Somebody wasn’t thinking when they said “For love OR money.” Because money is absolutely necessary for love - maybe not in huge quantities, but we need some money to love with. Not to mention needing money for the life needs of food, clothing and shelter.

yea i guess we do need some material posessions…food, house, clothing, and sometimes relationships are enjoyable when you have a little money for activities, i really do think love is free though. Even if dirt poor, friends can be together. just my humble opinion…

Don’t starve to death believing that, @anon92887483 But I agree that a lot of us could probably do well with less than what we have.

So a man that has no money and I have to support him gets no love?
My dad’s mom used to say that even if you are poor you can be clean 
.
That doesn’t have anything to do with love but the topic made me think of it.

With the job that I had I could’ve bought a nice house and fancy car. idk. My mobile home is paid off and it’s sufficient. My used Subaru was also paid off.

“Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”
That’s what they say.
He gets all his needs from you - like you’re his mamma. Is that love - I think it is only if he is an invalid.
I think love does cost money to a certain extent like I wouldn’t feel right if my partner had to pick up my slack financially and that’s kinda why I stay single and don’t even try finding someone not saying it’s impossible but you need money to do things

Yes and no. I posted a singles ad when I was ill and unemployed, mentioned being disabled (I was at the time). No responses. Posted an ad some years later when I was employed full-time and also owned my own business. Made a point of mentioning that in the ad. Got so many responses it crashed my server. One of them was Mrs. Squirrel. I asked her if she would have answered my ad if I mentioned I was on disability and not working. She said honestly, no. She wanted a partner, not someone to care for full-time.

Meh, it’s not worth mentioning, but love is complicated.
yea i know what you mean, romantic love definately usually needs some stockpiling because women often want to have children and need to make sure they are provided for so they sometimes will forgo great love interests to filfull this desire i think. romantic love. okay fine requires money, but i mean friendship, brothership, family love…thats always free.
I’m of the opinion that I could only find a mate if I was financially stable or well off.
It seems like at least in the US having a good job and nice material possessions is very important.
I don’t feel like I have anything to offer a woman.
It’s very frustrating.
True love doesnt require money it requires sacrifice, trust, and honesty.

Love can also cost you your mental health, if it is not reciprocated.

Should I change my statement to “Life costs money.”? Because some of you aren’t getting the point.
