If I was rich and I could buy anything I wanted at any time, I think I would value these things less.

I personally have to work hard for the things I get and when I finally get them I feel accomplished and I treasure them.
You're like a bad penny =)

Me too. More so in life than a relationship though, but maybe because I'm inexperienced in regards to relationships...although I have seen how it can affect a relationship.

I'm driven by money. It gives me the lifestyle I've always wanted. But I want the most passionate love. Impossible to have both?

Money is more important when you don't have it.

Remember these wise words people...
Cough cough

"It is not money that is the root of all evil but the love of money that is the root of all evil"

Thank you. Thank you. No applause.

Money definitely puts strain on people and their relationships. And if money the main cause for the relationship to break up, then I'd question the moral and ethic of the people in that relationship. They've definitely put too much emphasis on money making them and their relationship happy. And probably got materialistic too. And maybe even lived beyond their means?

Thank you very much. I knew someone'd take my words and paint me as shallow and materialistic, but I'm just a realist, plain and simple. Songs like 'Price Tag' piss me off because it's such bull - trying telling someone who can't afford a decent lifestyle that 'we don't need your money'. Say you get into a relationship with someone, you're wanting to go out on dates, you're wanting to spend time with them, and they have no money. What are you going to do then, sex 24/7? Then again... :lol:

So yeah, as someone said, greed isn't healthy but stability and happiness comes with a price, like it or not.

I just want to marry some loaded old Lady, give her what she wants - then she can rest in piece and I'll take care of her money on Ibiza.

Unfortunately it takes money to have freedom nowadays, and that takes the free out of freedom.
Pretty much this. Also people say you don't need money to make you happy, but to be happy in yourself, you obviously need money... haircuts, nice outfits, aftershave.. :lol:

Do you happen to have a hot female friend with the same frame of mind? :D

I am a banker so, of course I love money. There are few things more enjoyable than driving around town in a nice convertible car, sipping champagne in a nice club in Chelsea with some wannabe models or watching a football game from a corporate box.
But then, money does not matter and you can have a life just as fulfilling watching re-runs of Big Brother and listening to GaGa's album over and over again, naturally

Dead wrong when you use the word everything! Then why do so many superstars turn to drugs another ish if money can buy them everything they desire!!!
Listen to the song by Biggie "Mo Money Mo Problems" :wink:

Problem is... Most people cannot and don't know how to handle money and the baggage (fake new friends, long lost family, etc) that it comes with!!!

Appreciate money,bot take it for granted, but also don't treat it like God!! :lol:

Yeah I agree, and I've had problems in the past where lack of money has caused a bit of friction in a relationship because the other person likes living rather lavishly :lol:
