Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Poor and in LOVE! So what if there is not TV, we have each other to entertain oursleves. ;D
Money would not buy my happiness, it'll comfort the shit out of me...but that's it. I was brought up poor, still poor, & wouldn't mind dying poor as long as I lived a happy life in love.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
I have great news for anyone dreaming of an idyllic life on an island, unencumbered by evil money and superfluous possessions- due to the nature of island life, the cost of living is high, and tropical storms blow away many possessions. So..you go through cash fast, and your stuff gets trashed or rusted out. And to maintain your humility, the natives of any given island will gladly beat you up.
The best part? Your sense of general well-being is enhanced by the isolation, scenic beauty and all the booze used to pad out your grocery expenditure and food intake.
Felicidades de la isla de Puerto Rico!!!! ; )

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
If you would of asked me 5-6 years ago, I would have easily said, Rich and alone...
Today - Poor and In Love... hands down ;)

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Money can't buy love- it can try but eventually it will take more and more money in order to buy it... so my answer is poor and in love...
And, one of the fondest memories of my marriage is when my ex hubby and I ate top ramen and watched Leno on a small black and white t.v. and slept on a twin sized futon. You'd be surprised how creative you can get with top ramen.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
I've never met a woman who really meant it when she said "I love you, no matter what." One ex had the nerve to say "I wanna be with you even if we have to eat beans from a can!" What a crock a shit! She had to be the most spoiled ungrateful under-medicated brat I'd ever dated! :spit: It still makes me laugh to think about it. I'm a musician and work in the not-for-profit performing arts, so I'll take rich and alone any day!
Jaded-but-still-lovable at the young age of 40. ::)

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
On a serious note though, I have seen money change people- for the worse. It's really disturbing...you're left scratching your head, wondering, Did they always have THAT in them? WTF?
Many forget part of modern American charm is that being middle-class is cool. For example, people used to dress up, now they dress down. Look at the Ramones (RIP!!) American heroes dressed in cheap black jeans and tee shirts, in Converse sneakers. "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." ..."Jackass"...Livin' in the suburbs. Shopping at department stores. You can be middle income in the US and live well.
Happiness is youth, health and an attitude.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Ah yes Madmaxine.. so have I... case in point: I went to school with someone who is now a well known NFL football player. He came from nothing, he has everything and a big ass dick head attitude to boot. He is by far so changed by money that it literally consumes him.
As the song says, "money, money changes everything".

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Poor and in love. Gotta have some guarantee that the love is forever, though (hey, can you tell I'm separated? ::) )
I grew up poor, too. God, didn't we all? After way too much bone-crunching work, I turned that around, but now I'm smack in the middle of "rich and alone." Hmmm. Law of unintended consequences. It doesn't happen for "love of money," though. It happens because you throw yourself into work to protect others -- your children, your wife, your friggin' employees. I'm always worried about everybody else.
Being poor -- I mean really poor -- creates a terrifying fear of poverty, mostly because you fear for your children and others you care for. Fear is a powerful motivator. It's much stronger than greed.
The "in love" part trumps "poor" and makes life wonderful. I would still be worried about the children, though.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Well, I just see what having money can do to you and then when you lose it what you can turn into. I grew up with enough money for 5 kids and all the stuff we could want, I'll say we were lucky. However, things happen and so even though my family is comfortable, they are far from happy. I don't know where I stand exactly right now, because i have had love and lost love, I have been poor and I have had wealth. I'd say now at 19, Rich and Lonely, I'm allowed to change my mind right?!

Poor and in love-been there done that and would do it again. :)

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
I would love to pick poor and in love but, I also have to have my shower and I would become unhappy, unhappy, you start to become unhappy with yourself, unhappy with yourself and then you can't love yourself, can't love yourself, then you can't love someone else....I choose rich and alone........;)
Did you catch all that?:O LOL..
-
Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Probally poor and in love because I am poor and in love right now! LOL! But sometimes you like to think the grass is greener on the other side even though usually it's not! Sometimes I think rich and alone but when I really think about it, I would rather be with my baby boy any day over having money!:)
Hell, my boyfriend is the reason I don't strip anymore! So there is your answer...;)

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Rich and alone at this point in my life. I don't really care where the money comes from just as long as it comes...
Someday you will all be at that point.

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Go make money but don't let money make you.
I'd choose being alone and filthy rich anytime over being in love. I love being by myself and I tend to get tired of guys easily. I'm a player and I attract men easily. In my life though, I have friends that satisfy me emotionally. As for the physical satisfaction, I can do that on my own. Friends are more important than romantic love. I'm probably the most unemotional being you will ever meet. I don't fall in love.
You see, I don't get attached to people even my family. I can leave all these people behind on a whim or when they die, I don't think I will ever cry. I'm like a psychopath except I don't purposely hurt anybody emotionally or physically. I hardly ever get depressed being on my own. I just like to meet different people my whole life. I'm satisfied with that. I don't need any kind of romantic love in my life at all.
Love does not pay the rental.
Love does not feed you.
Love does not clothe you.
Love is an illusion that promotes reproduction.
Money pays for everything you need to survive.
Money may not buy you happiness but it will buy you all the things that make you happy!
Money all the way for me!!! You can never go wrong with money!!!

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
rich and alone. since i am an attractive girl, its very easy to fix the alone part if i feel like it. The rich part takes time and energy though...

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

Re: Rich and Alone vs. Poor and In Love
Rich and single. But never alone!
