if you failed to achieve your dreams, would you content yourself with marrying rich?

<p>or marrying the person who might achieve your dreams?</p>

<p>yes, i know that going to a prestigious college/prestigious future/whatever increases your chances of landing the spouse of your dreams, but it's not entirely impossible to do that even if you fail to reach your dreams.</p>

<p>so what if you failed to reach your dreams and still managed to marry the person who could achieve your dreams? would you content yourself with that? with perhaps living vicariously through the experience of the other, and maybe even helping the other do some of the other's work. </p>

<p>No, it would make me really frustrated.</p>

3

<p>I would feel like crap if I married someone who did everything I wanted to do better than I do. I mean, you can’t help who you love, but it’d be pretty damn annoying</p>

4

<p>no. i wouldn’t make that an option until i see my own achievment first</p>

5

<p>I think the two events are mutually exclusive.</p>

6

<p>The only way you can feel contempt with marrying the rich, if your dream fails, is if you want to be rich.</p>

<p>Even then, it by default since it’s not actually your money.</p>

7

<p>if i failed- sure! Just as long as I loved my spouse :P</p>

<p>I wouldn’t mind buying more clothes at all ;)</p>

8

<p>I don’t really have any problems with marrying rich. I do have problems with it being the backup plan for my dreams falling through.</p>

<p>Omg thats so funny- on the top of the CC site I just saw the ad with some blonde thats says “Marrying a Maillionare” “EliteMeeting.com” or something like that. Very related to this post :P</p>

<p>I wouldnt have any problem with it because with that much money I could do what ever I wanted including founding my own lab. :P</p>

11

<p>Eh I wouldn’t marry rich, just so he could finance my failed dreams. I wouldn’t want to be dependent. As for marrying someone who might achieve my dreams. Once again, probably not because I’m not altruistic enough to do that. I’d want all the fame/glory/perks that went with it, primarily to myself. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t mind it the other way around. I could share.</p>

<p>Technically, you can only fail once you’ve stopped trying. </p>

<p>That’s not something I’ll allow. So to answer your question, no.</p>

13

<p>The guy of my dreams most likely wouldn’t be rich at all. The things I value and the things the guy I would want to marry would value wouldn’t be materialistic.</p>

<p>Dreamers don’t care about money.</p>

14

<p>I would not get married and I’m anticommittal (just like melin720) so… Guess I can’t risk failing too hard, can I?</p>

<p>No girls. No marriage. No relationships.</p>

<p>melin720 had a good point. Relationships are distractions.</p>

15

<p>God damn. Where are all my fellow Romantics?</p>

16

<p>marry for money? no wayy. If he happens to be rich, fine. If not, fine too. I agree with fuzzleshnops. </p>

<p>Plus, having someone else achieve my dreams is not equivalent to me achieving my dreams. Where some dreams falter, other less trivial ones will arise. I doubt I’ll ever stop dreaming, and thus I’ll never “fail” at achieving my dreams. Additionally, some dreams never end, and one can always strive toward them, achieving the dream on the journey, but never quite reaching the end.</p>

17

<p>never.
i could never be that dependant.</p>

18

<p>Aww I really want to be married when I’m older :)</p>

19

<p>Pfft, then there’s really no point in living, is there? You’ll be confined to doing the same things every single day, never breaking routine, looking forward for a break that will never come.</p>

<p>What means you’ll be confined to doing the same things everyday?</p>
