Question
Would you rather be rich and alone or poor and with the love of you life and why?
Answer
currently, I am extremely poor and also very alone and have been that way for about years so I feel that I can answer the question fairly. I would rather be rich and alone because money provides a type of power and freedom to pursue the life you want to live. For example,with money you can eat healthier and gain all the benefits of proper nutrition which will help your overall general mental, emotional, spiritual and physical dispositon and in turn make you a better potential partner. You can use your money to better yourself by becoming educated or doing the things you feel most connected to with out worrying about the car getting repoed or some other finacial stress. With money there is a freedom of time and choice that doesnt exist for the poor. The poor work very hard, trust me I know, to have the basics like a roof over their head, a little food on the table, transportation and very few other things. Maintaining a relationship requires a lot more than money, but having money makes it easier for the other things to be had. If the love of your life has a birthday and you cant afford to buy them what you want to and have to settle for something else, how does that make you feel? The story of the gift of the magi is charming and moving, but I dont want to live that way. The reoccuring theme of my post is that it is better to seek to be the right person than be with the right person and so I am seeking to be the right person and see having money as an asset and having a relationship without it is more of a liability. When you are the right person it is much more realistic that your partner will be the right person as well, and the same holds true if youre not the right person. I have thought about what how I could or would make a good husband and I have several ideas, but two important ideas not the only ideas, but for the sake of this post are protection and provision which require resources and are subcategories of security. Summing up, I am poor and alone. I would rather conquor the money problems first and then pursue the love of my life if such a thing exists.
