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.

Because most people want to marry someone who they think likes them for them. I wouldn’t marry someone who told me they want to marry me for money, because like… I’m not just a wallet with balls and I wouldn’t want to be with someone who doesn’t like me and just sees me as a means to an end. I’d be offended if I found out my wife did that.
