Well my family and parents are millionaires. Though I am higly resticted on going and buying stuff on my own which sucks alot. Have a girlfriend that had to move 80 miles away. Sigh

True love.

 

It's a total Rarity (pun not intended until I realized I was gonna use that word ) 

 

But seriously, there's nothing as rare as true love. If you can find it once in a lifetime, you should be grateful to have found it, even if you let it slip.

 

Because it isn't even a once in a lifetime thing.

You know... as cliche as this sounds, I'm going with true love and poverty over being completely alone, but rich.

 

I'm a fairly miserly person, but I don't think money can lead me to happiness. It's a luxury that allows me to obtain material goods and services. These goods can bring temporary joy, but I don't think I own anything that makes me happy to live every single day of my life. What were once luxuries typically become routine objects.

 

Being with a true loving wife on the other hand in a "Disney" level of relationship? I wouldn't pass that up.

I can work my way up to riches. In fact, I have every intention of doing so. It will be hard, yes, but manageable.

 

By contrast, true love is something that no amount of investment can bring. It is something that can only bloom under the right circumstances, and with perfect care. It is much more work, but the reward is much greater. It's something I've seen, but never had. I am envious, I'll admit. But I'm hopeful that one day, I'll find it. And I will be happy. 

[Mutemutt 772]

Hmm, tough choice. I kind of want to say true love, not for the true love but for the not being alone. Sure, I may not have a ton of friends, but I treasure my close ones; true love is just icing on the cake.

 

But in the end, I'll go with being rich. I don't think being in love is completely necessary to live a happy, fulfilling life (but it certainly helps). I'll take the money buy everything I want, give to charities that move me and buy a couple dogs to fill that void in my heart. Oh and lurk forums like this to make up for my lack of social interaction: business as usual .

Rich is the best. It allows you to buy love (while ignoring The Beatles)

[Flying Pencil 3,023]

True love is more important to me than money.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

If you asked me a year ago I'd have said "true love" without a moment of hesitation, but the longer I'm single, the more I get used to being alone, and the more I realize I wouldn't be able to make someone happy in a relationship. As much as I would absolutely love to be in one, I suck at them, so I'd probably pick being rich.

Since it was already stipulated that to take the ‘rich’ option here I’d have to be miserable, I’d obviously avoid that. The whole point of money is to not be miserable. They say money can’t buy happiness but we all know that’s not really true. I mean, you can’t go to a store and buy a literal box of Happiness and take it home, but money can buy freedom, opportunity, health and many things that ultimately can lead to happiness.  But, in the spirit of the question as it was posed in the opening post, I would take love, which is rare, beautiful and miraculous when it’s real. It can transform everything and elevate life above and beyond mere money.

True love. I honestly don't really care about being rich. As long as I have enough to get by, I'll be happy.

I mean here I am climbing my way in making money and really got no time to be socializing or looking for a soulmate..

[Lord Chin Chin 1,201]

True love, I Would never leave my BF for money ❤️

[Phosphor 11,522]

True love or money?
Given the current state of "love"/marriage, give me the money! Don't even have to think about it!

[Savygriffs 5,022]

True love for sure. <3

And if I happen to become rich with said person, then that's cool too hahaha

 

I just want to be happy with a person, rather than be loaded with money. As long as we got plenty of money to live off of, then I'm fine. :3

[EpicEnergy 22,105]

I personally think that comparing the two with each other is illogical as true love is priceless while being rich is measurable through prices.

To answer the question directly instead of implicitly, I prefer true love over being rich.

[Magic Note 2,738]

True love by far. Being rich isn't exactly that good because you'll eventually become hated for being rich.

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

Neither of those things are guaranteed to bring happiness.

[Steve Piranha 28,788]

Per$onaly, I $ee more perk$ with ca$h rather than true love 

[honk friend 1,972]

i already have one and resent those who have the other so i'm good with true love

[Meson Bolt 2,647]

Honestly, I wouldn't want either. I'd want to be able to support my S/O financially and I don't think I'd be comfortable dating someone if I was struggling that bad.

On the other hand, being rich makes everyone around you really fake, because they're only around you for the money.

No thanks.
