What you see now is result of 'choice'. No longer are women (for most part) dependent on man or fearful of society and that is why we see more people breaking apart AND it is becoming difficult to get into a meaningful relationship...that is not due to money, it is due to choice. We should be glad for this choice...why? Because it gives us equal opportunity to find someone based on our values rather than values imposed by society...
I have written an article about Love and how it can turn ugly..., at the core, it is the preconceived notion that people come to relationships with that cause the issues.

I was drawn to your title and was going to respond with a one-liner and before I realized, it turned out to be what it has.

I know where you are coming from, I am from india and have seen people BREAKING up just because of financial aspect...
