Industries that profit off of marriage supplies such as clothes, accessories, diamonds, ETC.

Cost does matter to me a great deal, because unlike most people in the first world, I actually know what it's like to be homeless and hungry. Because of my experiences in life, I place a higher value in wealth, security, and my own self interest than my relationships or other people in general. I refuse to go without ever again.

So while other people continue to spend $25000+ on marriage ceramonies and bury themselves in credit card debt and strain themselves with car payments and mortgages and work their butts off over 40 hours per week until they retire at 60-70 , I will be focusing on improving myself and saving or reinvesting my money wisely so that I can live an enriching and enjoyable life. Relationships are secondary to me.
