Today we are going to have a look at a derogatory label that gets bandied around a bit. The "gold digger".
Some people love the luxuries that being rich brings. Further, they strive with the pressures that also come with these luxuries. Occasionally these people are women who, rather than earn the riches themselves, hope to marry into riches. As such, they pursue and date wealthy men exclusively.
People are different throughout the world. Every difference comes with its own pleasures and comes with its own pressures. Being rich is only one of those differences and its not for everyone. If you don't think there are pressures for the rich, just look at the gossip section of any magazine. Not everyone can handle the pressures associated with abundance. That is why for so many people, winning the lottery is the worst thing that ever happened to them. It destroys their life.
Being rich is not for everyone. Personally, I'd prefer a fulfilling life with my family than give the priority and commitment to career that many of the wealthy have. But that is just me. In our amazing world of difference and variety, there are people who can only exist with the benefits and pressures of such an existence. Living in such a reality is what brings out the best in them and is the reality where they can be "whole".
So why is it then, when someone understands themself, knows that this type of lifestyle is the one they need to be the best person they can be and goes out to find a partner who has a similar view on life, they are labelled a "gold digger". Its just silly. Once again, it seems people label other people simply because of their own intolerance.
The basic problem is that no matter what you do, people will want to interfere and shove their own opinions down your throat. They clearly haven't got enough going on in their own lives. If you know what your want, have the courage to go after it. Only you can say what will make you happy at the end of the day.
So forget the detractors, their opinions usually tell you more about them anyway.
