My first husband was well off but it didn't make me happy becausse i didn't love him anymore. I am now with a man who had nothing, as did i, when we met and am so much happier. When i left my first husband, some one commented that i must be mad to leave him because of his money. I found that remark very shallow and i would challenge anyone to prefer money over love. You can't take money with you but your life will be happy if it is filled with love. A nice pair of Gucci shoes won't be there for you when in need!

Money!!!I cannot imagine life in a small house on a little street.I just can't.My life would not be worth living if I was poor.I don't believe money buys happiness but life withoput money is just not worth it.That said if someone said that if I stayed with my girlfriend I would be poor.I would stay with her.So once again I come to no conclusion at all!!!

[redcrx]

Love. What i get from my son and my partner could never be bought.

[fee-is-me]

I'm with SR on this (god, did i really just say that?)

Couldn't decide. Couldn't be without money. But couldn't be without the love of certain people either.

And i would HATE to not give love. Does that count too...?

[sexyrussian]

Yes you know there are alot of AB ers agreeing with me today.I don't think you need sexual love but you do need love like that you get from family.I must say the English language is very bad all other languages have a different word for different types of love.Oh well I would choose money.Have never been poor and could never live as a poor person.I could live as a rich person without love of any kind.

Well everyone needs money, but if we are talking about choosing a 'rich' lifestyle (and we all know what SR considers as rich) then I would choose love.

Like the unrulie one has said, I too had a very wealthy husband. After we split I got together with hubby no.2 who was being taken to the cleaners by his ex.

In the beginning of our relationship we didn't have a pot to wee in..even now we go through bad financial patches but we can still eat, clothe ourselves & don't need any outside entertainment because we love each others company...when I was with my ex I spent loads of money on holidays & evenings out because I couldn't be alone with him!

[Blyss]

id take the money anyday.

Love ! My reason is that I fell in love with a man many moons ago when he didnt have any money. Then he got rich and became a different person so we split up. Be careful what you wish for- it can have a dangerous knock on effect on everything around you. Money doesnt make you happy it just makes you miserable in comfort x

[beejaybee]

I`d rather live in a bedsit & be happy with someone than a huge mansion & be miserable. Does that answer you??

[doglady]

Money. As you say,. you can then buy love!! And you can still have friends if you don't have a special someone.

[Pippa68]

Wise words, spk!

My nan used to say 'if you have never been poor you have never lived'.

However the OP isn't really clear about whether we are talking about a huge amount of money (eg Millionaire status) or just enough to get by..and as I have said previously, people have different opinions as to what 'poor' means.

I certainly wouldn't consider poor to mean living in a little house in a little street...but that's just me!

[4getmenot]

Love. And what about my love redcrx?

[redcrx]

lol 4getmenot. people will put 2 and together there and come up with 5. Your love is worth loads too x

[4getmenot]

Yer right back at ya :-)

[Champagne]

Love. Why? Because I'm a love junkie!

[PinkFizz]

Love definitely.Money cant but true love can it.
I'd rather be happy and poor thean rich but miserable and lonely.

Hi sam,

I could have had a lot of money years ago,cos I was a bit of a naughty boy,but I met my wife and changed,the lads I was with are very rich, in the nick or dead

But,
I am a very wealthy man not maybe in a monetary sense but in the love I have around me, My wife is a diamond my two sons are great lads (men) we have struggled in the past, and I can now afford whatever we want,within reason, I mean like a nice holiday and a meal out when we want,

when my wife had cancer,life was put into perspective for me,then my son was badly injured at work, and you realise that love is what counts not money, peace of mind is priceless, take care sam, Ray
