When I was down in Seattle three weeks ago, I talked to this random guy at a bar who was 45ish. He'd had the whole gambit of experiences, and had recently divorced after a 23 year marriage. Before and during his marriage he was very well off, to the point that he at one point owned a marina and two very nice boats. He had a very nice house and a - by the American Dream - great life.
Nowadays he owns an a banking business that sells ATMs to bars and other places. It makes him decent money.
The most revealing thing he said throughout the whole conversation was that it was the times that he was broke that were the best. He'd had it all, and he preferred the times that he was broke because when he finally did get something, it felt so great. When he had the money to get whatever he wanted, he never got that 'Sense of Accomplishment' that we as humans (for some reason) always seek.
Just something to keep in mind. Don't run away because it might be easier money wise. Run away if you really don't love her enough to make it worthwhile.
