Money definitely. I could probably still get "love" anyway but an opportunity to make sure I and/or my mother never has to worry about making another car or rent/mortgage payment again would be too good to pass up.

I can always make money, so I'd choose love because I've seen the power of true love in my life and I'd hate to be without it.

You choose..
Absolutely Darling, that is why you are one of the Good Guys and your Wife is lucky to have you ( as you are to have Her of course !). Some people obviously do not get the appeal of Loving someone and being Loved back.

Nobody wants to be poor, it would disingenuous to say so but this obsession with riches I truly find disturbing and if I am truly honest really quite repugnant.

If I choose money, Why wouldn't I have "someone to spend my last days with"? That's an idea something people have been running out there for decades In regards to marriage also to scare people

No-one said you wouldn't did they? I didn't realise another option had been put up... Just checked, nope, no other option that i'd missed..

Who mentioned marriage? The question was "true love" wasn't it?

It may seem repugnant to some but if you like me have ever:

- Lived or spend major time in a neighborhood ripped apart by poverty and its ill effects.
- Worried about having something to eat for dinner.
- Had to beg and borrow money to travel to see a parent in their last days.
- Been put back majorly by an unplanned car repair.
- Been trapped in a job you hate with a passion.
- Seen a loved one struggle through money troubles that were no fault of their own.

Then you would understand why some would choose unlimited money.

I'll take money because nowadays it's much more important to have money if you want to live a good life.

And I don't think there is a such thing as 'true love' anyway.

Oookay? Well that must mean I also have the chance that someone will come along and rob me of all my money. So I still choose the true love thing, because if she's the most compatible person for me and we still split, it means there is no one for me. At least I'd know so I could put it completely out of my mind from then on.

I know the first thing I'd do if I was single and rich would be to look for that special someone anyway. Even if I had lots of women along the way, it'd still be the same journey, just with different checkpoints along the way.
