When rich people marry for money, it's fine; it's keeping it within the family — especially for royalty. When poor people marry for money, it's ‘gold digging.’
I saw this and thought "this reminds me of that user who kept posting about age gap relationships and wealth gap relationships". Then I checked the username and it is indeed them

Many of our modern aphorisms originated from the rich and investor class, so of course they're phrased with a bias against the poor and new money

Talk about you. Many of my aphorisms in Spanish come from the working-class and the rural world

Depends. In some old money families, marrying for money is seen as foolish. We're already rich, you fool, we've been rich for a thousand years !

Shit. I did it wrong. I married someone with way less than me. Although my job doesn't pay well because I also choose that based on enjoyment..
