This has to be one of the most depressing thread I have since on C-D since joining.

No it doesn't. All my money isn't going to buy me anymore time than I have left!

If I could have more time with those I love i'd give it all up, what bloody use is it going to be to me? "Money buys you time"? Like F*ck it does!

Dieing is dieing and dead is dead regardless of $10 or $10,000,000..

True love of course, how is this even tough to answer? The responses are so sad.

This is assuming you live a middle class lifestyle, not poverty or even close to it. True love implies no divorce and that you have a happy relationship, not perfect, but pretty damn good.

Money doesn't mean anything beyond a certain level of comfortable lifestyle. Numerous studies support this.

On a personal note, my parents have true love and so do several other married couples of all ages I know of. I'm jealous. I also know some people who are much wealthier than me, but I'm not jealous of them.

yes it does.

of course you're going to die, that's the nature of entropy.

While I'm alive if I'm sitting on a few stacks it buys me time, I know this from personal experience.

there are some types of love (family) that can never be replaced, on the flipside of things there's millions of people out there if you choose to have a relationship (dime a dozen).

you have to enjoy and live your life, nothings promised.

At the moment i'm alive and wealthy, soon I may well be dead and will have been wealthy.. How did my wealth buy me more time?

I chose money and I didn't have a hard time thinking it out at all.

Why settle for middle class when you have a chance when you have a chance to tell slavedriver CEOs where they can stick their paychecks for good since you won't ever need them?

Money. It buys a great lifestyle. At my age I would be quite happy to buy hot guys to have sex with and forget about love for a while.

Very true.

I don't think you would care much about love if you drive an a8 l stuffed full of beautiful women on the way to spa or something..

I chose money and it wasn't hard for me to answer either. True love is a nice dream if you can obtain it.
