ผู้หญิง อย่าหยุดหาผัวรวยๆ เพราะความสวย ต้องใช้ตังค์

"Girls, don't stop trying to find a rich husband because you are not beautiful enough; you can always use money."

Do I understand the advice being given correctly?

You'll have to ask the author of the quote, but it seems to me to mean that girls who lack beauty can pay guys to pay attention to them. Clearly misogynistic and misanthropic.

I think it should be like this:

Girls (or women), don't stop trying to find a husband who is rich (rich husband), because beauty needs money (as in: to be beautiful you need to use money)

Hi David (and everyone)

Long time, no see. (just passing by, don’t know I still remember my password.)

I think bobcat321 was right, though your translation also made a good point.
This was some kind of sarcastic/ironic speaking about why (most of ) girls love to find rich husbands. She loves to look beautiful. And for keeping that beauty (or having more) she needs money. One way to find it is from someone who is rich and going to be her future husband.

I prefer to translate this item as:

Girls, don't stop looking for a rich husband ; because, [to maintain your] beauty, you'll need to spend [a lot of] money.
