She seems sweet, if slightly misguided. Come on, she's only 18! Cut her some slack and wish her well. We all learn through our mistakes and the school of hard knocks...
id rather appear rich than poverty stricken. it's a proven fact that youre treated better by society if you dress well. i notice that i am offered help more quickly in stores if i am dressed well. i know it's not fair but it is the truth.

that's why I always dress nice when I travel... I think it's great for her to try to dress 'up', I just question how wise she is to want a rich guy just because he's rich. that's a mistake, imo.
she would be better off worrying about her future education goals. 18 turns into 30 and then 45 quicker than you think and spending too much time trying to marry rich is a waste of time. People generally don't marry outside of their social and or income circles. She may be able to party with the rich guys and think she can marry one, but probably not. she would be better off working on creating her own wealth the old fashioned way and then possibly marry someone like herself to begin creating a new generation of wealth. Each generation builds upon the last to create wealth in a family line. I hope she matures and gains a better perspective on life. Learning to dress nice and be well groomed is a good start but not the end all be all.
OP has started 2 threads on the Detroit site, one on how to meet wealthy guys, and one on how to fit in in Grosse Pointe, please go read them, then you will know why.....pretty sad in this day and age that an 18 year old feels that she has to be a goldigger.....
Good sleuthing!
I guess that I am only sad that at 18 she is trying to marry a wealthy guy already. At 18, I was more focused on college studies and dreaming of being a rock star, there were no thoughts of marriage in my mind. lol! So at 18, she should be thinking of maximizing her personal potential and not defining herself by the man she dates.

I agree with the above post. Ifher intentions are to appear rich to attract a rich man, then her priorities are really messed up. How long does she think a superficial marriage will last. I hope this young girl is already enrolled in college. Once she has a degree and is making her own money, she will actually become wealthy in time on her own instead of appearing to be or living off of someone else's wealth.
Even my boyfriend commented how sad this situation is. Dressing up rich may get you an introduction, but after that, she won't have gone to the right schools or know any of the right families. Around me, all the rich young people go to the same prep schools and the better colleges. You can't cover up who you are inside or your roots. Her best investment would be to study hard in school and get top grades. People of all classes respect those who are smart, educated and pull their own weight financially.
