I have fond memories of poor and in love. But I have always liked my space. I dont know which is better, because if i was truly in love, wouldnt i still be there:-\

This is probably a bad question.

A rich person is probably never truly miserable nor alone. A rich person may not have the love of a human companion, but they will at least love and feel companionship in what got them from not being rich to being rich.

Whether it was their work, their inheritance, their investments, the lottery, luck of the draw, poker, hobbies, or whatever else helped them to achieve the circumstance in which they believe themselves to be rich is the companionship they feel.

The misery people will assert that so called lonely man is suffering because he doesn't always have a woman on his arm is more likely an opinion based on the psychological and emotional attachments of the person and their relationships who is forming the opinion than an actual ailment of the rich person. His or her life might be filled with the joy of philanthropy or simply feeding his horses and riding his horses every day imagining his childhood rides on a similar beast.....there are so many different possiblities and options it is hard to guess what makes a person rich with their own happiness. Some people are happy and feel rich BECAUSE of their not being involved in a relationship and consider that their badge of courage as they live in their world supported by their version of success.

Let's face facts here ! If you're rich, and hot, you won't be 'alone' unless you want to be !

im poor and in love right now. and though we dont have shit, were still together, pushing towards our goals despite our situation. id rather have genuine love and my best friend by my side than be in a big ass house, with someone i couldnt stand to share all the shit with, and arguing all the time, or him fucking someone else cuz he couldnt stand me too.

It depends why you're in the situation, doesn't it?

For example, if my fiance lost his job and we had to downgrade our lifestyle significantly than I would not leave him because I value our love

However, if he perpetually remained in a situation where he wasn't bettering himself - the poverty really a sign of a character trait rather than just a circumstance - than it would be time to go

Ya depends how poor we are talking here. I struggle enough being middle class...don't think I could actually handle poor poor... hope I never have to find out. Love is amazing but at the end of the day it doesn't consume your every waking moment the way poverty would. So sadly.. I pick rich and alone... because I think you could pay enough people to be your friends and just never admit it to yourself.

Poor and in Love, but when the mood strikes me, to pull out a few $$$thousand$$$ and go on shopping sprees. ;D

(if that is cheating, is it also cheating to choose Rich and Alone but with companionship when we are in the mood?)

rich and alone...fortunately...money DOES buy love. beside’s I don’t need someone to love me to feel happy. All I need is ME and to love me-the fact that I have all I want is just a perk.

I have my dream car, a driver, a beach house…and all the money in the world to do anything I want, and fill my time with anything I want.what else do I really need? I can, if need be, find ways to pretend that I‘m not alone for as long as humanly possible…Besides I can always buy company, friends and sex. it's a given.

being alone is the human condition. Why fight it. Funny that I say this because I am and have always been a fool for love. by a fool for love, i mean a fool for the LOVE of life...true LOVE can be anything, and do just as well and at times better than a man. so in short...I will be rich,alone and in love.

I've done both- been dirt poor sleeping on a broken air mattress with my ex husband when I was 19 and being stupidly well off when we divorced at 24. Like not infinite money, but well over $200k a year.

They both have their perks.

As long as were talking poor, but able to pay your bills, just with no extras...then I pick poor and in love. It's all just stuff in the end and happiness is what we all really want, which is more about how we feel. People and experiences, not possessions are more likely to help us be happy.

If were talking poor, like unable to buy food or pay bills, then my answer would be different...because money issues like that make couple quickly fall out of love anyway.

After my divorce I was poor and alone now I can buy all the love I want; show me the money.

It's tough b/c I've been poor and in love and it was the happiest I've ever been. I was also young and naive so maybe that had something to do with it.
I am now not rich, but comfortable, and alone.. It's definitely harder emotionally but realistically, with money you can buy comfort and hopefully love will come around.. Being poor is hard, and life can be miserable..
But, if you have love that is the most important thing..
Some of the poorest people are the happiest and some of the richest people are the unhappiest. So I want love...
But I want comfort too... Damn.

Poor and in love. Finding true love in life is a rare thing, and difficult for many. I've found someone who makes me beyond happy, and I won't give that up for anything. Making money is easy for me, so I'll just keep my honey and make myself rich all over again.

Besides, what if the guy you're 'in love' with is capable of making a pretty penny himself? Wouldn't that mean as soon as you enter a committed relationship you're both in love and rich anyway?

I don't like this question, because I'm horrible with ultimatums. I'm one of those 'have my cake and eat it too' people. I'm too driven not to have it all....

If I had to pick just those two, and not play with any factors as well. Im going with poor and in love. I rather be with someone who loves me and I love them, then I guess money and those extra toys wouldnt be bothered. While being rich and alone, I dont know. Sure people say money buys you hapiness and someone. Well I knew a girl, she was 26, she moved to Canada by herself, but her parents bought her everything; a house, 3 cars,a boat, a plaza, proprties, a cottage, and even a salon to keep her busy when she was bored. The girl didnt work, she didnt have to. She tried looking for someone, but she was just.. in a sense "I dont know how to do this - dishes, cleaning, etc" But she was good to talk with. Anyway, she got everything she wanted. After internet dating of many different guys - She found a guy on the internet that actually stayed with her longer than a month. She bought him all the gifts he wanted, a car too. He moved in. They got married, she had a kid. But really, this guy didnt have a job, and he wanted a citizenship. She doesnt even let him out of the house now... so in the end shes really alone.

