I know there have been so many topics,discussions,debates about money,love,life. But,what does really matters in life,is it love or money? If you were to choose between the two,which one would you choose? I know it's a tough question,and some people wishes to choose both,but sometimes that's not possible.. Maybe there were few lucky people who were able to get both.
Hope to hear your thoughts about this. Thanks!

If I were to choose between both, I'll choose love because I know in my heart that its the one that makes me happy and contented with life no matter how poor I am financially. I believe that love is something that not even money can buy. So after all the debates and what not, love makes me happy and contented with life and that is why I chose it over money. But if you have both, you're lucky enough to have that privilege in life.
Best of luck

Hi meemingNew! Me too,we have the same point of views,but unfortunately as what a line from a song says "sometimes love just ain't enough", and it is really not enough. Sometimes we think or daydream that "love will keep us alive" it is true to be a complete person,but practicality,it can't keep us alive when we starve,we don't have shelter,we don't meet our needs. It's really sad to think that money plays a big part in our lives. If only life was as simple as before,the old age,where people are contented with what they have,happy with their simple life,doesn't need to think more that they should have. Maybe love will over power anything else in everyones lives. :(

i agree with you meemingNEW! I believe that love can conquer anything! i mean without love where would many of us be today, and your right money cant buy love!.... not true love anyways. Love is a precious thing! there are some out ther i bet who are loaded wth money but would do anything to be loved! there aint nothing wrong with being filthy rich depending on how you use it! i mean you are blessed if you have both love and money! well thats all i have to say:)

From my all walks of life, i have learned that Money makes the world go round, but i came to a point that money wont stay too long with me, but love will stay.. Your family members like your mother and father a brother or sister or a relative like a cousin or a Close Friend's LOVE will still be there even your down from your source of income. Money is the root of Evil and everyone of us knows it.! In reality money is an instrument that makes people happy, live, survive in a money-spending world and buy everything that they can buy.
My motto about MONEY is :YOU CAN BUY HAPPINESS but YOU CAN NEVER BUY LOVE.!
So settle for the things that money can't buy!

Hello, Love is Important, believe me I see it everyday. But money has a huge role to play. Big but not as big as love. So, to whom ever it may concern love will always be my choice.

I think if one does not have the money to survive, one cannot indulge in 'love'. Love alone is not sufficient for survival in this world.

Well in this world im sad to say it but money matters most first.If you are nt fiancially fit and in good shape you will quickly find yourself living in a one bedroom apartment or worse living on the street.Most people in this world waste their money on non essential things before taking care of thing like rent food and gas for their car.I think that lve matters only after you are a responsible person with your fiances and then you desereve to live with someone who respects that and is resonsible with their money and bugeting.

Yes it's true. Love cannot pay or fulfill peoples need.. Maybe,it's hard to choose money over love to someone who's used of falling in love without thinking for stability. But yes,money really matters. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)

Hi shaifulhafizal! O would also agree with in that. some girls now a days,looks for security in life before marrying a guy. Life now is really that easy,almost everyone needs to work to support themselves or their family. When you're broke,problems will arise and conflicts,issues will start up. Money is really important in the middle and lower class society.

So this question seems always catchy.
what to say in front of a woman you love? ha ha
what to say to a close friend of yours?
well, to be idealist go for love and to be on a ground reality, hey dear come on-you can't ignore money. Or in fact can anyone (including myself) honey!!
It is common experience money can maintain the love, or even foster love but reverse process or situation is not seen in general.
Find out yourself.
I bet there might be an eyeopener waiting for you. hmmm
thanks

it is really depend on what kind of situation a person is. if a person living in a good environment, he no need to worry about daily expenses, perhaps he will think love is important to make life perfect. if a person is struggling in life, having a financial problems, think about where to get money for life, he can just live without love, money is all he need to survive. i will choose money for this time, because it is the one i needed most now.

If you ask a direct question like this, every once said that "money is not a matter, love is import",
But love is not full fill our needs,
i like money,
and
i love my family.
i need money to develop my family.

I think there needs to be a balance between these two. Love and money. All of us need love, and all of us need money too. Without love, we'll feel empty, we'll feel that there is a part of us that is not complete. As such, love is important.
Money, on the other hand, is important too. Without money, there are many things that we are unable to do. If we don't even have the money for food, how then do we have the energy to do other things?
Therefore, I believe that both are of importance but they do weight differently at different points of our life

That's my point of view before,but when I think of being happy,I miss having someone that I love and who loves me. But I don't want to have a hard life. To live a life of problems financially. Now a days,when money became a problem,everything in ones life is affected. And I don't want that to happen. Sigh... :( :(

...haha...for me i prefer love...although everything depends upon the situation...love is the main source of everything...you won't get more money if you don't love making money, would you?...your business will not grow and gain more profit if you don't love your business, right?...money can be earn out of love and determination to work hard for it....everyone can have both or should i say, we have both...it is just that few people knows how to save both money and love..=)

I personally think money is a little more important than love. If i don't have any money or a way of supporting myself i don't feel like i can possibly love anyone other than my family, because ill be to busy stuck on the fact that im broke. I don't believe in using others for means of money or really depending on other people to get me the things that i want and need. Considering the fact that when i dont have any money im mad at the world anyway, living off of love is not going to pay me. We all need money to survive in this world.

This is really a tough as well as common issue. But I am a firm respondent of this common issue choosing love over money. Simply because, money can earn and spend that easy, easy to find easy to spend. Unlike love, though it also earned but it took time and someone who took so many sacrifices and burdens just to have ne inlove and be loved, would learn to value it.

Hi prettyauds
How are you doing today.
Actually, I wanna choose love. Even though I have a lot much money to burn. But if I have no love. I have nothing. I think the most important thing in this world is love. Of course the moeny is very important, but I just wanna say, love is more important than money. So, my answer is I will choose love, but I will make a effort to make moeny. Because money will make my life better.

I would choose money over love as more important. I believe that right now, it's insanely difficult to live on love alone. Love can't pay for the school fees, the grocery, the electricity and water bills, the furniture, or all the other necessities of life. However, I don't need a gold mine to live. If I am able to live comfortably, that means no financial problems whatsoever, with the person I love, then I'm already happy just being by this person's side.

specialy its not to choose one in every situation its depend on situation and at that tim on your humanity because you can make money if you lose but you will not get the person you love and once you loose love tou will think yhis life a hole so if its your most lovable and you have faith on that and that also on you then you should bot break that heart because once you looe your love then you cant make it..........................................
