Money Or Love ?

[changesoul]

If you have to choose between Money or Love which one you will choose & why?

You cannot have both u have to make one choice which will be urs?

Love, I think . I know how to slum it when I need to. I'm assuming choosing money means living in luxury with an absolute bastard. If it was money and living by myself I'd go for money. I quite enjoy my own company.

@SarahBellam

Average jobs and salary would net about £60k. If that was the case I’d choose love every time. I’ve lived in a loveless marriage and we had a combined income of £120k. I was miserable. I just had better shoes and an extra house.

Let's say Both salary is £20k so total is £40k

Money.
Love won’t put a roof over your head and feed you.

It depends on the loveless relationship. Is there mutual respect and friendship? Also how much money are we talking about

Let's say income is £120k combine and house,savings & every year 2 holidays anywhere u would like.

Love with an average income would beat no love with a high income for me any day.

I didn't really have love in hindsight and now I have no money either!
So I'd just settle for happiness and that means to me sharing and laughing and doing things together.

@grapewine

Ten years ago? Love. Now? Money.

Me too

Love is all you need. Is this your dillemma ?

Right now, I'll take the money lol

Well I would normally say love but going through such a rough patch atm I’d say money would be my choice. But I’ve got children and more money would give them a great start in life. Before kids I would have said love.

Money, unfortunately love does not seem to last, might as well be rich

It would seem money for women which is why the is naff all all chance of me marrying anyone and giving them a legal entitlement to any of my assets.

Money.

Money and an affair

Love, you can earn more money. DH and I have tripled our income since we first got together and are both on track for further promotion. I would never like to feel bought or owned because I'm indebted to someone.

Respect. Having that, either love or money are fine.

That's so true.

Love. Based on the conditions set in OPs second post, I've already got that so I'm happy 😊

Everlasting love.

Short term love? Then I'd pick money.

When younger love

Now money

As long as there's enough money for a roof over your head and for food, love, obviously.

For the 2 scenarios you made up i would pick love of course.. it's barely even any more money. 120k is not enough to remove money stress. You still have to work.

I would pick money though if it was enough to retire and spend frivolously.

Money absolutely does buy happiness but quite often people don't choose to buy happiness with it.

Well, DH and I earn a joint income of £50k. We rent our house, have two kids, haven't had a holiday abroad in a decade and frankly it's been a hard time since the DC were born.

Would I give it all up for a fancier house, more money and a holiday? Nope.

If I was homeless and completely on the bones of my arse, I might think differently.

Love.

It's the highest form of truth.

Thankfully I love myself
