What's wrong with getting married for money? As long as your upfront about it and the other person is ok with it then what's the problem?

I really want to get married. It's my plan to marry someone who is rich and become a stay at home wife. I don't have much going for me and it's the only way I can think of to get rich and not work at Burger King forever.

The reason most marital problems are money related though doesn’t have to do with the amount of money; it has to do with both partners’ priorities and skill in handling it. If they aren’t compatible, it’ll become painfully obvious a lot faster than other incompatibilities in the relationship.

I mean I can tell you for certain my own experiences are due to amount of money. Both my wife and I are pretty good about being modest in our wants. Lack of money is the issue along with the stress it causes.
