Family secrets: I wish I had married for money, not love

Psychologists find that people who earn more than their social group are happier, independent of their earning.

For example, people are happier earning $100,000 in a neighborhood which averages $50,000, than they would be if they earned $150,000 where their neighbors all earn $200,000.

So, perhaps this woman should find poorer friends.

More materialistic focus, more money focus... Sad. If they're able to make it, feed themselves, house themselves, their children have schooling, and a future?

They should consider themselves lucky, unfortunately it is not in our nature to appreciate what we have. Instead, we see what we don't have and want more, want different...

Not a very good thing to teach your children.

I'm in debt up to my friggin' eyeballs (well, I got it down a little--maybe up to my chin), but I love my man, and we'll sink or swim together.

And they say men are superficial...

Women are biologically predisposed to appreciate material wealth and their mate's social status. No woman wants to be married to the loser. I think that's what's going on here. This guy is "sensitive". It's all well and fine when you're dating because he pays a lot of attention to you and is giving in the sack, but when you're married and have to compare his wallet to the other husband's wallets... Well, it ain't enough.
