Never marry or even become involved with a person from a different social class than you.
If you marry, as a previous poster termed them, an American Prince or Princess, the spoiled brat is going to demand you furnish them with the same expensive standard of living as their Mommies and Daddies provided.
And if you can't, like Paul Belger? Then odds are your pampered upper-crust spouse will drop you like a hot potato.
(Incidentally: I wonder if the main reason Marisa decided to stay in the marriage was to write about it? After all, it's hard for rich white American girls to find dramatic inspiration for their stories, seeing as their lives offer no real problems...Gossip Girl, anyone?...on which to craft tales)
Bottom line: middle-class folk are happiest with middle-class folk. And spoilt, coddled rich brats should just do the world a favor and pair off only with their pampered peers. I'm guessing this would tremendously decrease the divorce rate and so on.
