Is dating a wealthy partner selling out or leveling up?

Who doesn't love the classic billionaire trope in romance stories? When it works in the plot, when it's really swoon-worthy, is when the relationship and emotions are believable. If you think about it, this only happens when the money is treated as an asset in the equation, not the focal point.

Leading to an age-old debate: how much should financial status matter in relationships? Some say it's practical; others consider it a 'cheat code'. But what if we flip the script for a second?

Consider this: dating a wealthy partner doesn't define you; your ambition and accomplishments does. It's about mutual respect, not just bank balances. Sure, financial stability matters, but so does personal growth. Rather than seeing it as a cash grab, why not view it as a chance to learn? Money doesn't make love, but it can enable experiences.

Imagine exploring passions, not because of someone's wallet, but because it's exciting and different. It's not about dating up; it's about leveling up together. Relationships thrive on connection, shared values, and supporting each other's dreams.

Here's another way to look at it: If money is widely known to be the cause of failed relationships, why would the rich be exempt? It's an obvious assumption to conclude the problem is solved because they 'got it'. But what if they feel taken advantaged of, or have no interest in fully supporting another capable adult? This is a sure reason why prenups exist in the first place.

So, focus on love at the start and next time the wealth question arises, stop and ask yourself: Are we growing, or just counting bills?
