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 two good LPTs. Don't expect things to never end and don't have kids unless you're committed to giving them a good home and upbringing.

I'm not even being salty. Global avg divorce rate stats don't seem to factor into modern civilizations' idolization of "forever and ever", as the abject surprise when their own marriage disintegrates is a full-on trope that just keeps truckin', generation after generation. Thafuq, people?
