Over at our fellow WSJ blog, the wallet, there's a provocative Q & A with the authors of a new book called "smart girls marry money ", A satirical self-help book which has a serious mission: to get women and men to talk more about marriage and finances.
In the <Wall Street Journal> online blog "the wallet", two authors of the new book <smart girl married to money> (smart girls marry money) held controversial questions and answers with readers. this is an ironic self-help book. one of its major missions is to allow women and men to talk more about their marriages and financial conditions.
The book came into being when the two working-mom authors, Elizabeth Ford and Daniela Drake, M. D ., met while picking up their young children from preschool. they noticed that the moms who were able to spend the most time with their kids were the "mom who hadn't necessarily taken their careers seriously and married someone with Mony," said Dr. drake in the interview. "It became a joke that if we were smart, we wowould have married for money.
Two authors of this book, Elizabeth Ford and Daniela Drake, M. d. they all met office workers when they picked up their children from kindergarten. This book was born like this. in an interview, Drake said that they noticed that mothers who spend the most time with their children are not necessarily dedicated people in their careers, but married women who are rich. she said that the clever flower was married to a rich man, which once became a joke.
The authors aren't saying that every woman shoshould aspire to marry a rich guy. but they argue that marriage shouldn't just be about love ---- It shoshould also be an economic mic Partnership (as marriage traditionally was for centuries .) woman and men shoshould be more upfront about marriage and money, instead of entering marriage starry-eyed without considering the financial future.
The two authors do not mean that every woman should decide to marry a rich man, but they said that marriage is not just about love, it should also be an economic partnership (just like the traditional model of marriage for centuries ). women and men should be more frank about marriage and money, rather than entering the marriage hall with full imagination without considering the future of finance.
