Indeed, I agree.
Quickest ways to lose money and freedom: Have a woman, have a child. Have them both at your own peril.
Wow, that was clever. I see what you did there bro. Altering quotes is so mature and smart.
Anyway, you are only correct to a certain extent. I am someone who has met quite a few women in my life and have heard stories from a lot of very rich men regarding gold digging whores (I am Iranian, as is my family... we have some interesting connections). It really all depends on who you marry. Women are just like men; they are all different to some extent and they are also the same to some extent as well.
You will indeed lose freedom, in a sense, by committing to any kind of relationship. But at the same time, the benefits can outweigh this. Money? Well, some of us have more than we can spend (I am not one of them). A decent women will only look for a man that can help to support them, not lavish them. But there are a lot of women who just marry to get money; that is what you have to look out for. I was lucky enough to avoid that trap a few times thanks to advice from my family. Red flags aren't hard to spot.
But on the other hand, there are some really awesome woman out there too. You just need to find them.
