op ...Money is good to have ... in relationship ... it is well known many divorces an & are fights over money ...besides cheating ... and you are not saying a specific amount of money either lol is this the kind of money prenups are made of :smile: I have had the choice a few times in my life ...money or love ... chose love ... and if the person I would be in love with wanted a prenup ... I would sign it ... so long as he shared ... and I am not talking extravagance ... I have had or done just about everything... I have wanted in my life ... so love would have to win me over ...

Don't get me wrong I'm not having a dig but this is what I don't understand. As a single person you can surely buy yourself and your children breakfast and as a single person a prospective partner can afford to buy themselves breakfast. Why therefore do we need to concentrate on more money to buy more breakfast when combined we have enough to buy the breakfast we need. Why should we rely on another person's finances to get what we want or need, shouldn't we rely on ourselves and the fact that together we will have what we need plus love.


Very well said Sir:)

In the spirit of objectivity let me share Roseanne Bittner's quote on one of her books:)


"Who is to say which is the braver thing to do?

To sacrifice one's pride, beliefs or wants (money)for love?

Or to sacrifice one's love for pride, beliefs or wants (money)?

For each individual the answer is different.

But for all individuals, either answer can bring pain, and the haunting wonder if he or she has made the right decision after all..

Money or love? To me the only time these two words come together is if you are a prostitute, a john or a pimp.

The real question is career or love? This one can get couples into trouble. Is there an instance you would choose your career over love? If you choose love could that lead to resentment, if you choose career could thst lesd to regret?

It's the free things in life that make us truly rich, money doesn't... I choose :heart:

The romantic in me says love is the most important thing.

The realist in me says love is important, but lack of money can cause breakups, even if the couple is still in love. Money struggles can kill love.

Material things that are lavish and would give you the debts would be money linked imo, some even marry for money x

Oh, I'm not talking about material things, but the ability to keep a roof over your head, put food on the table, pay bills and live comfortably. If you have kids, the ability to give them a comfortable lifestyle.

If you can live comfortably with your spouse, you can focus on each other and family, instead of money issues.

If I had to choose now between money or love I would choose money because of the struggles I'm going through right now. When I have enough money to make ends meet I would choose love...

If that's too materialistic for people then... oh well, can't please everyone huh

Wow!:) A realist lol

...i wish i am as pragmatic as you haha

- the dreamer in me wish that if the LOVE & AFFECTION is real,
if the SEX is intense and frolicsome haha preferably,
AND if both have a source of income & DO NOT SPEND MORE THAN BOTH OF YOU ARE EARNING, money is not an issue, or any issue for that matter can be addressed or resolved preferably with less pride and more kisses haha


REALITY CHECK!
- probably why until not im not yet married.lol AND will die a
withered "kick-*** SPINSTER" wallowing in metal and pop rock music haha... have a great weekend everyone:)

I don't understand why this cannot be achieved. I have had wealthy men interested in me but I found them unattractive and I didn't accept their advances. I rather feel alive being with an exciting man and struggle a bit financially than be married to a wealthy man whose touch makes my flesh crawl. Many people in the world settle for the latter, sadly. Of course, if he's both successful and sexy, that would be ideal.

You will never find me denying wanting both love and money. I can be considered an overachiever in both these fields, doing what I feel is necessary to maintain substantial relationships and being financially independent. I can honestly say being without these tends to leave a sense of incompleteness within me. I feel I'm not made to be lonely or poor. As long as I have breath in my body I will continue to strive

I honestly find your sentiments beautiful:)


BUT-

-choosing MONEY doesn't necessarily mean you will be lonely on the contrary.lol

-choosing LOVE doesn't necessarily mean, it will make you become poor

-you may not have a choice in being born poor but you have a choice in dying poor..:) and choosing love has nothing to do with it..:)

-the dreamer in me believes wholeheartedly that love actually makes you richer hahaha..in more ways than one.lol

- my way of saying ma'am I may not agree with you but I like it and respect it:)

from my point of view

Money can be earned at any point of lyf
but if ur alone money would not bring smile on ur face

on the other hand
love supports u at any situvation even ur bankcorrupt
will supports u till the end

But to find a geniune person and to be loved
is not a cakewalk

sooo love holds a upperhand for me
love is damm more imp
