As I sit alone and wonder how to make a good fortune without the hastle of "sacrifices & hardworks", I can't help but ask myself what would my life have been if I married that wealthy man who asked me to seven years ago...he was 20 yrs older my age by the way..he died just a year ago and left all his wealth to his young, barren wife who is now enjoying his wealth..I could have been that girl if I said yes, but I was young that time and I strongly believe in love so I choose to stay with a young man who left me after a 6-year relationship for an american girl just to fullfill his american dream of becoming a greencard holder. Now, all I can do is wonder....what could have been..IF........ would you marry someone for money or for greencard?

No never, no amount of money can give you the feeling of true love, I think it would be such ashame to miss out on that glorious feeling for the sake of money so i wouldn't even think about it.

definitely not. because you will not be happy with that someone if you will marry him/her for their money.

Hi, there is that saying that money does not make you completely happy. If you did marry this wealthy man then you might have always been wondering if during that time someone would have come along who you would have been in love with. Also would you have felt guilty about marrying this older man and getting his money when you did not really love him? I'm sorry about what happened to your six year relationship, but at least you now know what he is really like. Im sure there is someone out there for you, its just a matter of looking, dont give up and good luck, I hope you find happiness. Plus at least you will not be thought of as a golddigger. Good luck.

a big NO for me. still i preffered LOVE over money. reading from your own experience well we can say that yours' is a little bit of unlucky with the one you chose but still its a matter of fate. Yes its true that she had inherited all his wealth, the question is: Is she happy with his life now? WAS she happy when she agreed to be with an old rich man? we didnt know, she alone can tell that. Its just so happened that your husband left you thats why u have this thought...but then you have been happy with your 6 years relationship with him right? So just be happy thats all. Just enjoy what u have now because we didnt know what lies ahead of us. cheers!:)
