Marry for money or marry the loved one?

My parents have been looking for arranged marriage matches for me for four years now. I was in a relationship for three years and broke up a year ago due to religious differences. It was my ex's decision to break up. I have successfully moved on. My parents finalized an arranged marriage match three weeks ago. I said yes because I saw how worried and restless they were to get me married, which broke my heart. My age is their biggest concern. However, I haven't gotten engaged yet. The boy's family is happy, and so is mine. The guy hails from a wealthy family and earns well. The boy's family asked my parents to pay for the entire wedding, to which my parents agreed. They were hoping to split the amount, but being the bride's father, my dad thought it was best to accept the boy's father's condition. On the other hand, I kept looking for love, as I still very much believe in love and marriage. However, I haven't had any luck. I'm not able to connect with the guy or any other guy my parents have introduced to me. Should I continue looking for love (with my age being a concern), or should I marry the guy my parents chose for me?
