Yea, family, chicks, and alcohol; but that's about it.

What a cynical jaded view of the world and what a lot of piffles. If true love depended on money I would have never crossed my Father, displeased him so much he disowned me and I would have married the guy he expected me to. And would now be living a life of idle wealth , unhappy and disenchanted. But heck the baubles and shiny things would be so worth it.... NOT.

I fell in love with Hubby despite his lack of money and if he lost his job tomorrow I would still love him. How dare you imply that everyone is as venal as some of you seem to be.
When money runs out, divorce is a certainty. Reality proves it.

Now before you rush to the true love option I want you all to bare in mind what having all the money your heart desires means.

Think about it. Condos, super cars, never have to work again if you so choose, explore the world, or you can basically do nearly anything you desire.

Maybe you want to own several estates across the nation or overseas. Maybe take 5 star cruise ships or own a private jet.

Also you still have the chance that your true love relationship may still fail...

Would you still choose the opportunity to find true love or fulfill all your desires that money can buy.

Think deep.

Oh yeah I threw in a poll to make it more interesting.
I will always choose true love because there is nothing like being loved by someone or having to share your time with that person and know that it is appreciated. I would be miserable with all the money my heart desires and no one to share my materials and wealth with. As much as people fight to protect their money I have yet to find a wealthy person who doesn't want to be loved or doesn't seek the companion of a signifcant other

Umm... what? "Reality proves it?" That's a new one! I guess you never have to use things like "facts" or "real life examples" when you've got "reality!"

I have and his opinion was this. "Why do people feel the need to share their wealth? I made the money so I will enjoy it. I'm not about to go ask somebody. "Hi, I've made plenty of money. Do you want some of it?" I'm not going to look for anybody to share. Happiness comes from within. You need to be happy with yourself first and foremost. I just don't understand why the fact you made the money on your own. You can't enjoy it without someone else enjoying with you. That is beyond me."

Money. I've always wanted to travel the world and getting that opportunity would be too good to pass up. The world is an incredible place with so much to see. And I could still find love along the way and if I didn't, I would still have my family and friends to share everything with.

Aww that's so sweet.
