In hindsight, since money is unfortunately what makes the world go 'round, worry free financial security for myself and my daughter takes precedence over personal happiness. I can survive without ever experiencing love, but it would be extremely difficult to live with myself if I weren't able to provide the best for my daughter due to the simple lack of funds.
Eta: I'm award that it is a gold-digger scape out mentality. But for me, I didn't want my child to have to live with the consequences of the poor decisions *I * have made in life.
