Why are us humans denied true love during our life time? Is it us? Or is it some cosmic force that seems to have a cruel heart? Or is it the way material society is set up? Things change...families that in one century were the top of the heap- then next generation there is a decline.. Are we afraid of true love- or do we think we do not deserve it? Do we lie to ourselves...and have others lie to us? Are we victims of deception...is the world really that dishonest...Or is it that the wealthy and powerful dark forces of the world...KNOW they will never have true love and set up a sublime system that blocks us from having real wealth? It's just weird and odd..there is someone for everyone- why can't we be with that someone...If there is a God- is he a bit of a prick?
So are the chances for having as much money as your heart desires (for many, this would be an infinite supply)... for a lifetime, though
Wrong because everyone's desire for money is different. Some people wouldn't desire the entire planet in cash or have what they desire already. Money is more likely.

And some people already have true love, so what?
Enough to never have to work again, plus buy whatever you wish and take trips to other countries whenever you feel like it? For life!? That's the way the OP defined it. And of course it's unrealistic. And if not, why are you giving up something like true love for it in the first place? You'd trade an average financial life and awesome love life for an average life in both regards?
Money doesn't always fuel people's lifestyles it depends on what you consider is your choice life style. Right now somewhere in the world are two people, back packing on a budget who are falling in love because of chemistry not because of money, who are experiencing each other and the world around them because of the simplest things like a drink on the beach yet at the same time one of the hardest things to find real love that no amount of money can buy.
Good for them, I don't like backpacking. So, what is your point? I rather focus on the tangible and not live life by how I feel. How about you try to pay your next bill with love and see where that gets you. I can do what I want or go where I want. Why? I have the money to do it. I worked my tail off and getting my priorities in order.

So you can afford the latest iphone well cool, or maybe you got it by racking up your credit card and now must work work work to pay it off. Now what? Got anybody to call that really loves you or you love them?
I didn't get the iPhone but I got the new Samsung Galaxy and I paid cash for it. I do have someone to call who I loved but that's irrelevant as it didn't factor in my decision. It's a fantastic piece of technology and I wanted it. It's still just as worth it to me even if I didn't have some kind of love in my life.

Not saying money doesn't matter but it shouldn't rule everything. Somewhere in the world right now is a filthy rich guy who it is his birthday today and no one thought to call him or express genuine feelings to say happy birthday. He may get a call tomorrow though from one of his dime a dozen women though because she needs a loan.
Boo hoo, like he really should be sad. I never got one happy birthday on a past birthday. I didn't care though because I care very little about most people's opinion of me. I put no value in birthdays anyway. My birthday means I'm one year closer to death.

Somewhere in the world actually many in the world there is a guy who worked hard, pays his bills who just got a notice that he is laid off or down sized because someone above him is concerned with fueling their lifestyle. Somewhere in the world is a guy who works hard and pays his bills and was just told he has 6 months to live and he is thinking now about all the things he hasn't done because he was so worried about working hard to pay bills for all those material things and how all those bills and things mean nothing now.
Yep and I possibly fired him. Considering that I fired someone a couple of weeks ago to save money in our branch's pocket. The world is unforgiving as it should be. He should have been prepared. If I had 6 months to live then that's fine considering I lived life to the fullest while packing my pockets. I would have no sympathy. Life is full of disappointments. Those bills means nothing? You're off you're head. I bet you don't have the guts to tell your electric company that and live with no electricity.

The title clearly states "as your heart desires". That in itself is undefined and can't be defined as you can't dictate how much money one desires. So, the fact you are trying to spin it off something that's incorrect in nature makes your point incorrect.

I have no interest in backpacking or anything like that. I'm a natural loner who would like to make enough money to be completely self-sufficient

You act as if single people don't have any friends to hang out with or family lol.. Besides iphones can do more than just call people.

With enough experience, he knows how to handle that situation

Really, how do you know what's going through people's minds?, maybe he's accepted his death with dignity.
Perhaps I am just an old sentimentalist, but as far as making a decision, this was one of the easiest polls I have ever taken. Hands down, far and away, the choice is love.

So what are we assuming it means for some? Give me a dollar amount. Maybe we could say, "It's like winning the lottery once?" Of course it would have to be enough to at least mean the person would never have to work again (which was specified in the OP). This is no more realistic than the prospect of finding true love!

I know this is very difficult for people to accept it but after you die, whatever you did, felt or thought won't have mattered for a second. We're not as important as we think we are.
