and when i say this i'm talking enough money to make you set for the rest of your life and enable you to do anything you want at any time or if you would take true love that would never go south no matter the consequences such as being poor as a church mouse. a good example of the reason that you cant compromise is as we all know there are those scary women known as gold diggers and they are the reason that people like celebrities marry amongst themselves instead of trying to go out in the world and find true love because they can never know who is for real or just wants their money. i think that would be a terrible life and very lonely as most of those couples break up very quickly. i now have a guy who loves me very much and a baby that we both love very much and money is definitely a problem at the moment but it doesn't bother me one bit because i have people who love me and people to love. so obviously i am on the side of true love how about you. please don't pick both as that is for our purposes cheating :)

I'm such a hopeless romantic so I like this discussion!
Okay, money is incredibly important to get by in life. But who would want all the money in the world if you were unhappy? I would go for true love. You can always make money and take care of yourself. You don't need all that money to be happy. Like the saying goes, "money can't buy happiness"
Love is essential, at least for me. So love would overrule money for me.

hey if being a hopeless romantic is wrong then the whole world might as well just end and get it over with. i think the saying that "love makes the world go round" should be practiced more fully in the world.

I would definately pick true love over money. Money is a good thing to have, but it is not everything. My husband and I have been struggling for over two years now, but we still love each other. If two people can communicate with each other and set a budget on all expenses you have. One method my husband and I have been using is to have envelopes set up for mortgage, food, clothing and entertainment. We set aside the amount of money for each item and if an envelope is empty then we know we cannot spend any more money. For example, let's say a friend of mine calls and says hey, want to go to a movie tonight, I look in the envelope and if it is empty I say sorry, I cannot afford it. Love is so important.

labeling is what helps me the most. It keeps me organized and it has helped me from over spending.

I would also pick true love rather than being a gold digger. Love can be faked in the first few months of a love affair or in a marriage, but if you don't love somebody, no matter how much money they bring into your lap you will one day show your true inner feelings towards the person and he or she will feel your emptiness and coldness of your heart.
Never mind about the money, if you have to choose between the two. But to me, it is better if I can find true love with a wealthy man, which is very rare to be found and in my case I haven't being that lucky either. I am married to an ordinary man but he is very loving and I love him in return. I admit there are times when we argue and fight, and cry over our hardship, but in the end we kiss and make up and we never come to a hostile or hatred situation. We still love each other no matter what happens and I think as we grow older together, both of us are able to think in more matured ways and this is a blessings.

that is true those people who fake love are so horrible i just don't know how they live with themselves. and i don't think there is any marriage that hasn't had a fight or two in it i have fought with my fiance many times but we always make up and never have gotten to the point of hate either were just both very strong willed people so its inevitable that we disagree sometimes. have a great day and long happy marriage!

I'd pick true love. I can earn money but true love is hard to find. I would rather work and have a job than to give up entirely on love. I think love is hard to find, yes, but if you do get to find it, I believe it's all worth the while. I think life would be very lonely if you didn't have love, no matter what form it is (friends, family, boyfriend/girlfriend), life would be lonely.

yes that is exactly it money cannot buy love or happiness it is just a means to a material lifestyle that most societies have built for themselves.

I and my husband marry 10 years ago, when we started, yes i have a stable job and my husband iS still looking for his place on earth so to speak in terms of job. through the years we work, and never and i mean never make money an issue in our married life, we always reassure each other, "as long as we are able, we will work, and as long as there's work we never will go hungry." Indeed! Love binds persons, money separates them. So i would rather go for LOVE.

i'm glad that you have never had to make money an issue. i also like your saying that love binds and money separates it is very accurate.

True love because I have felt that feeling and that is something that money cannot buy. I will take love over money any day. I will admit that money is important, but not as important as love.

true love is a very good feeling and i agree that money could never buy it actually it seems the more money someone has the less likely they are to find and kind or real love.

I see the perks of both but I would choose true love. I have never had a special someone and would love to experience it and hopefully I will have a lasting relationship with some guy out there. :) I love to travel so that would be my major perk with the money, but at the same time I think its more enjoyable to know that you earned that great trip by working hard for it...and whats a vacation without someone to share it with?

i agree there could be a perk for both but true love is i think harder to live without. i wish you luck on finding the right guy it has gotten quite hard these days i think i just got really lucky. and i hope to travel some day as i have only gone half way across the country a few times and that was only to visit relatives. good luck with everything!

You can't make love to money so I would have to go with picking love always. Love can last longer then money and money can be the root of all evil. So no I rather have the love of my life living happily ever after. I will never understand a women who marries for money only. They will never be happy as far as I'm concerned.

I will definitely go for true love,if it does exist.
money can be easily earn but you will never find a true love again,only if yous are lucky one.
money can never ensure you true happiness.true love will surely makes you happy from core of your heart

Of course we do not want our body suffers just because of true love. We need to be considered as adequate, worthy and deserving of respect. I think money is the foremost of all. Food, shelter, lifestyle and activity to mention. In the modern times money is really important. True love will come maybe once, twice or more.

wow your the first person thats in the positive for money. i do agree money in necessary for living well but i will also say that money is not necessary for happiness. and unlike money true love stays whereas money disappears fast but is easy to obtain.

if i were you, i would choose the true love. you know true love is one of the difficultiest things that we can find in world. money can be made as long as you are both have ability. But i have to say also in this real world, we must face to reality, you must think about the future and then make your decision.

yes i agree money is easy to get well sort of but true love is very hard to find and those who do are truly lucky.

True love. Absolutely.
I am fortunate to be in a relationship where love is of utmost importance; I cannot conceive sacrificing that for any amount of ca$h - and, indeed, I would sacrifice any amount of ca$h (if it came to it) to be a part of it.
If you're not a romantic (in the classic sense of the word), you're not human.

maybe all those crazy greedy people out there are not in fact humans but are evil aliens that have come to take over the earth and make real humans into their depressed beaten down slaves? or maybe i'm just nutty 0.o

True Love is ones fortune. Many people living at poverty level believe that money would solve all their problems. That is not true, money only creates "BIGGER" problems!
My husband and I have been together for 13 years. Most of those 13 years we lived paycheck to paycheck. But, we consider ourselves the riches people in the world. We have three beautiful healthy children and each other!

i agree money can cause horrible problems like my other discussion about one of my fiances relatives financially abusing his great grandma. we have been living paycheck to paycheck since i started working and now i have no job but i do have a healthy little boy and i couldn't be happier i know everything else will work itself out in the end.

ah but this is a hypothetical question hence why i said picking both is cheating of course both are important to a degree but i'm talking about being rich and never being happy or being poor to average but living a fulfilled life of love. its more of a are you a romantic or are you greedy with a prettier title.
