Marla, I wish you luck in your journey.
You must realize though that life is always full of ups and downs. If you look solely for that perfect "man" then you may miss him because it is entirely possible that in his current stage of life, he may be in a "down" time.
It's also entirely possible that at some point your roles would be reversed and you might be dependant on him for a time.
If you should fine "love" than you shouldn't discount it because there's no money in it. You and he need to talk about money before marriage and determine whether your goals and needs are compatible with his. You two need to figure out which is the better money manager and who will do what. Your goals and ideas and characteristics need to be compatible.
And also, IF you do find both "love" and "money," then you need to think about what would happen to the "us" (the two of you) if that SO were to lose his job or ability to keep on making money. Would you then leave him?
To me looking for both, means discounting a great majority of the people out there who may be a good match for you.
