Would you choose money over love?

for myself personally, I think that in today's economy you cannot simply judge a person based on their income or lack thereof. Therefore, I would definitely choose love, as long as I knew that the person who I loved so dearly felt the same for me. Money issues can always be dealt with, but Love is a beautiful thing and should never be cast aside lightly. I think the person who has true love is far richer than the person who has lots of money but is lonely.

this story was actually happening to me. I'm with someone for 4yrs. 2006 i was newly high school graduate. i meet the one i loved. when the 1st. time i dated him, he was so lazy he, don't want to do nothing he enrolled i university but he doest take any exam or attending classes, almost every day he only do is going to gym, go out with friend & wake up at 16.00. he was only changed when i was starting to be better in university and we are almost equal. now he was changed he became a man that i never expected that he could be. he always there for me. specially in times of need, he pays my parents debts even thou his not rich, just to make sure that i will be OK. and now for 1 yrs. i lived with him at his parents house. bec. my parents, they don't want to support me. . or even to pay my university. i work & study a lot to support my study. because i don't want to depend on my boyfriend and to his family, and for me his already sacrificing to much for me. i work so hard that i was not be able to passed any exam this year. and this year I'm not sure if i could afford to pay my university. last month my friend introduced, me a guy he was economically stable, hi was a DEPUTY CHIEF OF MISSION ........ i could not tell exact information to maintain his privacy. not truly old for me he was 33 and i was 26. but he almost look like my father. hi said he likes me, his willing to help me, he will support my family economic needs, he was also willing to take the responsibility to get my little sitter who's inside a social service because my parents can't afford to support her. all i have to do is to left my boyfriend, to stay with him amd loved him. and next year he, want to get married and have a baby before he became a ambassador. i got shocked at this proposal. i never expected. if god only exist, he know how i suffer about my family situation, having a parents incapable of doing nothing, two little sitter who didn't grow up with. all this problems i have the only answer was that DIPLOMAT guy.

If I was in love with someone, I would not notice the other. Love fulfils a person and they want or need nothing or no-one else. It's only when I am unhappy and unloved that I seek true love.

Hello friend this is quite tough to choose which is which...well, it would be very hard to tell. Not unless if both situation would never have a chance anymore. I mean, does a poor one no more chance to get rich? Does the rich one no more chance to be loved? We can never tell isn't it? It is really hard to tell because we can't predict the future. Who knows the poor one would get richer than the one you presently compared? Who knows the rich one which you don't have love you learn slowly to love him in the future? We can never tell... Mobhomeir here...

I would stick with the one that I love unless he is just so irresponsible that he feels compelled not to work. Material things are just that. Here for the moment and very much disposable, and obtainable. They hold not great for long. Leaving a relationship that is secure and has an established understanding for promises and material things would not be wise. Promises are often illusions of happiness which lead to great disappointment when broken. It's a big chance to take and ultimately it is about self happiness. Material things and luxury cannot bring about this. I would rather be in love and broke than to be rich and unsatisfied as a whole person. Mentally, physically, and spiritually.........

Your discussion is really interested me. If i have a people who love me very much and he/she jobless and cannot afford to give my future. I will not love her if she don't try to make life better. If she try to get live better but she still poor i also love here. that's my opinion friend!

hi deve, life is ours but not in our hands,we think that we are doing this thing and that thing,but we are the puppets in the hands of god,what ever written in our luck and fate that will happen ,according to that our minds also change like that,but i am gent i may go for better life without leaving my present wife,have a nice day

hhhhhmmmmmm... tough decision to make.... my mom always told me to go for the one who could give me a comfortable life.... LOL... mothers... of course, it would be nice if the guy had all... well to choose, i suppose i would go for the one i love.. if he's not rich, we could do something about it... if he is jobless, we could do something about it too... especially that he would get inspired with living a life with someone he loves and loves him back... ^_^

I would go for the one who can make life easier, but..but definitely not for the money. First, if this two exist in my life, meaning, the rich one would not come to me if there was no feeling involved, so the reason of coming to me and being a part of my choice is that he has a feeling for me too. Second..yes I might be so inlove with the other one, but how do he love? If he love me then he has to prove me even in a simple, find a job and present himself responsibly. If in this early stage, he could not show me a reason to choose him, how much more if we are together? On the contrary, the other one might love me more than I do, but if there is nothing to start an argument for he is willing to to all the best for me, love for sure will prosper.

I would choose love over money. In fact, I am living that life right now. I've chosen the man I will be with for life because I love him. Yes, he is not able to provide all my needs but I am satisfied with our life right now.

I would leave him because he cant afford what i want. I would get a job for myself for my needs. I know that if he didnt have a job then he would find one. I dont think that having alot of money is important. Somtimes the richest peole in the world are the saddest.

I believe in taking care of yourself. I'm an independent person. I would not marry for money, but I would not marry someone who is unemployed, even though I love him. I believe in taking care of your own needs and not depending on someone else to do it for you.

Tough decision needed here. At this point,I am confuse to what to choose. It's really hard,for I have to think of a lot of things in my life. Have to consider so much. As for your question,I'm also asking myself which to choose. Sigh.. :(

...since i am a guy, in my own personal opinion, i would choose the person i love of course..so what if she don't have work? so what if she can't afford my needs? im the guy after all..lol..but even if it was the other way around..i would still choose the person that can make me feel happy and whom i love..when there is a will there is a way..=)

I wouldn't ever choose money over love. I might choose to earn of doing something with my family if we really need it because that's what any good father would do. If I didn't bring home money, we wouldn't have any but I wouldn't ever choose money fully over love. Love last's longer, money comes and goes. It's not all that important if you live your life by your means :)

I'm not saying it is good to be materialistic, but love is just not everything. We can live without love but we can't live without money in this world. If there is only two options for me, I will choose the second one. It is always a tough decision for us, guys we should work harder to earn more money so that our partner no need come through this decision.

i surely would like to have both... having money, then buying love is beyond me... even giving love to have money is despicable... always, let things have their natural and spontaneous way... don't you think that's better?

I will give a chance to the person I love. I will help him to be positive enough to find job and to be stable. Of course, I am sure that I will be an inspiration for him to change his life IF he is really in love with me and he doesn't want to lose me. We can do it together all the changes to make our love worth. Now a days, I can observe that love doesn't even count. There are women who marry rich men just to make their lives stable and vice versa. Not only for themselves but for their families. It's being practical! Maybe they will learn to love soon!

very tough decision... maybe ill choose none... eheh!!! coz the guy who is jobless means that he is irresponsible... he cant even take care of himself... how will he ever take care of me... and our kids in the future.??? the other guys is full of promises... hah! arent promises made to be broken??? no thanks!! id rather have my own life... eheh!! happy mylotting!!

i rather choose the person whom i love we can help each other in the first place,if he is jobless i will try to help him and support him in finding a job.every problem has its own solution,we need to be considerate,,i think we just hold onto what we feel.well anyway its all depend on yourself on what will you choose.
