I have no need to think deep. I'm retired, I planned well for my retirement. I'm not rich but I have sufficient funds to live the same or better lifestyle as when I was working, and I have 7 days a week time off to enjoy my life.
The question is worded so that if you choose the true love option, you will live an average lifestyle. Your current finances should not be taken into account. If you choose love, you're also choosing an average lifestyle.
Also, the question isn't worded in a way where you can't ever find true love if you choose the money.
I’m making more money than I know what to do with this year. And no, it’s not millions or even hundreds of thousands! It’s coming in handy this year to pay for the wedding, two week honeymoon on Oahu and hopefully paying off what’s left on a car payment. I’ll also be giving my grandma about $10k-$12k of it to help her financially, which is something I’ve always wanted to do. If I make another $20k than I’m already supposed to make, I might give her more than that and pay a few bills for her myself so she can avoid the BS gift tax (come and get me IRS!). So money doesn’t matter that much to me.
And I don’t have to work that crappy, decaying job anymore, anyway. As long as I have enough money to support myself without having to work that again, I don’t really care.

I guess I'm too tired and should go to bed. This forum section is just so entertaining it's hard to pull the plug.
I live an above average lifestyle, I'm retired and I don't have to work. (But I do work.) I want whatever choice I pick to keep my lifestyle and take my chances on finding true love.
Oh, that's funny. I already have that. And I just started looking for love in the right places.
Kids and future comes first in my priority. After that.... I live a modest lifestyle and have never had trouble finding someone. With money comes less resting on my shoulders and more time to focus on other things... including finding love.
The poll says a CHANCE at true love while the money is guaranteed. This means the woman could turn tail and bounce at any time. The money is guaranteed and you may still accidentally stumble upon love.
This part right here is important, and applies to the other half of a pairing as well. This is the part that many people forget in a relationship and then are left scratching their heads when the relationship peters out.
Being with someone is a choice. 'I choose to commit myself to you over all others.' That commitment is based on both parties being drawn to one another, and so it is important that each person in a relationship feels that pull. Sometimes a person will feel like, well, now that we're in this thing together, I can stretch out my legs and take five. And then they keep doing that, and after a while the distance builds and before you know it it's over.
Yes, it's a choice - just as it should be. There are no permanencies in love. To have love in life one has to be lovable to their partner. It seems so simple - pity that in reality it's actually a lot more complex. Which is why so many struggle and even fail at ever finding this elusive 'love.'

That was really good, and eye-opening. I think it explains the struggles we have all felt at times in finding the right relationship or person. It's not the other person/variable, we have to look at ourselves!
I was thinking how it seems I'm not really necessary around here (my situation). My SO has become so set in his ways and used to being single that he planned his whole day out, and none of it seemed to involve me. So some would say: Good! Make the most of it, do your own thing. I've been single just as long-- if not way longer, but I felt like if I have a SO, that should be a different lifestyle. I was doing my own thing on my own...so...lots of thinking to do.
It has nothing to do with money.
