A big mansion where you physically abuse your mate?? (but you can go for divorce and get $$)
But a small house with love?? (but you can't go for divorce with $$$)
A reasonable sane woman, will choose the second. If she believe she can make the $$ herself.
Then again, there are too many variables. Love it's not as simple as 1+1 = 2 . As much as everyone wants it to be like.. You love me, I love you kinda crap.
It's more like, x(male) + y(female) = z. Even if you know the value of x as 1. You still don't know y. As much as you thought you know "y" when you're dating. When you decide to marry her, she could morph to a complete different person (controlling, self-pity, emotional, freak, demanding for love and asking you why won't you love her the way like you do when you're dating ).
Hence Y will be a variable as well as yourself X(when you strike it rich and decide to get a mistress). Which means, X and Y will always remain an undefined variable which will lead to the result of Z. Undeniably, you can control the variables of X(which is yourself), but you can never control how Y will turn out to be.
Long story cut short, there's no right answer to your question. Nevertheless base on your scenario, MATURED + SMART woman, know better to rely on themselves than to rely on men
