MzH, then you need to broaden your horizons girl, there are quite a lot of eligible gentlemen around. The ones who've just finished uni and have been working for a bit. They're just getting settled into the careers so they still have the fire in their belly and now is when they're looking to meet the future wifey. They're out there, just look where you haven't been looking.

Heres the thing though. When You say "everything you want" that can be very vague. I mean You can be talking about a new ring/bracelet every couple days, credit card spending sprees @ the latest upscale fasion stores? I mean only a futbol player can afford that kind of lifestyle for His Wife. Don't get Me wrong if I had that kinda money, sure I'd love to spoil her like that, but damn..
I mean most marriages of My friends, and the marriage I see myself having I'd take care of all the basics like ofcourse the rent, groceries, her gas, her phone, pocket money for her to go out with her friends or whatever, in addition to all the other basics. I mean if She wants more than that, which she's entitled to then sure She's more than welcome to get a part time job.
Really though one thing I've observed is no matter what kind of game girls talk before marriage like I'll work work work, as time goes on and they get a little bit older i.e mid '20s, early '30s, etc. their appetite to do that gets less and less and they'd rather just focus on their childeren, husband, etc. and at worst will wanna work part time. My observation
"Everything you want" is a vague phrase and that is as it should be because we're not all the same. I reckon as long as two people have a common understanding and share similar expectations and aspirations then they should be fine. A girl who's used to spending money on herself and a man who's used to counting every penny for example would probably not make a good match and that is one way in which a woman can easily lose her independence, when she has to explain what she's spending her "pocket money" on. Pocket money you know, I don't see how a grown adult wouldn't find that notion offensive
Anyway, women generally would want to work, if they have to, because like I said it does provide some form of financial independence but with kids going out and spending money probably becomes a second priority and taking care of the children takes the biggest chunk of "everything you want". So the way I see it it's not a game, just human nature, economics and priorities.
