For me it is love but then again one can't live on love alone. But if I could live on love alone then I would be one of the richest people around! I still have to say Love is more important to me. I share so much love with the people in my life (mostly family) Which is more important to you? Is it money or is it love?

I'm with you, love is more important. I've known a lot of people over the years who had money but not love and they were miserable but at the same time have also known a lot of poor people with lots of love that were some of the happiest people I've ever known.

It is great to be loved but as you say one cannot always live on love alone. Although sometimes those who love you will help you out when need be. And of course loving others is very important also. I heard it best said in a tape on wealth and success building. Love people but use money. This is in contrast to what many people do and that is to love money and use people.

For me, I would also say that love is more important. Money is nice to have but without love, the world can be a very lonely place. That and I am so used to not having money so I don't really know what it is like.lol.

Love. Sure money is nice but it also tends to lead to greed. As they say, money cannot buy you happiness. It's definitely true. Sometimes money even intimidates people and they do not know how to act around you. Love is important. When we feel loved we feel like we can do anything we put our minds to. Our spirits stay high when we feel the love of another.

"money don't buy happiness, but they sure maintain it"... or something like that. for me, love IS happines. :) but if i have to choose, i choose LOVE anyday... 'cause i've seen how it feels like to have lots of money and no one to spend them with. now, i see how it feels to have people to spend everything but money (they;re gone) with... and it rules!!! :)

Both are important for me, and I don't think that having one of them without the other is a choice for me.. I want them both :)

Money only has as much value as you yourself give it. Love on the other hand means just as much no matter what you do. Love is what keeps every one going for if there is no love there is no life and if there were no life there would be no need for money. But is love not it's own form of money? With love you can buy more time with a loved one. Or you can get affections and love from another loved one which would make you more happy then money could ever dream of. If it were up to me the world would run on loves money but that is not the case because there is so much hatred today.

love is more important to me than money. I'll die without love and i can live without money. just like what my situation righ now, i am broke buit i am still happy because I am loving someone. And because i am loving someone, i have the courage and will to keep on and to continue living...and to continue living i must find ways and one of them is to find how to earn some money...we just got to admit that we need money to buy food to it is also important that we also have some money right?

Money ..it's all the more important to me in the present situation . I do not believe that with money comes all the problems . On the contrary ,I carry with me the firm conviction that money can bring in quite a lot happiness, love ,affection and comforts that you desire in life .

Always love and just love. Money is important in our life we can't do anything without but love is more important.

Love it's the most important thing for me. But I need the others to love me, not only my husband, but all my family and friends and I think that people that seams to prefer money it's only because they need others to like what they are and they think that money is the way to get it.

Well really a question you should ask is "Which has a higher priority, love or money?" That is by far a tricky one. Honestly this is a question that pops everyday to me. I have to deal with the feeling of, which is most important to me... the love of my life or my own well being (which strongly involves money). And every day I choose my love, mainly because I have faith it in. If I struggle... I'm not going to be alone and there is nothing worse than struggle then doing it alone. ya know? But love is very much more important to me. I guess that's really all I really want out of life. By golly, Im gonna get it. =D
