I want to be like Will....

I don't.

You can be single and be very happy being active and/or in a relationship that isn't rooted in any requirement of marriage.

Will was kind of an idiot IMHO, but I could empathize with his idiocy because he's not a careless fool like so many others who are born into wealth and use it to abuse those close and not so close to them.

I feel like a bit too much is made of Will's wealth. From what I can gather from the film, he's probably not as fabulously wealthy as people seem to think. Yes, he gets a substantial yearly income from royalties, but it may be more like 100k a year, not millions a year. Don't get me wrong, I'd take that in a heartbeat but I don't think he has limitless money to do anything his heart desires. If he did, he'd probably be living in a mansion with a large car collection or something. From the movie, we only know that his income is enough to afford him: a nice one bedroom flat in what appears to be a pretty nice neighborhood, one nice car, some nice stuff inside his flat, and then stuff like groceries, and bill payments. Oh and some nice gifts for Marcus, but nothing extravagant.

I haven't read the book, so maybe it completely contradicts my theory and feel free to let me know, but I don't think he's the multi-millionaire folks here seem to be implying.

Oh, and there's the Ferarri he seemed very excited by at the SPAT Meeting. If he's so rich wouldn't he just buy one rather than fantasize about it?
