    Yeah it seems really cruel to pick money, but in this case scenario I did.
    If I were to love a commoner, I am fine with it.
    But someone homeless...I dunno. It doesn't seem likely.

    As long as I'm still with her I'd live anywhere, be it a mansion or a trash dumpster :D

    I'd marry for love.

    You can't buy Love with Money, and money can be done with efforts.

    I think I'm in the middle...I wouldn't exactly marry someone that's homeless..no job..etc. But If I wouldn't marry a millionare that throws cash at me and leaves not to be seen again until morning? Na.

    Hmm I just got out of a year relationship with a millionaire and it taught me this lesson love is far more important than money. I didn't date him for his money I dated him because I loved him with all my heart and I used to wish all the time that he had no money because money overcomplicates everything. Love is the best feeling in the world and I'd rather have love than money and this is coming from a self professed vain and materialistic person. To find someone you want to be with when your both broke when you both have nothing other than each other it's worth more than any amount of money. When I first met this ex he was really depressed because he was rich and inherited it so he didn't need to achieve anything in life. Money isn't all it's cracked up to be in my mind you need to earn it for yourself or it will just make you insane.

    Love. Eventually hes gonna realize you just married/dated him for his money and dump you anyway. Thats my thought anyway.

    I'd marry for love, because if you marry someone who's rich, they could say all that crap about how they love you so much, then they start beating you in the next couple of days or weeks. My family is already poor, we're only make about 700 a week.

    I would only ever marry someone if I was truly in love with that women. Though I don't see anything wrong with myself finding a Cougar (Middle Aged Women, that likes younger men), and dating for a while for fun, I don't think I would fall in love with her, but she being older then my would be much better off financially then I am.
    So to sum it up, Marriage I must be in love with her. Dating/ Playing the field, either are fine since you never know you might just end falling for them in the end, without you ever having the intent to begin with.

    LOVE. It feels to good to pass up for money. Obviously it feels great to get paid, but it just feels so much better to cuddle with someone that you love. I almost feel like most people saying money are ignorant to a certain degree...because money can truly only go so far. As rich as you may become, I think there will always become a point where there is something missing, and it will be something you cant spend money to seek out.

    Myself & the one I love would find ourselves making each other people, as we do :), and would work to make our lives better together and while we may never be rich I know I'd rather spend my time with someone I love being honest than having all the brand names I've ever wanted in my closet.

    Since I don't really believe that a piece of paper is something that proves that you love someone (yes, I realise that I'm opening a whole new can of worms with this), I don't believe in marriage, to be perfectly honest.
    Yes, it's a tradition. But it's also a corrupt and sexist tradition that leads to more problems that it's worth. With the divorce rate at whatever it currently is in our modern society, I'm not so sure that "tradition" is quite enough to cut it for me.
    That being said, I would totally marry for money. Would I stay married? Not likely. Call me a gold digger; I probably am. But since I haven't actually done it yet, reserve judgement for a little while.
    But yep. That's what I have to say on the subject. Marry for money, hands down, and make CERTAIN that no kids are brought into a loveless marriage.


    Though - while I'm on the subject - I did seriously consider marrying someone local just to get cheaper tuition.... :D hahaha

    i would definitlely marry for love. money can be made later bud if i ve alreadie met the love of mi life now, why would i choose to marry sumone else who's rich? cant imagine miself marrying for money and living w sumone who i dun love. it wld be the quickest way to drive miself mad... staying under the same roof and slping together with sumone i dun love. but speaking of which i would choose to marry sumone w the same background as me..in terms of family, education background.. meaning he's gotta be educated and cannot be living in a dumpster.

    If you marry someone for money, chances are you'll break up eventually, because you'll both be unhappy with your relationship.

    I don't think I'd fall for someone with no money. I fall for intelligent people, people I can relate to and have good conversations with. I wouldn't fall in love with someone with no education or prospects so I guess I don't have to worry about it. =p
