My Husband’s Daughter Called Me a Gold Digger, So I Gave Her an Answer She’ll Never Forget
Madison recently got engaged, and we are excited about it. Everyone was over recently, and she asked about a wedding budget from us. Rob told her he was able to contribute 10k. She has bigger hopes for her wedding than this, so she was upset and kept asking for more. Rob, however, is still working hard on building his savings back up.
Before his late wife died, he basically wiped out his cash savings, had to cash out his 401k, and even took a small mortgage on his house to cover medical costs as well as life expenses since he had to cut back on working. Eventually, he had to drop that job for a more flexible but lower-paying one, so this 10k is actually really generous from him.

Rob went to run an errand and it was just me and his kids. Madison then asked me if I was going to give any in addition to what her dad was giving. I told her we were a marital unit and that’s what we discussed together as a reasonable amount to contribute.
She then said, “I should have known, obviously you married an older man for what he had, not for what you could give.” I knew she didn’t like me, but this was the most flat-out rude thing she’s ever said. I kind of lost it and said, “Excuse me, who do you think has been paying the second mortgage your dad took out to pay his debts?”

The truth of the matter is that I make more than her father by a large margin, I have no debt, and I’ve been paying 70% of the household bills the whole time we’ve been married. The 10k we’re giving her is available because I’ve been able to subsidize her father’s living expenses over the last few years. I made it clear that not only am I not a gold digger, but I’m literally wealthier than my “older husband.”
