My Mother Said I Need to Marry a Rich Man

I told her no, I want to be a rich woman so I don’t have to.

My mother, love her so, is set in her ways and old fashioned. She’s been married to my father for forty-plus years now. I don’t think he’s good for her, honestly. She deserves so much better, but she puts up with him because that’s all she knows.
