    You have a hypothetical choice, one million euros in cash or your true love soul mate. What do you choose?

    Id go with the soul mate. But 10 million euros might be a different story ;)

    Could I take 5 million and someone I just really liked?:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,543 ✭✭✭JerryHandbag


    I'd take the money and run everyday of the week


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,540 ✭✭✭Giselle


    Love, please.

    I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love.

    :P

    If I was single now - I'd take the money - no problem, and chance my luck in the future.

    As I'm married, I gotta assume that the question would mean I'd have to give up Mrs I Heart Internet. So no, no I wouldn't.

    Money is over rated. If you're miserable and rich, you're still miserable. If you're happy and poor, you're still happy. We should all aspire to be happy, not rich.
    If you can be both, great, but if not then happy wins out everytime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    A soul mate.

    Money isn't all that. Happiness is much more important :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen


    what about the love of money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,280 ✭✭✭✭Eric Cartman

    Only a fool would not take the money. If you have the money you have all the love you need!
    They say money can't buy you happiness, I say that is crap:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,709 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    A woman with whom you spend your life with whom you must stay faithful to while listening to all her crap and pretending to care?

    OR...

    10 million euro worth of coke and hookers?

    I'm sure Gary Speed had plenty of money. I can't say for sure because I've never had enough, but I don't think any amount of money can make you happy in the long term.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭foxyboxer


    I'd go with the soulmate.
    Money will make you comfortable. A soulmate will make you happy.

    Assuming my soulmate has big knockers that is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,449 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Money cant buy you happiness. Id rather be poor and happy then rich and alone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Money can get you love.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Love. Although if that meant being in absolute poverty, it would be a problem.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,770 ✭✭✭LeeHoffmann


    Money can make you happy. I'm not particularly interested in it and have no desire to be super rich though (comfortable would be perfect). I want good conversation, great sx, and fantastic cuddles. Soul mate wins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    Love. Money won't spoon with you and hold your sore PMS b&&bs in its warm hands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 98 ✭✭gerryg80


    Tough one,

    I would have initially said love, but when i think of the difference the money could make to my family..., i find myself leaning towards the less selfish choice of taking the money

    Love under conditioned I'd never lose it. Otherwise. Money please


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    Well, having a partner doesn't equal happiness. Nor does money of course. I'd choose inner peace or whatever that stuff the Buddha has going on over both.

    Why would you want to be rich and alone afterwards?

    Anyway I pick love


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    Love.
    I'd prefere to be broke and in love(like i am now!) than rich and alone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    I need the money. I can always buy me some lovin'. :D


  • Posts: 23,339 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'd need to see the soulmate first, if she was a dog I'd go for the cash.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭John Doe1


    chips no wait daddy


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 377 ✭✭Dublin Chick


    I have had love so this time round I will take the cash please.....IMO opinion Money can buy you happiness....Granted it does not work for everyone but I have a feeling that I would be a very happy lady with plenty of spends in my bank account.

    Depends, if it's in a situation where I have enough money to live on and the occasional human contact, I'd choose love, but if it's a choice of being penniless or alone, I'd choose alone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 DiscoBiscuits


    Money cant buy love! But it can buy happiness!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,430 ✭✭✭positron


    Not at all what I expected from AH. All this sensible replies are making me depressed. Give me the money dammit!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,922 ✭✭✭hooradiation


    To quote a philosopher king
    "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks" - Dre, Dr (1992). Bitches Ain't Shit. Los Angeles: Death Row Records.

    So, in that case, money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭St.Spodo


    A bit of both would be nice, but love guarantees happiness, money doesn't imo.

    Love, every time.

    The happiest times I've ever had have always involved being in a loving relationship.

    I've had decent amounts of money in the past but it goes away pretty quickly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    Love wins every time for me. I rather have love and be happy than be alone and rich. Though being on my own for me would not be a big deal but it wouldn't bother me that way but still I wouldn't want to be alone, living alone maybe but on my own totally no. I like that warmth and closeness, have someone to talk too and have a laugh not just having my own space and independence.

    What is money? Just have enough money to get by is as much as I would want. I am more materialistic than wanting money but love wins out hands down.

    Money can't buy love, money can't buy happiness but love can offer happiness and happiness can offer love.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 604 ✭✭✭tempura


    Oh Love definitely.

    Used to have the money, but not the love.

    Now I am quite quite broke but very much in love.

    I have never been so happy.:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 525 ✭✭✭Halo Kitty


    My sould mate would be worth more than a million to me...so it would have to be love...

    That's a tad idealistic really, I know plenty of folks who are in love and they aren't happy, you could love someone who is being unfaithful, who has a drink problem etc etc etc.

    If you can be both, great, but if not then happy wins out everytime.

    I'd be pretty fcuking happy if I was rich enough to stroll into a car dealers and drive out in anything I wanted, or go to an airport with a bag and passport and go anywhere in the world I felt like. :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    up to this year i would have said love with being in love for the first time/first relationship etc, but since thats been over this year i pick money, it cant hurt you or break your heart so thats good to me :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,692 ✭✭✭Jarren


    Show me the money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 211 ✭✭Johnny D. Mudd


    Well right now, one million euro's would buy me a house with four bedrooms and a big arse kitchen along with a sizeable garage and possibly basement too which I could fit it out for studio recording. I could live comfortably and most of the remaining money could be invested so that it's value increases annually. Then with the independence and security that I have, many ladies would be happy to hook up with a man who is financially secure and can provide them with a stable environment in which to raise their kids.

    The money wins everytime.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 142 ✭✭shannie


    Definitely love.
    Money's cool and it can get you a lot of things but love means so much more.. It means you have someone to talk to, to help you, and most of all just to love like? Money is over rated... :O


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    Don't believe in soul mates so I'll take the cool million please.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 770 ✭✭✭sgb


    Definitely the money

    If that does make me happy I could give it away and look for love


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,779 ✭✭✭up for anything


    many ladies would be happy to hook up with a man who is financially secure and can provide them with a stable environment in which to raise their kids.

    Jesus, Mary and Joseph being a fine example of such an arrangement. :D
