would you rather be rich and alone or poor and with the love of you life and why?

Answer 1

currently, I am extremely poor and also very alone and have been that way for about 30 years so I feel that I can answer the question fairly. I would rather be rich and alone because money provides a type of power and freedom to pursue the life you want to live. For example,with money you can eat healthier and gain all the benefits of proper nutrition which will help your overall general mental, emotional, spiritual and physical dispositon and in turn make you a better potential partner. You can use your money to better yourself by becoming educated or doing the things you feel most connected to with out worrying about the car getting repoed or some other finacial stress. With money there is a freedom of time and choice that doesn't exist for the poor. The poor work very hard, trust me I know, to have the basics like a roof over their head, a little food on the table, transportation and very few other things. Maintaining a relationship requires a lot more than money, but having money makes it easier for the other things to be had. If the love of your life has a birthday and you can't afford to buy them what you want to and have to settle for something else, how does that make you feel? The story of the gift of the magi is charming and moving, but I don't want to live that way. The reoccuring theme of my post is that it is better to seek to be the right person than be with the right person and so I am seeking to be the right person and see having money as an asset and having a relationship without it is more of a liability. When you are the right person it is much more realistic that your partner will be the right person as well, and the same holds true if you're not the right person. I have thought about what how I could or would make a good husband and I have several ideas, but two important ideas (not the only ideas, but for the sake of this post) are protection and provision which require resources and are subcategories of security. Summing up, I am poor and alone. I would rather conquor the money problems first and then pursue the love of my life if such a thing exists.

Answer 2

Rich and alone. Being poor doesn't attract the right kind of people, and the only people who give you the time of day aren't the smartest and most stimulating on the planet. They suck your energy dry and help you remain where you are in a form of codependency.

It's important to know that the love of one's life comes from within, and indigence only provides a cycle of negativity. Some wealthy folks, on the other hand, are more heterogenous, have a greater span of interests, appreciation for the arts and sciences, and actually care about reading books. Do this as a poor person and you not only end up alone anyway, but you are often sanctioned by those around you, called "******" and the like. Sometimes you're even treated like a criminal. Not too many things to make life interesting if you're poor.

Answer 3

Well, I'd *rather* be rich and with the love of my life. But if you insist on a choice between the two, I'd rather be poor with the love of my life. There is nothing as good as a wonderful relationship, and don't let anybody ever tell you different. Once you have that, *then* you can lust after riches, and you'll have a really good chance to enjoy them.

Answer 4

I rather be with love because imagine it a life all alone empty inside where it all started. Yourself. Because I don't need to pick rich or poor...I'll become it if its necessary. Money you can gain over time but the love of your life is once in a life...Once that mistake is made its over...no backs..


I rather have love then live as a dead corpse in the inside.

Answer 5

I would rather be with the love of my life, and rich. This is the United States of America. I've never been one for accepting handouts of free money. The beautiful thing about this country is that you are not damned to spending your whole life poor just because you start out like that. You financial situation is determined by the amount of drive and ambition that you have, not by whether or not you chose "love" over "money".

This is not even a feasible scenario in today's free enterprise economies. If you are a MAN, and you are with the "Love of your Life" does that give you an excuse to be a lazy *** laborer working to line someone else's pocket for the rest of thier days? Does that give you an excuse to completely neglect getting an education so tht you can have a higher paying career? As a "Man" with the "love of your life" as your partner, shouldn't you desire to push yourself to aspirations that will give you both of these things in life?

By the way, this option will never present itself to anyone except gold digger women. Rightfully so, because in this scenario that man you choose as your life partner chose the same thing that you did. He chose to be rich and buy his woman. At this point, you are property, and your marraige is a joke, and insult to god or whatever other divinity you beleive you answer to in the afterlife.

Answer 6

I rather be rich and alone. The fact that a person is poor and with the love of their life does not imply that they are happy.
I would say both circumstances are miserable. If I`m rich and alone I won`t have anybody to share my riches with therefore I would be miserable. If I was poor and with the love of my life we would be together however we would both be miserable.
I think it is selfish to want to share your misery for the sake of company. Misery loves company...... No thanks I would rather be miserable all by my lonesome.

Answer 7

I'm rich and alone but I'm contended because I've my close friends. I've met a man whom I like very much but he is poor, not that I mind. But no matter how much I try he always feel he loves me but he could not depend on me to help him. Lots of problems like he don't agree with how I spent my money etc etc. In the end as much as I think I love him, I still prefer to be rich and alone because I've gone thru the experience but thank god for close friends.

Answer 8

I have never been rich, but I have been alone. I can't imagine having money would fill the empty void of loneliness that can fill your soul.

But being with the one you love can make you feel like everything else just isn't important. You may not have the money to go out and do all the things you would like to do. When you are with the one you love you can find ways to be happy with what you have and what you can do.

Answer 9

rich poor love life

Answer 10

The question isn't valid. If you are rich you need not be alone regardless of your age or appearance. Leaving out the premise of being alone - I would rather be rich. I was with the love of my life - for awhile - she ran off with a different love of her life and it almost killed me.
