I am reading a great book called The Secrets of a Millionaire Mind. If you have not read it I would advice you to get one today. It's great. In his book the author says that people who are broke say things like money is not as important as love, or money is not everything.
So I was thinking when it comes down to it, which would you rather have, Money or Love?? Think carefully here...

Money's great and it definately helps you through life but having someone with you to love is something that can't be measured. While I'd like to have money to do whatever I want...I wouldn't give up the love of my Hubby or family for it.

LOVE!!!!! IT is way more important than money. Money is still important you need it to survive, but for spiritual and emotional health you can't live without love.

hi momma!
well, i clearly chose love over money. i married a man who doesn't have a stable job because i love him and i believe that he is God's best for me. and i believe that my calling is to be the breadwinner for our family because my husband will have to serve in church. we are not wealthy, but we are not broke either. God has given us grace to provide everything that we need, and He has given us wisdom to use the money that He has given us. my husband and i are very happy and i cannot imagine myself being married to another person.
take care and God bless! :-)

I definitely choose love. It is the most important. I know, in order to live you need money..but also you need love. As long as you have love you can have anything. My fiance told me a few months ago that I was only with him because he earns pretty good money. I told him like I have said before, I would rather have you and live in a shack, than live in a mansion and not have you.
Money is material, it buys material things. WHen you die you cant take the material things with you. But you can take the love and kindness that you share with other people. So hands down, love is my choice and it always has been.

There are a lot of rich, very rich, very very unhappy, lonely people. I am not rich, nor am I broke. BUT I say I would rather have love. Money cannot buy friendship, love, nor happiness. Money buys material things. Money is important. You have to be able to pay your rent/mortgage, lights, food, etc. but money should not rule your life. I just recently bought a house. We could have afforded a huge newly built home. But we opted for a smaller, older home. Why? Well one, we fell in love with it and two, why put us in a spot where we MUST both work constantly to pay a mortgage? With this house one of us could easily pay the mortgage if one or the other got ill or worse. People just need to prioritize their lives and decide what is important to them. Having the HUGE home and fancy cars, or having a decent life with the necessities of life. I have to say that I would much rather have what I have than be super rich. It would be nice to not have to work, but at the same time, I like knowing that those people in my life are tehre because they want to be, not because they are hoping for a handout.

i choose love because when you have love you have happiness and feel complete even not in material things specially when you have your own family, husband, children that always love and very supportive everything will be okay even you dont have lots of money but ofcourse we still need money we cannot leave without it we need that for food, education for our children and some financial problem.

I would choose enough money for everybody in the world! :) When everybody has enough money, they will have time to enjoy life.. they will really be happy then and, only truly happy people can love. So love follows money. Cheers!

I have never ever chosen money over love. I have been with very very wealthy men, not even knowing their value at the start and also dirt poor men. Their income is not ever something I look at or care about. I am very independent and do not want, expect nor do I feel anyone owes me a dam thing on this earth. I make my own way on my own and likewise I expect my partner to do the same. I don't expect anyone to pull my weight nor will I pull theirs.

"Money of course you can always rent love". just kidding. That's an old line from "married with children". But I think if i had to choose I'd probably go for the money cuz I've tried love and it stinks. I joke because I think the answer is pretty obvious.

i also have a doubt on this for several years. but this concluded with my real time experiences. first you should determine what is love. love for what? when you keep loving something you must want to gain from it anyway. selfishness remains in there invsibly where we start loving. but where as in the money matter, since money doesn't talks! and therefore we will still using for our satisfactions upto the maximum limit. we love money because it doesn't interrupt us with its feelings.
the love otherthan money doesn't consider its circumstances and possibilities. this is the reason why love is different to mony. i am sure of it that when there is love, there will be no money. but if there is money, there might be possibility of love.

I would choose love and the money would come later. I'm not much of a reader though. I have struggles to have both love and money. Neither one of them is easy to come by for me. I work very hard for both of them.

This is very easy for me to answer as money CAN NOT buy happiness. The proof is in looking at all of the celebrities who appear to have everything and yet they are extremely unhappy.
God is love. Not only that, there is nothing in this world that you have to have money to obtain. God does not always use money to bless his children. You can win things, you can be given things. That is one of the things that impresses me about God. He is not limited by the worlds resources.
When I am done and depressed, going shopping might help temporarily. But, I need to be able to run to the people who love and care for me. Money can not hold me and tell me that every thing will be alright. I guess you can always hire someone to tell you what you want to hear.

I chose for money because I have already the person who really loves me. When I have lots of money then we can be happy together. We will make our dreams come true. Be old together with money of course.
