Kotowaza of the day: While we're on the subject...

Japanese:
金の切れ目が縁の切れ目

Romanized:
Kane no kireme ga en no kireme

Meaning of Japanese:
When the money runs out, so does the love
The end of the money is the end of the relationship

English equivalent:
When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out of the window
Out of money, out of mind
Nobody loves you when you're down and out

There's a german proverb that those who marry for love have good nights and poor days.
