"Yes, poor people cheat on each other all the time; they just find it harder to get away with."

"One was a nurse, and one was a teacher. Both bought huge, beautiful homes in an expensive neighborhood, and drive very nice cars, so I guess he was rich all along."

"Of course, we still argue, but for us, the biggest argument is over social events. I love them, and he’s introverted and sober, so he hates them. We get invited to some really cool parties and galas, and I feel like I have to drag him, and then he doesn’t have fun. I don’t think that’s a wealth thing, but I wanted to share that we definitely still argue, and wealth doesn’t solve everything.

The biggest negative is that I do feel a larger-than-average pressure to look good. This doesn’t come from my husband, but I can’t help but notice that almost all of his friends and most people in our neighborhood have very attractive wives. I think this definitely relates to all of these people being wealthy. I spend much more time and effort on my appearance now, and I think part of that is because I don’t want people to be thinking, 'Wow, he’s so successful, why is he with her?!' I’ve always cared about my appearance and worn makeup/dyed my hair long before meeting my husband, but now I can afford more expensive hair appointments, Pilates, skincare, Botox, etc., so my beauty routine has gotten much more expensive and time-consuming. Like everything, there are pros and cons!"

1) Because of his father's wealth, he grew up in a comfortable environment, so he tends to be materialistic when it comes to living environment. We have to give and take when making decisions here, but ultimately it leads me to investing some of my assets into things that I don’t consider high-yield or important. 

2) His father, due to his career, has a very hot temper, and my husband resembles his mother when it comes to personality. So he is kind of the underdog in his family, that his father sort of is harsher on him compared to his siblings, and as his partner, I’ve had to stand up for myself more than the other kids' partners."
