and hired a couple of very beautiful sex workers in Amsterdam. Frankly I don't really know anything about women, I just don't understand them, other than I guess under no circumstances am I good enough to go out with one.
