She's a Gold Digger

Thoughts from Thursday on Marrying a Rich Boy

It's a good thing Henrietta never reads this blog because I always talk to her about important matters and then I decide to blog about it. So she would get bored of hearing the same thing over and over. Like marrying a rich boy, for example.

I want to marry a rich boy.

Okay, he doesn't necessarily have to be rich. Maybe just his parents are rich.

Let me explain.

With the variety of people in this world comes a variety of views about money.

Have you ever met someone (and I know you have) who is negative about money?

It's like they never have enough money so they are always being cheap, but they think they will never get enough money. They think being rich is impossible. And they are negative about rich people. Because they are jealous, of course. Do you know what I mean?

I don't like that.

So my first conclusion was: Marry a rich boy. Then he knows that it's not bad and it's not impossible to be rich.

Then I thought: Well, he doesn't have to be rich, but maybe if his parents are rich then he will see that it's not bad and it's not impossible.

But then I thought a little more: Maybe you don't have to be rich to have a good view about money. And I thought of some people in my life who are not rich, but they know what money is about. They don't overspend, but they are not afraid to spend money. They don't hate rich people. They are positive. You know?

It's not that I have to be rich when I grow up. It's that I cannot spend my entire life listening to someone complain about always being poor, but never doing anything about it. You know, because they think being rich is impossible, plus they have spent their whole life being jealous, and therefore negative, about the rich and they couldn't just go and become one. That would just drive me insane.

In conclusion.

If he's rich, that would be nice.

If his parents are rich, fine.

But most importantly, if he is good with his money, and positive about life, then it doesn't matter how much money he has. It's not the number. It's the attitude.
