that one

You are so right about it. I see that most people feel that settling for education, occupation, money and so on is the best thing to do. But in the long run do they really matter in keeping the internal bliss in the relationship? I have never seen a couple happy with those things. The main factors are chemistry, friendship, similar values and comfort. If you have those things in your relationship you will sure to live in heaven. People don't marry for real love these days. They marry to fulfill their lust and greed.

i think that if everything is already in place in your life: career wise and everything else and you found a person you like based on all the right reasons that you hold dear then i'd say that is the right person. if he happens to have money or whatever then it is just a bonus. people who might think you marry solely for that "bonus" are nonsense people.

I would say romance is not anymore present in our generation these days. They only happen in movies. People marry not purely because of love but because they know the can have something they don't have. For example, a poor girl will marry a rich businessman because she knows she can have his money later on. Love has been stained with selfishness, greed, lust, and the like.

Marrying a man who you love and love you is the best choice. A marrige doesn't work without love. That's my opinion.
