Tru love or $?
Would you rather be loved or be rich?

[TakeAStepBack]

Love is a chemical imbalance of the brain and "money" is just paper.

I'll take door #3. Truth.

[cdrhead]

Love is fleeting, money is nothing........what to do ?

Love is always the answer

[melissaphish]

I would not trade my husband's love for all of the money in the world. He makes me feel like a million dollars every day.

[Karen]

Love.

[Rionach aka Spec K]

ok - would you give everything up - all your 'stuff' for love ?

[syd_25]

I moved 3000 miles for love and could only take what would fit in a pickup truck. So yeah, I'd give up all my stuff for love.

Really happy I never have to make that choice again.

[TEO]

Love
Give up all material possessions, yes.

[TakeAStepBack]

Are you sure? You're gonna give up shelter, food, clothing, etc....for love?

[JBetty]

[Tim the Beek]

Love.

me too...cept I could only take what fit in 2 suitcases and 1 carryon....

I think I could be content living in a dirt floor cabin with that ideal love.

[TEO]

In the meantime while I don't have it, could I have the money please?

[Tim the Beek]

I can get more stuff. Or grow it or gather it or make it.

Love.

[jnjn]

when i was very young my father said he would cut me off if i moved in w/ my boyfriend. i said go ahead, so...love

[TEO]

Where is that boyfriend now? eh? I can't hear you.

la la la la

[jnjn]

moving back in w/ my parents once that shit crashed & burned was definitely not an option...good thing i had that grant to live on for a while

[melissaphish]

I can replace my clothes and CDs and whatnot. I can live without photos and other things that are perhaps irreplaceable.

[Ginger Snap]

The question is all wrong. Of course Love under any condition. The question should be sex or money? In which case- polyamory!

[Rionach aka Spec K]

sure...people say love over money...but do they mean it?
how many unhappy couples stay together because they enjoy the comfy lifestyle?

[Roasted and Toasted]

Love, because to me, material things mean little without it.

[TEO]

That definition of love does not fit mine.

[Tim the Beek]

Can't speak for anyone but myself, but I mean it.

I've made the choice to give up financial security in order to be happy before, and I would do it again.

Yup - same here.

i walked away from the home of my dreams (literally...i dreamed the house was mine for years and when i saw it go on the market, bought it) and a very comfortable life in order to find true love.

i'm sure a lot of people settle for less than what they really want in a relationship because it seems easier to stick with what you know. but i've started over from scratch three times in my life (at age 18, 22 and 35) and have learned that the less hung up you are about 'stuff' the more you're able to focus on what really matters.

You don't get a cabin when giving up material posessions. Unless Im doing this all wrong. in which case, i'll just take all three.

and mind over matter
to do what you do that you must
when the things that you hold
can fall and be shattered
or run through your fingers like dust"

[TakeAStepBack]

Well, we're all dancin' bones in that regard. At least I'm enjoying the ride?

You've been hanging out with the trolls too long.

[Eco]

I focused on money more than love.....got a shit ton of money....lived a money life....great without budget trips/toys....lost love....lost interest in money/material shit.....ended up "poor"....without the love.....give me the fucking money back......I"ll go to Thailand and purchase nightly love.

Was thinking it was only the material possessions I have at this point in time.

stuff is cool then boring quickly, love is perfect then painfully absent.

Love comes and goes...so does money...so I guess they are the same...you can't have one without the other.

interesting...

[Jwheelz]

love

[PieDoh]

I'm in the mood for love....simply because you're near me...

What is this thing called love?

Tis better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all...


Vouléz vous couchet avec moi ce soir?

[tyedyedee]

In the meantime while I don't have it, could I have the money please?

serz

[Karen]

This is different question.

My answer to it is yes.

again, why so bitter?

[china cat]

Love.

[Eco]

again, why so bitter?

Prolly cause I'm going to have to plant my romaine salad from seeds since the Home Depot ran out of plants. Also cause some of the sex workers in Thailand are really men and that sort of stuff freaks me out...... Actually I'm almost never bitter (might seem that way on-line).....but I'm not. I can find comedy and enjoyment don't matter what happens in life....except if a Thai hooker whips out a dick.

Note- I have never been to Thailand....never seen a hooker whip out a dick....

Money, no doubt. People's definition of "Love" varies. In today's world, I don't put much faith in the term "love" except for my children. With a divorce rate hovering around 50%, what happened to the love expressed on the wedding day? Gimme the money and I'll stick to loving my kids.

[Erinisme]

love hands down. Love in general not only the love of a SO. I'd rather be loved by others then have tons of people around me who are 'friends' due to my money.

of course I'd love to have one special man to share my love with specifically, but I take love in general
