Do you value money and property over love and relationship? yes or no, how huge the gap is?
I love money I’m honest.
Not money specifically but like personal success and feeling good about myself on my own is imo more important than anything else. Money is just one part of that.
That's a tricky one. I can't accept love but there are plenty of people I care about & would like to provide for & to do so requires monetary means or my time & effort.
I'm gonna go with money and property but only because I love & want to share.
What is with nihilistic people being unable to believe that people can value love over monetary gain? Never understood that and the only thing I do understand is they live a rather sad life.
I've been poor most of my child-teenage life, living in rundown apartments [with the heater that was always on during the summer but never on in the winter] crawling with cockroachs and bum fights down the road [no joke, one time, there was even a big thing because there were like twenty of them fighting in the street because it got out of control of the condemned ones down the road] living off of hotdogs and mac n cheese pretty much every day.
Then as a young adult [around 20ish], when my roommate was diagnosed with leukemia and couldn't work, I know what it is like to work two jobs and do nothing but sleep and work just to pay the bills. Now I live pretty comfortably in a new house in a new neighborhood.
So... I know what it is like and love is far, far more valuable. Even now while I know that apartment and townhouses of my childhood were crap, I have fond memories of them because of my family who I loved.
They're both important. Money can't hold you when you cry and it won't ever remember your birthday or that song you love so much. But love doesn't pay the bills or make you any less hungry when you have nothing to eat.
I definitely value people over things, and spending time over spending money though.
Well I see no point in being rich and lonely. Look how the Grinch turned out, dude wanted to steal a whole holiday all because he ain't have a female yeti to spend it with.
No. Love & Relationship >>>>>>> $$$ & property.
I Like Both but money and stuff you don't need wont help you in real life.
Love. Money doesn't really make you happy in the end. You just think it does. Love is real, genuine. Money is just a BS thing made up by humans. Take away it's supposed "worth" and it's just green paper. It's just fuel for the materialistic fire that will probably ruin us all.
If money doesn't existed, people will lazy and you won't able to use your computer here.
@ccthor: People are lazy even with money existing.
Also if I had to pick between a relationship with a beautiful woman, and talking to strangers on the internet...I mean the choice is fairly obvious.
I believe it is hard to maintain love without security. Money provides security. “We don’t need anything as long as we have our love” is hogwash. You need food, clothing, and shelter first and you need money to purchase those necessities.
If you plan on living alone, money. If you want a relationship, a real one, you can't put money ahead of your love.
I love money I’m honest.
Going with money.
At least money exists
Love is just an illusion

@spareheadone: 'At least money exists

..
Romantic Disney-type love is an illusion, but love is real.
When you have a son or daughter and you look at her/his eyes for the first time, you will understand how that is worth more than all the money in the world.
Trust me.
And this comes from a guy that, heaving two kids, gets up every morning knowing how important it is to have money to care, house, feed and provide education to your children.
@arthur_morgan: "90% of the ppl lie when they say love>>>money.
thats a fact."
...
You need means to get to an end.
Then you turn the means into the end.
That happens to all the persons that value money over love.
What to hear a fact?
You confuse been 'in love' with actual real love.
The first is about the attraction two individuals feel towards what they NEED from the other.
The latter is something completely different.
Equally, as I do need money to provide for the person I love. The feeling a love one can give outweight money imo. That being said, I would not lower myself to poverty to be with a girl, as the economic instability will decreased my happiness even if I am with someone I love. I think its healthy to not overvalue one on top of the other and make compromises.
@spareheadone: I usually try to stir away from personal questions around the web, but, 5 years for one and 10 months for the other.
Two incredible boys.
@jgames: True. Many people tend to think that if you chose love over money, you don't value money at all.
For me, money is very important. Like, very important.
It is just that one must give each thing the value it has. We must remember that money must not be the top and foremost choice without forgetting that in the society where we live, you need money to live.
Love is important, but without property and money, living conditions suck. I prefer having my own house and the money I have verses simply being in love with nothing to my name.
@spareheadone: You are full of surprises.
And you are right it was I who got personal first. Thanks for sharing, and congratulations on your beautiful family.
I guess money and love are both important in different ways. Just like all of us, that are built of flesh and dreams.
