Abram: I don't know about that, typomatic, I've been disabled for more then 28 years, and have found Love to be the greatest support of my life. Support, and great times, that no amount of money could buy, or that I ever have a chance of gaining. Lets just say, there have been no dogs along the way, but a lot of beautiful ladies, with hearts of Gold.
My first thought is Money!!!!I have so much love already, since I already have had so much love I would take the money. Only because I have four kids, so if I could choose money now, then I would have both. Good question. Love as in romantic love, well I still think money.

I learned very early on that money doesn't make you happy. I grew up with money as my parents had two businesses. I had everything and as a family we had everything. Holidays abroad, cottage in the country etc etc but I hardly ever saw my parents when I was growing as they worked so hard.
Sitting in the middle of all that wealth all I wanted was to be able to spend more time with my mum and dad which I never got to do.
Having money is great but for me the only thing it does is it gives you more choices but as for choosing Love or money...
I think I remember from class that to fulfill someones need you must fulfill there basics for shelter, food, etc them the emotional stuff comes. but I would rather have love then money.
Well, I think I might be the only one here. What would I choose? I don't have to, I have enough to live off, which is what I would always want and to give myself a good standard of living. I have love and am happy.
Without sounding pompous, then I am afraid no matter how much I felt for a person, I would protect my assets and am not prepared to give them up to choose love. I want financial responsibility from a person as I deliver that, no matter what they earn. I come from a very owrking class family, my father had three jobs to put me through my education and I have had enough hands dwon lavatories to ensure that my children have a roof over their heads. That being said, I am no victim and have certainly had my picking up the sofa to check if any spare coins were hiding down there when my children were young and my ex husband was out of work.
And also, I don't choose love, I don't choose when to love a person, I either do or I don't.
So I cannot answer this, because there is no option for 'neither'
avecaim: balance, love can motivate us in good ways and loving yourself and family involves protecting them by providing what one can
I also should say that if I had to choose I'd rather starve of wordly things and have love if I really really think about it. Good thing it is possible for someone as privileged as myself not to have to go without either. I have the ability and skills to have abundance of all. high on it today

Life is way too difficult without money - and since love has always eluded me - will settle for money - at least i can pay for illusions afterall that is what i had with love LOL
Say you don't need no diamond rings and I'll be satisfied. Tell me that you want the kind of things that money just can't buy. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love!
However, I COULD love someone who had money...Money could buy us freedom. (BE) HEH! And a basket of Tonkinese kittens.
You can have all the money in the world but if you don't have someone you love to share it with. It just leaves you well taken care of but empty and lonely. If you have love in your life and no money. But at least your not alone and some one there to help you smile and maybe have a laugh. There is no emptiness. And instead of eing taken care of your cared for. I'll take the love over money any time.
