For Love or For Money?

My friends older sister got married today. How exciting! Some of my friends my age are even engaged. Perhaps they are about to graduate from college but some of them don't even know yet what they are going to do with their lives. So how do you know if your soon to be spouse is going to be successful? For all you know you could be living in poverty because although he or she just graduated from law school, there has been a change of heart and they now want to be a volunteer worker or something of the sort.

So what's the whole point of that little story? Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. The person you marry may not always be the same person as when you married them. It's actually really scary that I am the age that I need to be thinking about these things, though I am definitely not headed down that path anytime soon.

Never date (or marry!) someone because you think they will make a lot of money or they have money in the family. Money cannot buy happiness even though sometimes we'd like to think it can. Look for the things that really matter most to you in someone that you will spend the rest of your life with.
