Which would you choose? You could have as much money as your heart desires or maybe find true love? (marry, single)

I don't know about that. My dad declared bankruptcy twice. My parents are about to hit 40 years....
You are referring to a time when people married because they were supposed to and kept the marriage because divorce would never be acceptable. People's personal wants were irrelevant not that long ago.
I don't really believe in true love per se, but I would pick being really good looking (like movie star of my choice) over all the money my heart desires.
I know that wasn't an option, but I'm choosing it.
With that, on top of the persona I've developed, I'm pretty sure I could have a kick ass life from here on out.

But it's not the 70s anymore, they've had plenty of time in this "modern era" to divorce and yet they're still together. They must be happy.
Perhaps they're proof that many people jump the gun on divorce. When you hit a rough patch, you can either bail or tough it out and work to make things better and end up happier and more in love than ever before.

The bankruptcies were in the last 15ish years........
Since the money is the only sure thing and the true love is only a "chance" of course I'd take the money. The "chance" will always exist and could possibly never be fulfilled in any case.
You know Baldrick your a cool dude but surely you know that most people aren't fortunate enough to die in a hospital bed or at home with family beside them anyway. Having a loving wife and family will not guarantee that you die a dignified death.
I chose money. Being successful in the career world takes hard work but at least it's simple. You know what you have to do to get where you want to go. Work hard and put in the extra time and be productive. But dating and love is just chaotic. And I tend to like order and structure in my life. Besides I've got my family so I'm good.
Good, i'm glad to hear that.
I have both and I stand a chance of... hmm... lets say 'leaving this mortal coil' in the not too distant future. I'm pretty sure you can guess what i'd be happiest to have had.
Also I was in the Infantry for 20yrs until recently and went to the usual places. How many men do you think were worried about leaving their bank balance rather than their families? What do you think they were looking forward to seeing again? Different situations engender people with different priorities and that's fair enough.. I have mine and they have theirs.
