Love Or Money

Love
For I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love (The Beatles). This just goes to show that money cannot buy you love. I would definitely pick love over money because money can’t buy me love, love will keep you happy, and money will not always be there. I would pick love over money because money can’t buy me love. “Love is that feeling you get when you meet the right person."(Gila Manolson). Love is a feeling and the last time I checked you can’t just walk into a store and buy feelings. When you are in love the other person will not care if you have all the money in the world or no money at all. You shouldn’t have to give them money in order for them to stay with you they will stay no matter what if it is truly love. I would pick love over money because love will keep you happy. Whether your poor or rich you will not be happy until you find someone and fall in love. Through the thick and thin love will always be there if only I could say the same thing about money. Money is just an object and will only keep you happy temporarily but love will keep you happy forever no matter what. I would pick love over money because money will not always be there. Money comes and money goes but love will last forever. Money gives you a false sense of happiness because you go out and buy stuff and you’re happy for about a week then you want something else so you buy it. Sooner or later money will run out and you can’t buy happiness anymore so if you just pick love in the first place you will always be happy because love doesn’t run out. In the Philadelphia story George was just going to marry Tracy because she was rich but Tracy ended up marrying Dexter because they were in love. If a relationship is started for financial gain it simply will not work out. I would pick love over money because money can’t buy me love, love will keep you happy, and money will not always be there.

    Unfortunately, that is not the case for most people. I would assume the majority of people would sacrifice doing something they love if it meant more money. Personally, I would like to find a happy medium which I believe most people should try and do. Some people may get lucky and would love to be a surgeon or an engineer. For those who aren’t so lucky, you have to make a decision. Not only a decision, but one of the biggest of your life. You have to either sacrifice some happiness for more money, or vice versa. In the end, I believe your decision should purely be based on what you believe will make you the happiest, because as long as you have that it doesn’t matter how much money you…

    It is said that money cannot buy happiness. Many people believe for this to be true. They think money can solve any and all problems. Some even think that love can be bought with materialistic items. In The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, love, wealth, and love of wealth go hand in hand to create a magical novel of what can happen when money controls the heart.…

    People have a choice, they can either choose love or money. Very few people get both love and money and those people who do are lucky. Readers can see this with Tish’s family. Although they love each other they have very little in the way of money, while Fonny’s family has little love that is very scattered, they do have some money for his mother and his sisters to get nice, fancy things (Baldwin). It is clear that there is always a choice and this choice clearly has a better answer, Love is worth more than money because it keeps people happy. Love is worth more than any amount of money in the world. When it comes to weighing love and money they are waited in different ways. Just ask a child with parents who fight all day. Would they rather have to deal with their parents yelling and screaming all day and get lots of expensive new toys or would they rather their parents stop fighting and just love each other? Of course they are going to chose the love option because this mean that their parents love will make everybody happy and will make life a much better experience. Of course there might be some ups and downs along the way, and everything has pains of sorrows, even love but working through it is much better than sitting in it the pain (Source D). Money is nothing compared to the joy and happiness that comes with the possibility of…

    Although money can buy our necessary needs such as a bed, computers, books, food, and acquaintances, it can't buy respect, common sense, a purpose in life, a close-knit family and a strong work ethic. In my opinion, money can buy the illusion of happiness, but the true happiness has no money value. Also, money can also ruin your social relationship between your friends and family. From the story "The Scholarship Jacket", it told a story of a girl, named Marta, who grew up her with her father, who was a farm laborer, but he didn't make enough money to feed eight of his children. So she moved to live with her grandparents But despite having no money, she had a loving family, and it didn't stop her from working hard to achieve her goals, to have…

    Money can buy first impressions, but it cannot buy true love. True love comes from having mutual respect for one another, caring for someone other than yourself, sharing great experiences, and building a strong relationship together. It is proven that relationships that are based off of money rarely ever end up happy. The opposing side may argue that if someone buys their significant other more expensive items such a diamond ring that this will satisfy him/her and all your troubles will be gone, but if that's all it takes to have a successful relationship then you are in a unhealthy relationship. Therapist Aaron Ben-Zeev Ph.D. says, “Money can't buy love and love can't buy money, but money increases the chances of love and love decreases the need for money. When one is in love, money is of less significance, and when one lacks money for basic needs, love is often more at risk.” (Ben-Zeev) You should enjoy love regardless of whether you have a lot of money. Like when the song writer and artists The Beatles once said in their hit song Can't Buy me Love “Say you don't need no diamond ring and I'll be satisfied. Tell me that you want the kind of thing that money just can't buy. I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love.”…

    According to I Timothy 6:10, “Greed of money is the root all evil.” Money cannot buy love or friends. Love and friends require time, and while, if you think on the bright side, perhaps money can buy friends and love, those will not be genuine and will instead befriend you or love you just because of your money. I think the most important thing in life is love because even though you have lots of money but you don’t have someone to share it with it would be meaningless. So many people now almost live for money. Life is quite ironic now, when people are young they spend their health chasing money and when they’re old they spend their money chasing their health. They have treated money as a god, money now resembles power, and due to money lots of people lost their loves, they substituted money for their family and friends. They do not value relationships. I can sum up all of these; money is a one way trip to hell.…

    Another important thing that make us happy would be health. Have you noticed that people without health or wealth always wish for better health, however people with health only wish for health? In fact, what is the use of a very expensive house or car or success in carrier if you are not healthy? Only when someone has become serious ill do people realize the true importance of their health and the health of their friends and family. Thus, it stands to reason that health leads to happiness much more than wealth. Therefore, health is more important than wealth.…

    On one side, it’s pretty obvious that the most important things in life can’t be bought, for example love, happiness, or to be more concrete, having a baby, or getting married, or even things as simple as receiving a big smile from someone we love. All these things are payless and are worth more than any jewel or car or house or anything material. Also, we’ve always heard that money can’t buy happiness, and we’re always seeing famous actors who have everything they want, but they have depression or even sometimes kill themselves because they are so unhappy.…

    We must have heard the clichés that money is not everything and money cannot buy everything. Imagine yourself to live without money, how are you going to be happy when you cannot even make a life? Perhaps, money is not everything and we cannot buy everything with money, but money increases our life chances. I wish I had a lot of money so that I have the chance to help my family, build an orphanage and help in saving the mother earth.…
