I asked same question to my husband and he says....
It depends on what kind of "love" and how much money.
I don't think the bottom line is love or money. The bottom line is how much you love.
One should find most parents gives unconditional love to their offsprings but extremely conditional love to their partners.
For someone who love unconditionally, money is not an object.
And I say love with money would be perfect.
No comparison possible. I can't live without both of them.
What do u say??

First... why do you need to choose?
There are no conflict between the two... unless you choose to make it a conflict.
It is all about achieving a right balance between the two.
Too many men sacrifice love for money because of their greed for money. They try to buy the love of their wife by throwing money at her... for making up working long hours and not being with her... until she decides to leave with half of his money.

Yes... it is even easier to criticise people's answer when one is incapable to answer someone's question.
What would you know about being poor?
How do you know that poor people cannot be happy?
Try to tell it to my 80 year old mother who has been poor all her life.
You keep trying to convince and re-assure yourself that you got it right and all the poor people have got it wrong. Until someone tells you how wonderful and smart you are... you are going to continue to feel insecure.
So please... can all the members on mylot tell Plooker how wonderful he is...

You are not contributing anything.
All you do is annoying people by criticising their answer.

hi there. i think judging on my experience, i choose money over men! but where my kids are involved, money could never take their place. i agree with what you said about unconditional love for kids but conditional lover for partners. so true!

I surely choose love. It is true you need money to entertain life, you can't live without them, but if you have love you surely can make money too. Inverse it is hardness because you can't buy love with money. Fortune smiled upon me because i had choose love without too much money but we are truly happy together and we make the money with the help of love.

I will choose love over money, any day of my life. Money is something I can come by myself, but love is something wonderful and sacred between two people who should be totally compatible. If there is real love then two people are soul males, like my husband and I. You can't buy that kind of thing with money.

I choose love overall. Love is something that can't compare to any amount of money if it is true and sincere. Me and my girlfried have been together for almost 5 years now and we've been through thick and thin. We've had a lot of monetary issues but it didn't stop our relationship. We're still growing stronger and stronger because of our love. Now I'm happy to say that money is not a problem for us anymore and we manage to stay in love through the years.. with or without money.

Yes you are absolutely corect because both of them are equally important. Without love money had no use and without money love tends to decrease. Both of them are the perfect mix to live in this beautiful world but the priority goes to love because love is such a wonderful thing that makes our life enjoyable and peaceful. It fulfills our lifes. Take care deepti bye.

Of course I will choose love rather than money. I know money is very important, but love is much more important to me. I think we can work hard and earn money together. I prefer to sit in the back seat of the bicycle rather than crying in the luxury car. I will not be happy if there is no love in my life. Money can't buy true love, as you know.

I will choose love over money. money can be earned by anyone at anytime, but its noteasy to get love or to be loved by someone. money may get used up but love remains forever and only increases with time. I have sen many people who are rich but not happy as they do not have any genuine friend or someone who loves them unconitinaly. I would anytime give preference to love over money

Once the LOVE factor makes somebody a strong and well assured person emotionally, then it would no a big task to think of money. Life stages involve fulfillment of our desires one at a time predominantly. Like education n childhood,work, marriage, children.....So, as such I can not say either of them are not required...i mean i need both.At the moment it is money..

Love conquers all no matter what. I would take love over money any day. but money it comes and goes and usually goes real fast, true love lasts forever.

I agree with you, no one can live with love alone or money alone, but if someone does, he sure be in misery or trouble. Though try to analize my additional explanation below.
If you have someone whom you love and love you in return, he will become your partner in life. He will support you and always be at your side. Perhaps when at first both of you dont have money, you can do your best, and together be able to find money that you need.
ON the other hand if you have money and nobody loves you and vice versa, still you will find emptiness inside. Since we are born social being we need people around us, most especially people to love and live our life with everyday.
So even if personally and honestly I go for love and money, my first preferrence is Love.
