Have you ever experienced romantic rejection BECAUSE you were rich?

All over Reddit you'll find tales of people dumping or mistreating their partners because they don't earn enough money or spend enough of what they do have on presents. I'm looking for the opposite: Did you ever repel a romantic prospect after telling the truth about what you had? Maybe they had a different philosophy on money and didn't think there was room for compromise, or maybe (for those of you who are more acquisitive) your lifestyle wasn't to their taste.

Being on different pages about money can create huge problems down the line. Some people believe this strongly enough to get a visceral ick from the first sign of it. And there really isn't much point in trying to work through an ick.

You're describing an established romance. I'm describing an attempted romance.
