Love Or Money?

[Jetfire]

What is more important to you Love(Special someone, family & friends) or Money???

I heard love can get you through anything and maybe I am a little jaded but I would rather have the money and be alone.

Some people have both and are lucky...but I don't think it will work out that way for me.

Ofcourse getting money isn't easy and love suffers because of it and even if you hit the lotto money causes problems even with those you are close with.

Money can't keep you company, and you can always run out of it.

Love is more important to me.
Money is just a means to an end.

I don't think this is really a meaningful question, as it's not something people really have to make a choice over (although a lack of money can make one rather unappealing to the opposite sex). It's not like these things are mutually exclusive. Being in love doesn't mean taking a vow of poverty, not does being rich doom one to a life of loneliness.

money problems also is the number one cause of divorce.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Let's just say I don't have much in the way of money to offer right now.

I should think lots of money and no money are both fairly equal factors in divorce.

Money is important, in that you can't really live without it, but once you get to a point where you are at least comfortable, then definitely LOVE (friends, romance, partnership, family) is far more important to your happiness.

I came from a fairly wealthy family but wasn't the least bit happy. In fact, for most of my life, I was depressed and miserable. It wasn't until my 30s where I started to snap out of it. That was also when I stopped accepting money from my family. I got married (to a fairly poor guy) and we are now just an average middle-class working couple. I'm much happier--more than I have ever been.

I just know it is hard to keep up with loved ones if you are working long hours or spending alot of time getting the all mighty dollar...the situations vary I guess.

Some can have it all and others have one and not the other.

It may not be an clear choice...but some people do make the choice.
I love the line Lex Luthor made...
"Do you know what's the secret of living happily ever after is? Power. Money and power. See, once you have those things you can secure anything else and keep it that way. "

It isn't true but fun to think about.

Love, but without Money, I would not be in means, physical shape, or cleanliness to get Love, so...

 

[Capn Flukie]

Gimme the money, I'm done with love.

 

[giantmonster]

From mypoint of view love is long lasting and the side effects is a bit less in case of broke up. Money has lots of impact including the people you get to know will be just for the money...If the money goes everything goes...In this case loved ones,family, friends are more important and you could get through anything in this world even MONEY!

 

[sidious618]

I'd take happiness over both.

What is your key to happiness?

To some it is love and to others it is money(things)...unless you are on some kind of medication something has to make you happy.

I think most people want happiness.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

Seeing as i have neither, i'd settle for either one right now.


I'd rather have love though.

"I don't care what they say, i won't stay in a world without love."

This, though the hold that money has over our lives is undeniable, terrible as it is.

Though this is speaking as someone looking for love

 

[aftermath]

Have plenty of love in my life but not much money. I have mused if my life would be better the other way around but ultimately I think not. I suspect we are genetically hard-wired to favour love over money. Survival of the species, etc.

 

[Goji]

Gimme the money, I'm done with love.

This goes for me too.

 

[Warp Coil]

Meh. I already feel dead inside. I'd rather take the money. I could put it to much better use.

 

[RandyS]

Without money, you are less attractive to some people, so it would seem that money=love. Personally I find that to be a sad commentary on morality, but that's the way it is.

That said, I already have love, but I need more money.

Make of that what you will.
