Yes it's true that there are large number of girls who just wait for the wealthy boy to marry them and didn't accept the proposal of poor man, this is not good thing but its true and we cannot ignore this truth. I think that whatever you have many be its fiat or bitcoin but you have something which makes you rich so everyone's focus is on money, they don't care about the source.
So simple is that money attracts others towards one's self therefore individuals give value to wealthy people more than those who don't have any large sum of money. I think there should not be any comparison between rich and poor because all individuals are equal just focus on behavior and marry that person who has good behavior.
As for me, independent women will not get attracted to a man's financial status because they can make a living on their own. Those who seek rich men to marry are dependent women and those who are relying their success on a rich man. It is practical because it could change a woman's life but with that purpose, I don't think the marriage will have a strong foundation.
Of course, we all want to get rich but it will be more fulfilling if we'll reach success through hard work and not by relying on someone else' pocket. Marriage is a hard thing to establish because in order for it to last, it should be filled with things that no amount of money can buy. Financial status isn't the only basis for picking the right man to spend your life with.
