Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
So I gotta ask everyone a question-would u rather be rich and alone or poor and in love? Bills paid, dolo in a phat house, with a phat bank account, loads of paper, your dream car, vacation spot, whatever you want OR in debt, struggling to pay bills with someone you love but you guys live in a project in a south bronx/shak in Louisiana/shit apartment in Frisco-whatever your fantasy, and your toilet never works, you don't get hot water, you never think about taking a bath 'cause that tub is so damn gnarly but you're getting through it with your soul mate, life long lover, partner, friend-everything. I WANNA KNOW-
RICH AND ALONE OR POOR AND IN LOVE?

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Heh, poor and in love. Remember the Brear Rabbit story? How can you fear what you came out of?
A lot of the wealthiest men I met as a dancer were miserable and/or lonely. They would often try to impress me with the "two houses-three cars- loads of cash" line, but it was so sad.
I want a hot young thing with a rocket in his pocket!

Rich and alone. Love dies or fades away. $ buys a horse or two and traveling and you can always meet someone.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Otherwise know as
Do you love things and use people?
Or, do you love people and use things?
Given all of the things I have seen people do, it is very hard to keep loving them, the deal with loving things is that they don't love you back, but at least they don't betray you.
But, I will still love people. Like Maxine says, I'll meet you in the briar patch. "Things" don't mean shit in the long run and you don't have to love everyone... just a few important ones.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
I spent half the winter in Mexico, a country full of people who have barely anything but enjoy every day of life.
Put it this way: will the million dollar house hold you at night when its cold? Will the hot car let you know when you're being a jerk and turning people off of you? Will all the people at the country club sit and have a brew with you and BS, or will they smile to your face and sneer at your back?
Once I teased a millionaire that I couldn't park my Camaro in his driveway because it leaked oil and he'd have to ask his "domestic" to put kitty litter on the stain. This guy was pretty cool for a rich dude (self-made)..but I have met some guys who come into the club and think they can buy anything. Nuh--uh....

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
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.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Me too i've seen so much miserable rich men ! At least if you are in love everything seems better !! Maybe i'm too romantic but I really think money can't buy happiness !

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
POOR AND ALONE....was that one of the choices?
-
Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
lol mojo..
ok, so if im in love and cant take a shower, that means i'll die soon?
i would rather be poor and in love as long as i could keep my humble home sanitary!!
otherwise rich and lonely..
-
Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Rich and in love, but barring that, poor and in love. I was bit by the damn cuddle bug a long time ago and it seems to be a chronic condition...

Put it to you like this: Poor and in love is living in the least comfortable conditions possible-no car, no TV (if u do have one, it's one of those TVs you have to hit a couple times to get airplay) lack of groceries and food you love (top ramen and whatever is on sale that you can afford at your local grocery store) living off coupons and maintaining a shitty paycheck. The broken toilet and shower add to the problem because your toilet is clogged at least once a week and it's not the bath tub that's gnarly, it's the fact that you've seen waterbugs in there whenever you think about taking a shower.
Being poor would suck huh?

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Well, at the moment I'm poor and in love and I don't see that changing any time soon. I've even got the broken toilet.... :-[

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Hell, I am poor and still in love after almost 9 years of marrage.

Been there done that, got the t-shirt.I grew up never knowing if we were gonna have enough food for the family or if there would be food at all, never knowing when the power would be shut off etc...all because of my parents divorcing(dad had money coming out his ears,mom was a raving alcoholic who lived in the worst conditions imagineable)
I've lived both sides of the coin, and can honestly say I would MUCH rather be poor and in love than rich and alone. Money is great and can buy all the creature comforts, but there is no replacing love in my opinion.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
poor and in love would be my choice. although, my living quarters would not be nasty. and my loving partner could stamp the water bugs :)

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Umm.... TO be spoiled rotten and have anything in the world.. or have the love of a good man..
well.. I can do middle class.. but not like living in the hood kinda thing..
If i really wanted to be rich that bad i would be.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Yea, I sort of miss at Christmas when they would drop off the bags of groceries at our house......Unfortunately, it seems that poor and disfunctional usually go together more than poor and in love... such is life.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
I grew up in a dumpy 3 family home in Dorchester (the ghetto) and I was happy with my simple life and simple friends. I never worried why people were nice to me and they never expected much from me except my love and friendship. My parents have since then become filthy rich. They are the most miserable people you will ever meet. As their bank accounts got bigger, so did their stress and physical abuse. I divorced them when I became 16. They have no friends. They trust no one, even their own family. They judge people on material possessions. They think driving a nice car means you're a good person, which I unfortunately have learned the hard way it isn't always true.
I have always said I would rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable and after seeing first hand how money can destroy people, I will stick to it.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
poor and in hawaii, in my own little house, growing my fruits and vegetables, swimming in the ocean, playing in the rainforest, hiking through unseen secret places, bathing under a waterfall...
I guess it takes money to get me there, but I despise money and what it does to most people.
I'll take poor and happy over rich and miserable anyday. The wealthiest people are often miserable, depressed, and unhappy - and often result to drugs. They sacrificed their life and their relationships to amass a forture, thinking it would bring happiness, but material objects cannot stimulate the human emotions like reciprical love from another human being. Money is so overrated. A new car and house is nice, but the novelty wears off very quickly, and the most beautiful place in the world is nothing if you don't have anyone to share it with.
