Sir, what makes you think I don't have enough money to live abroad? Also, a side note: living abroad can be much cheaper, so your argument doesn't even make sense. But most importantly, I have shocking news for you: I make a pretty decent income. More importantly, I have dated men who earn less, and I'd gladly do that again (although I'm not very interested in dating right this moment). Moreover, are you ready? I'm totally fine being the breadwinner in the family. I certainly would share the expenses according to income level and would gladly pay more. All that means I'd have to be with a secure man who doesn't have a fragile ego, but that's a topic for a different day. I also turned down well-off men for lack of good personality traits and in favour of men who earned much less yet had good hearts. This must be unfathomable to you, but the narrative about women being gold-diggers who seek men's money is applicable to Eastern cultures muuuuch more compared to the Western ones.
