Women and Money

So I was out with my sister and Jen tonight. Jen has been trying to set my sister up with this guy whom I know my sister doesn't dig, but Jen is insisting she digs him. She then emphasized this guy is worth millions. Who the fuck cares? I'm just so confused, since when is that something you say to a friend as a selling point in introducing two people? Whatever happened to he's nice, sweet, honest, dependable, mature and filled with integrity? Since when did all those bullet points get replaced with a simple, he's rich? I feel like I'm reading a Jane Austen novel with Lord Such-and-Such being worth Oh-So-Much a year. At least in the novel, she has the courtesy of saying the lord was of "good-breeding".
I kid. Jen does mean well. I know she only wishes well for my sister...and her trying to set me up with this other rich dude only irked me more. Still, I know she only wishes us well.
I guess I'm just not that impressed by it. Like recently some guy was introduced to me as the owner of this and that place, all I could say was, "Yeah...and...?" Maybe I'm just being a snot, but I think personality goes a long way, especially since what I enjoy doing these days involves walking around on dirt for FREE!
It’s seriously almost a strike against a guy when they are rich. I guess I’ve always seen life as a road trip. Some people see the destination as the best part; they just want to get there (so why not fly). I see every bit of the journey as the good parts…there’s not always a best, it’s all good. I’m not sure I want someone to give me the “best part”. I want to earn the road. I want to earn the view at the top of the climb. I think I would feel a bit robbed if we didn’t journey together.
