Because, frankly, I don't see anything wrong with it, so long as you follow your heart.

1. And some people heart big incomes and bank accounts,
even if they just love, but are not in love with, someone.

Whatever works for folks.

3. My uncle did that
His wife died of lung cancer two years ago. A few months ago, he married an 80 year old rich woman with Parkinson's disease. He is in his late 50's so he isn't exactly young, but people usually mistake her for his mother. They recently bought a ranch in Texas and that is how he plans to spend the rest of his life. My mother, his sister, finds it sick that he would marry an elderly woman, who is in poor health, but admits that they seem to get along well.

4. As long as you write "Impeach Bush" over "In God We Trust" on the
back of the money...

5. If the person is fully aware
that you are there for the money, then I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as the person doesn't have their eyes closed to the reality. Some men want a young broad on their arms, and don't care how the broad gets there. Nothing wrong with that.

Personally, I want to care for that person, even if I don't love them all that much--I think respecting the person is necessary at the very least. I can't be totally ruthless about the situation.

6. I totally agree
I can't stand ANS's husband looking like the victim here. She walks away with his $ and he walked the last couple years (right?) of his life with her. F*cking fair trade if I ever heard of one.
