Ever been left because of money like Noah?


I have. Ex ended up with a guy making 150k a year so she got her wish. Haven't even tried dating since and that was a year and a half ago because I feel like I'll never meet another one like her. I really don't understand how money can trump the heart and soul and feelings one has for another.

My fiance dumped me over the phone because I didn't make enough money, and my family was poor. A year and a half later, I married a woman who wasn't concerned about how much I made. Eventually, I achieved an income the first one would have found acceptable. She married a well-off guy who ended up beating the crap out of her. I've been happily married for over forty years. Karma, I suppose.

"No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself." Moral of the story... just "KNOCK IT OFF Pal!" :P BTW, this ^^^ is one of Tennyson's 'poems', except for the 'moral'! L0L
