Being a gold digger as a dude

Here me out. We always talk about delayed gratification and sacrificing your 20s handcuffed to your desk to reap the career benefits for the years to come.

I have been talking to a lady who I honestly don’t like that much. She’s a smoke, but she’s dumb as rocks and ditsy. However, her dad is probably worth $200-300M. Private jet, 4 maybe 5 houses.

Hypothetically, I start dating this girl, marry her in 3-4 years, stay married for 5 years, and then divorce the dumbo. I skirt off with the cash/new sick house that her dad bought us when we got married. Seems to me I can “sacrifice” 10 years of my life to get the pay out down the road.

It’s not that much different than a 10 year career in banking, right?

What if you have kids in that time. Would you be willing to bring life into this world knowing you weren't going to make it work for them. I can hazard a guess that you might love your kids and the decision to split and run off with the money may not be as easy as you think. 

I am all for gold digging and tinder swindling but I can't do that with kids in the picture

I'm sorry, she's the dumb one?
