Most definitely LOVE. My ex husband was very wealthy but incapable of genuine love, something I unfortunately didn't realise until it was too late. In my eyes he is in reality a sad, poor man. Many years later I share my life with the most loving of men - we have very little money, a lovely cozy home and we feel very, very rich indeed!
I'm interested in Temptress' reply ( as a man whose alternately had sweet F all and has been very successful as well). Does your husband REALLY know how you feel? Is he happy to settle for that? I'm only asking because to me, what you have said is the height of NOT being in love, yet you appear to feel you have both love and money, or am I misunderstanding?
If you've got money, you can always find someone to love you. But really I think love is the more important but a bit of money to go with it helps because a lack of money can put a strain on the love, but love makes all things possible
I can't comment on the money part....I've never had any lol!
So the answer must be love, to give love and to be loved.
Billy Conolly (one of the great modern day philosophers (spelling?) I feel) once said 'you're never lonely if you know someone, somewhere in the world loves you' never a truer word.
sorry noxy just picked this up...basically im a confused person who is spoiled....i have the great love of a rich man and deep down, through personal tragedies, i decided long ago not to love someone too much in case i lost them. after a long time i have realised how much i love him whereas before i kept my feelings apart. still confused but hope i have answered?
