I asked my partner, what would make your life better ?
He said Money. If I win the lottery, I will be my own boss, I will start a business, buy a lot of things, live a happy life.
Which one do you think is dumber in life?

I don’t know why but I’m in that mood. I have never succeeded at the love game but I have when it came to making some money. So I trust having money more. Maybe that’s because of the asexualness from the meds otherwise I would be the hopeful romantic always choosing love.
Choose money, then buy love.
I read an article that said… Nothing in life is more vital for health more than being loved and taken care of.
I don’t understand the first question. For the second one I answered financial security. I have a loving partner and I’m grateful for him, truly, but I am stressed often because of lack of money. I don’t need millions, but I would be happier with enough to pay off my debt and live comfortably, without worrying for the last week of each month. (I get paid once a month) And if I had enough to support my son and put him through college; bliss!
“Now when you stop to think of it, all these latter material contacts, right through the whole of life, are at root and in essence aimed at really just one thing: that rare inner feeling of companionship suggested feebly in the sitting-by-the-fire idea. That is what we really are groping for in all friendly and loving human relations, hampered by the fact that we are different people more or less muffled from each other by the barriers of encasement in the body.” - Stewart Edward White, from Across the Unknown
Money is only necessary because people don’t exchange their talents and goods evenly and freely. Seems too fantastical I guess to think a world that can take only what it needs without excess is possible though. Just what kind of world are we saying we live in then? In the end… what was really more important?
It’s quite depressing that if your goal in life isn’t to amass a great deal of wealth you’re not likely going to be accepted by “family” or “friends”. What kind of “friends” or “family” is that huh?
If I had enough money I would simply give whatever is left over to my family. I only need enough to survive. Even if they did not love me I would love them and take care of them.
Health is more important than anything else for me.
I don’t care for love nor money.
I wouldn’t be alive without my mom’s love or the company of my brother, as much as I hate to admit it…
I could probably live without money but I would die without love.
i love to be loved but in think i just can’t live without money.
My life would be very stressful, boring without love but i will die of starvation without money.
Both are important. Obtaining a “middle ground” between the two is important for a happy life.
For example:
Don’t date the guy that is a drug addict that you’re madly in love with, in the end financial ruin will cause severe strain on the relationship and you’ll separate.
Don’t date the boring accountant that makes you want to fall asleep during sex, in the end you’ll end up being miserable and separating.
Find the middle ground. Find someone that is interesting and that you love but has some potential for a successful future ahead of them.
I’m surprised I’m the only person who has ranked “career and success” as their highest priority so far!
I wanted to vote but the poll results would show and they would probably be interpreted as demoralizing, by my paranoid schizophrenia. some things are better left unknown, I guess…
this is also my excuse for not waiting on a 100+ foot-long line and not voting on Election Day 
Interesting results so far. More people choose “love” as a dumber part of life, then the largest procent choose ’ a loving partner’ as what would make their lives better.
Your questions are too hard! How can you choose between love and health! I have suffered because of my health, and I will continue to suffer. Yet I would not give up the love of my life. How can someone choose such a thing. I need a break right now.
Also what is your new avatar? Is that warped wallpaper or something?
Right now in my life, I am choosing security as a priority. I am secure and safe and loved in a good way by someone and I am doing well financially too. A part of me still wants to run free and adventurous. Life is short and nothing beats experience than a comfy boring life. But some people do not even have that, so I try to be grateful with what I have and some days I am happy, some days sad at least I am doing okay and have a good heart. I just freak out when I think this is how I will die. without falling in crazy love or traveling the world or becoming very successful in my profession or having a lot of good memories to cherish. Is this all there is to life ?
I need all of those though, i wanted all of them.
Here’s a big hug for you!
Health and love should be the two most important things for people on here it is for me.
