<prompt> Human: Is it possible to get married to someone who, like myself, has 5k yearly income, and qualify for massive financial aid? From the research Ive done married couples are independents whose financial aid is based off of their combined income ... Where are the drawbacks? Why isnt this a thing that gets done all the time? Additional information: the idea has been jokingly batted around between me and a female friend for a long time, it would be both of us using the other for financial gain. Romantic indeed.  <response>: How romantic.
