Money and love are both empty promises worth nothing when you're faced with an inevitable death.

Money comes and goes, and I think not having money can make you miserable, but having it does not guarentee happiness. If you can make your bills and have a vacation once and a while, your level of happiness doesn't stand to rise with any more $. As for love, real love can keep you positive, driven and smiling. Real love can provide you with a steady supply of support and good orgasms, which chemically provide more seratonin and therefore happiness. If/when you must choose, even if you are broke; choose love.

They do say that money can never buy you happiness - but i'm inclined to believe that really depends on the type of person you are. Some people really do love money and having it makes them happy.
For me though, an eternal romantic at heart - no, it can't.

Money only matters in the real world of life in that it buys what you need to survive.

After that it has no meaning at all because it is what is in your heart that will determine your happiness.

I wish money were more important to me. I'd be a lot better off in life if it were. I'm sure I'd have the woman of my dreams if it were. Plus, I'd have a better style of life, and would feel more secure.
