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.

So... While the responsible adult in me wants to discourage this approach to making a livelihood simply because it puts ones entire life into the hands of someone who has little motivation to treat it with the love and respect it deserves, the nerd in my wants to point out the tangentially related fun fact that fast casual restaurants like Applebee's are notably where America's poor and wealthy are most likely to cross paths.

Not disagreeing with you, just sharing a fun fact that isn't really related to the subject at hand. And OP, do not take this to mean you should go work at a chili's.
