When rich people marry for money, it's fine; it's keeping it within the family — especially for royalty. When poor people marry for money, it's ‘gold digging.’

  Many of our modern aphorisms originated from the rich and investor class, so of course they’re phrased with a bias against the poor and new money

    Talk about you. Many of my aphorisms in Spanish come from the working-class and the rural world

  Shit. I did it wrong. I married someone with way less than me. Although my job doesn’t pay well because I also choose that based on enjoyment…
