What's wrong with getting married for money? (lemmy.ml)

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.

There's nothing wrong with it if two people go clear eyed about it. But relationships always have layers of hidden expectations. Mutual love and respect can navigate those rocky times.

I don't have much going for me

Since this relationship is purely transactional, what do you have to offer? What do you have to offer that they can't just buy without the long term liability?
