Would you rather be a millionaire with no one to love you,no one you love, and no love life? Or, would you rather be a destitute in ardent love with your soul mate? Your family loves you, you have a lot of devoted friends.

Money can buy you fake love where else love can't bring you more money. Having said that, I would say both is equally important. One can't be without love and at the same time, one would like to provide the best for the love ones.

Yes, but if you don't have love, who would you share your happiness and pride about your money with? We wish to be successful, to make our loved ones proud of us. But as you said, money is also important.. Fact is this...Love rules. Money follows.

Money is never to be put sideways to love, it's just incomparable. There does exist love of money which is not the love we're talking about here so we'll exclude that. Money can provide the two loved ones a good experience and easier way of living their lives together but first of all we need the two to be in love. So the first sense of the dispute says that love is first and money next. But some people don't share this opinion nowadays. It's a bit sad. I've met more than one or two having that greedy expression on their faces like they're not just putting money in first place but it's like they don't think any other kind of love besides love of money exists. I think you'll agree here with me when I say the number of people of that type can beat the number of the opposite type, I mean with the people you know. It's a pretty big discussion that can take hours and days of talking, but in my opinion Love should be in first place but Money doesn't understand the word should. Maybe after asking the question is being in love always mean to be with someone, I mean love in general, in love with life, then money don't take a second but the same place as love because people who are in love with life need their freedom which is money. Share what you think

Hi Apresto... I understand what you're saying. Money has become the deciding factor in a lot of aspects nowadays. Well love for someone is what I call actual love. You cannot survive on love with life. You will love your life only when you have someone to enjoy this love with. You need someone to share your thoughts, feelings and warmth with. You need to know that there's someone who loves you no matter what. That feeling gives you hope and inspiration to succeed...

I think that love and money should be important. Love it`s important, but without money, will not last for ever. With money you can be happy in couple. You can make great gifts, go on holidays with your girl/boy , have fun whenever you want, buy something that you really want, make more friends. Even if you want money, you can`t be happy without having by your side your love.

I feel if the love is true, it will last for ever. You don't love a person because of the material things you do together with money. You love one because you can empathize with their feelings and thoughts. You feel the same affection ebbing from their side. That's true love. If it does not last the down money-less periods, it was never love..

Sweetie, i would rather be poor and loved, than rich with no love in my love. Money can make a lot of things happen, but love will always beat that. TATA.

I believe in love and money will automatically follow. I have been in love with my wife for the past 6 years. Things have changed since then. I had problems with money, but love has so much power that it can remove the feeling of lack. Its my love for her that motivates me to work harder everyday.

Very true...Love makes you work harder. One'll eventually surely get the money, if they have love in their life...

well for me i choose the second one bcs i prefer to be poor and live love happy with guy right for me than being unhappy even rich. we can be rich and buy a lot of things and people can answer this question and say i rather be rich bcs i can have any person to love me as long as i have money but the truth is we cant buy love. is true that everyone that is rich always have someone after them but sometimes is not for good reasons they just want take advantage of the person's money. if we are poor we have love we have everything bcs love can give us strength to fight and maybe we can find a better life if we fight with that person bcs having that person support give us hope and courage

Although both are necessary to run in this world i believe money talks here much more. I would like to stay happily with love and my parents and my friends but i would want them to be happy and content. I don't want them to be miserable and sad. In that situation i would need some money. So i would say that i need both.
