In their book, Elizabeth Ford and Daniela Drake use cold hard facts and true stories to present a compelling case for why mercenary marriages make the most sense for future happiness. Smart Girls Marry Money challenges the ideals and assumptions women have blindly accepted about love and marriage-and shows how they’ve done so at their own economic peril. So, why does society applaud a girl who falls for a guy with big blue-eyes yet denounces one who chooses a rich-ugly man? After all, isn’t money more a reflection of a man’s values and character? She remarried and is now happily married.

"I can attest from almost marrying someone for love (who also happened to HAVE money), there’s no way to prevent or take the burn out of being left brokenhearted, " she added. She swears she is not bitter it's just that if she knew then what she know now, there's a lot of great and essential things she would get from that man she married.
