1. Married to the love of your life with an average life.
You and your husband have average pay. You don't have any debt, but buying expensive things is something you have to save up for. However, you are married to a man/woman that you know is 'the one' for you. they are perfect for you, and if you wake up everyday knowing that.
2. a wonderful career with excellent pay, but no spouse.
you are very dedicated to your career and enjoy working. you don't do it for the money, but the pay is excellent, and you could basically have everything you want. you are so dedicated to your career that you don't have time for a boyfriend/girlfriend. you have family around you that keep you company, but you come home everyday to an empty home.
which would you rather have? and why?

I have been widowed for about 20 years now and I can tell you that a career , even the best is no substitute for a loving relationship.
That person who can walk with you, laugh with you, share your ups and your downs and never miss a beat in between. Knows what your thinking and no words pass your lips to ruin the beauty of the moment, no untold lies, no pride. Just the sentiment of two loving hearts beating in rhythm naturally one with the other.
There is no amount of money that can replace that. No high mark on the career pole, no expansive gift you buy yourself, no ..... Nata ........ nothing.
The emptiness of one, the fullness of two that out bet, outweigh all of the odds can never be replaced by a one of a kind gift.
Because the only one of a kind gift that truly matters is the two hearts that beat for each other.

Wow this is challenging, Because I am pretty much working on # 2 but I would love to have # 1. I don't think that I can truly be happy with being average if i am working a job I hate getting average pay. So there for if i am not happy with what i do how can i make someone else happy if i always complain about my job. I think that once you find your career and are happy with your work you will be able to find the time to find that someone else even if they are not on the same level as you are it will still manage to work. So I guess I will have to go with my happiness first then fill in the blanks later...

I would choose the first one. Having money is not everything. Just look at famous people. They think that having more money will just make them happier. But where does that ever end up? You can always work harder to get more money, but there is no joy in that. I remember hearing a statistic when watching Dateline awhile ago. It said that once you make $30,000 a year, what you make beyond that will not make you ‘happier’. They have proven that less than $30,000 making more money deos increace the ‘value of their life’, but beyond that it was meaningless. I would much rather find the perfect spouse and live in happiness forever than be in a money rush craze my entire life.

For no regrets...
During the first half of my life, I'd choose #2.
During the second half, #1.
If it has to be one or the other forever, my choice would depend almost totally on how much I enjoyed my job under option #1 versus how close to my family I was under option #2....people spend way too much time at work to not love what they're doing and have way too much discretionary time to not have somebody to share their non-working life with.

Door # 1. Love is more important, and I don't mind waiting for things. I'd much rather be loved and feel my husband loves me for who I am, and has unconditional love for me, and that I can trust him 100% than to have what I want. Money can't buy happiness, or love. Happiness comes from within. I want to be loved! Point me to door number one pleeese!

Two and a half years ago I was reunited with the love of my life, it's one of those " We ought to be on Oprah" stories. I would live in a tent with him (almost had to cuz we went through Katrina together) and be happy for the rest of my life!!!!!
