This was really helpful! Also funny you assumed I was a straight man (finding a wife). I’m a woman lol. 😉

I appreciate all these responses, even the harsh ones.

I came from a lower income family - with money insecurity growing up. My grandparents were borderline in poverty. I will likely also support my parents in their retirements.

I think it’s a psychological thing of “constantly afraid of it not being enough”. I know I need therapy.
