A basic standard of living matters, money doesn't. You don't even need money, you could go and work for somebody in return for goods and services, accomodtion. I kept my ex for eight years, she never worked, and never signed, she never had any money, I paid for everything, flat, bills, food, clothes, nights out, drinks, telephone, mobiles, sky tv. So money certainly wasn't important to her.
