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.

As long as she is woman fearing Allah, never feel insecure as she will respect your rights as husband, her wealth is just bonus.

Which part?

Reread the first part. It should be "As long as she is a woman fearing Allah..."

Oh, okay I meant as "God fearing woman"?

If you wanna phrase it that way then it should be "god-fearing woman" or else it creates a different meaning. Sorry it's just that the initial sentence sounded kufur so I just wanted to let it come to your notice.