Poor and in love. I know how to make money so that isn't really an issue. My husband and I were both dirt poor when we met and we built ourselves up together. It's not that hard if you're willing to work.

It seems like it's harder to date when you have some money because of all the users out there. I'm glad I don't have to deal with that.

Right now I'd take poor and alone. I'm living with 5 guys who are letting me stay for free because I have no money. I hate having roommates, especially roommates that make you feel like you owe them something.

Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!

Not only is it hard to find a guy that won't use you but these days it's even hard to find girlfriends that won't view you as a Human ATM.

... At least that's my problem.

Poor and in love for me too.

What's the point of having money and being able to buy things and not have anyone to share it with?
At least if I'm poor and in love, I can share my hardships and they won't seem that bad because we're going through it together.

My parents are definitely poor and in love, but they make the most of it.
My husband and I have been poor and in love. I think it makes us that much stronger today and appreciate everything we have now even more. :)

Riches may not make you happy but, being rich does allow one to choose their miseries.

Rich and alone.

If I'm dead ass broke, I won't be happy even if I have the ultimate love of my life beside me, I'll be stressed, worried and uncertain. I doubt they would be happy either.

I can be alone and be happy. Travel, spend time with my siblings and their children, and with my friends.

it's tough to choose, isn't it? I've been poor and in love...I look back and I smile because that was the happiest time of my life. I loved and still that man. :) But now that I'm living comfortably, it makes me question whether I'd want to be with him due to the fact that I won't be able to have the lifestyle that I have now. toughy...:O

One thing is for sure, don't ever do Poor and Alone. Went through that as a kid growing up and it sucks!

I've been poor and alone. The poorness sucked a lot worse than the aloneness, so i'll take rich and alone i guess.

A few years ago I would have said poor and in love... but life and dancing has jaded me so now I'd say rich and alone... reason being: when your poor and the person who loves you leaves you... well then your just poor and heartbroken... if your rich at least you have nice things to take your mind off of it..

KaylaM
10-21-2010, 04:42 AM
Wait... Alot of you haven't felt poor. So you don't know what poor is. Poor and broke is different. Being broke is a temporary situation. Being poor is a state of mind. Just FYI.

I've been blessed to have both situations in my life.

I'll take poor and in love any day.

In America, money is easy to come by if your smart about it.

Me too. I've had rich boyfriends and lovers and they have all been unfulfilled and had a big spiritual hole in their lives. My husband and I have been married for 22 years, we've made fortunes and then lost them again.....and also, alcoholism nearly killed me on my 40th birthday too.

Even now, we're not well off by any means.....but - I'm sober these days, and we couldn't be more in love with each other (and in love with life too), if we tried.

I would rather be poor and in love, than rich and alone.

And by alone I mean no friends, no family, no significant other, no pet, etc.

But I'm doing everything I can by dancing, going to college, staying on a good path without drugs or drinking in order to be in a position to someday be rich, and to attract the type of man I would want be in love with. :)

You can always buy love, or a reasonable facsimile of it. Most women would not live with a man who couldn't provide something other than cuddling and sex. Unless they want a kept man, and that's buying it.

Amen, my brothers. Tried all three. Even had "rich and in love" for a fleeting moment or two, before the marriage fell apart and then during a few recent relationships. Of course that was the BEST feeling of all, and maybe one day, I'll find it again. But until then, I'll stay happily rich and alone as the second best option...

If my husband ever sees this he'll kill me... but I think Id choose rich and alone. I mean I would never give him up... but my life would be soooo much easier. And if Im rich, I don't necessarily have to be alone all the time. Only when it suits me.


Wow has my opinion changed.... I'll take poor and in love any day...

I had rich and in lust when I was married to my ex husband. He dealt cocaine so we had money to burn and coke to shove up our noses. Fast forward 3 overdoses and a deviated septum later, I'm happy where I'm at with the man that I love.

He accepts me for who I am, past and all. We had some bad times but we got through them. Now we can start the rest of our lives together and I am so happy :D

(Just because I'm turning sappy I haven't lost my edge) -_-

Yeah I have to agree, poor and alone is the worst! Been there, and didn't like that at all. But being poor and in love is way the fuck better than having money and being lonely. The fact of the matter is, though, having money generally means you are going to have a superior social life.

Now staying poor, and staying in love--that is the true test. It can be done but fuck it's hard to pull off for more than a couple years.


let's face facts here ! If you're rich, and hot, you won't be 'alone' unless you want to be !

Can't argue with that! One of the best posts ever.
