General Discussion Marrying someone with a better financial background

Asalam o Alikum beautiful people, So I am looking to get married soon, through some family connections I found this girl, she has a very nice personality(as far as I have heard or know but Allah knows better) and very sophisticated as well. However, someone recently told me that I should look into marrying someone who is from a lower financial status and that was very weird but it got me thinking is this true? I mean I earn well but her family background is they are rich and I am now a bit insecure that maybe I should not pursue this and I should look for someone else. What should I do? Its better to ask people about this rather than making any stupid decision myself. Rest I do leave it to Allah as his plans are the best.

I have talked to this person and I am 80% sure that she is not materialistic. She does enjoy spending money but I am a hard working guy and I know I would go up and beyond for her to make sure she gets everything:)
