They're concerned with their financial health. They might like a good bargain. They tend to be somewhat more anxious about their future, which pushes them to save. Money worshipers, they think that money will ultimately make them happy. It is the solution to all their problems. And they're more likely to put their career ahead of things like, you know, family and friends.

And then money status seekers, they are folks who are more likely to link their self-worth to how much they make, and they tend to value outward displays of wealth, which can lead to overspending. And so they may have come from a household where money was tight, but they valued people with money and saw them as worthy, right? And so those are very crude buckets.

And obviously, you can identify with more than one of those. But I think it's such a helpful framework to prompt you to think more critically about your own money beliefs and who you might be more aligned with. And then, you know, hopefully that can make you feel more curious about your date's financial behaviors and attitudes and where they come from and how they show up.

Yeah, I don't find it so surprising that people have this preference. I do think it's interesting that people are talking about it more openly. I think a lot of that has to do with the messaging that people are exposed to online. I think it normalizes that desire in a way that... Makes it easier to say out loud.

But, you know, I think as long as we live in a patriarchal society that glamorizes consumption and wealth and a society where homeownership continues to feel out of reach and young people are increasingly burdened with student debt, then you're always going to find some people who gravitate towards the idea of dating up or marrying rich.

And of course, that preference might guide people to different degrees in the same way that you might prefer someone who's tall or someone who appreciates nature. It doesn't mean that you're immediately going to disqualify a potential partner if they don't have that quality. But it does seem to be something that I think people are increasingly considering, given just our economic realities.
