Dakini Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Another question crossed my mind in regards to the Love / Money questions: If you were a multi-millionaire but were single, would you sacrifice all that money to be with someone you love?
bluetuesday Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 no. i think the question supposes the 'one true love' theory. i expect i'd love again, in circumstances where the sacrifice wouldn't be necessary.

Author Dakini Posted November 22, 2004 Author Posted November 22, 2004 Interesting, merin, blue, whichway. Anyone else have an opinion?
HokeyReligions Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Let's see, I've done the "together and poor" routine to death! I would LOVE to do the "single and wealthy" thing now!
alphamale Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 no i would not sacrifice my million$ for some "true love" that may end up leaving me or worse yet, becoming a "desperate housewife" they money provides peace of mind, comfort, security and will never split (unless you spend it all!)
moimeme Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 You can't count on 'together'. Even if you both are faithful and loyal and loving, there's illness, accidents, etc. Anyway, how many people are stuck with that sort of choice?
honey2005 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 If you were a multi-millionaire but were single, would you sacrifice all that money to be with someone you love? Yes, definitely. I'm the "find your one true love and live happily ever after" type, so...yeah.
Wolvesbaned Posted November 27, 2004 Posted November 27, 2004 If you were a multi-millionaire but were single, would you sacrifice all that money to be with someone you love? Hell no. I agree, that kind of sacrifice isn't necessary, even if there's such a thing.
Welund Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 If it were a guarantee - that is to say, death is far away, as was said, et cetera - then yeah, sure, why the bloody hell not? I'm so obsessed about this sort of stuff as to be on this site, eh?
Gold Pile Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Very well off, but not a million dollar man....yet. I've been in love when I wasn't so well off$. No I wouldn't give it up for love. Money makes your entire life easier. (love life too) Money buys freedom. Love ends, when it does it may hurt, but the $person is better off than the broke one. More of a guy thing here...money attracts sex. Just sex can really help a broken hearted guy. Just sex can keep a guy from longing for Ms Right.
Art_Critic Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Very well off, but not a million dollar man....yet. . Your arrogant and single not wealthy and single.. If you are not a million dollar man then are not even close to being wealthy... Sorry GP.. You are no different than about another 20 million people in the us..
Gold Pile Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Your arrogant and single not wealthy and single.. If you are not a million dollar man then are not even close to being wealthy... Sorry GP.. You are no different than about another 20 million people in the us.. I own a company with over 2 dozen people. "GP inc" owns the building $700,000 value. As a hobby I manage my own stock portfolio ....as of last Friday it was $98,000. Diversification: I have an equal amount divided into 2 mutual funds. Recently sold my house just under $200,000. After mortage, and RE commision.... I pocketed half. I'm staying at the condo ...aprox value 100,000. I own- no mortgage-a duplex (it's on market now) aprox $180,000. It's provided me with positive cash flow for 10 years. I own the new car that everyone here assumes was a lease. No debts of any kind now...not even a mortage 48 weeks of the year I draw a modest salary of 2,000 Liquid cash on hand (me) high $100's Liquid cash on hand (Inc) triple that. I won't go into my unearned income or retirement savings. Don't care what Art's definition of wealthy is. Art strikes me as a $45,000 max yearly guy. Nothing wrong with that, unless you think it makes you a financial genuis.
Art_Critic Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Art strikes me as a $45,000 max yearly guy. You still are not wealthy.. And I won't tell you how much I'm worth.. But I will tell you I own several companys with some of them the sales exceed 3 mill plus per year and my house is a new 6 bedroom 2 full kitchen 5 bathrooms.. I also own more than 1 home and own commericial real estate as well some rental some is where my businesses are located So 45,000 per year not even close.. I spend that on my mortgage payment You figure it out ... By the way I drive a Toyota Sequioa You are just pissed cuz I hit you in the heart and you felt it By the way.. Recently sold my house just under $200,000. My first house I bought when I was 22 was worth more than 200,000.. I'm 42 today
Juliet Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I am on spousal support. I receive 1300per month plus coverages to stay single! I receive this money for life unless I risk it all and live with another man. I worry that I risk it all and a week later we break up. It sux..I met a wonderful man and he says if I risk it all and it does not work..I am not getting a penny from him! Knowing this makes me wonder if I should even go there. He has nothing to lose does he? Must be nice!
Woggle Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 It depends. If she is really worth it than yes I would be with her but she would have to be really special.
Outcast Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Even a million bucks doesn't really define you as 'wealthy' anymore. Maybe if you already have a big ol' house and a genuinely expensive car (though, as you've been told, the genuinely wealthy people don't necessarily buy the high-end vehicles) and maybe an art collection and a million bucks in liquid assets you could be on your way to 'wealthy'. What you seem to be is someone who grew up on the 'gold-digger' side of the tracks.
JS17 Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Recently sold my house just under $200,000. After mortage, and RE commision.... I pocketed half. I'm staying at the condo ...aprox value 100,000. Dude, I thought I was practically poor and my apartment is worth about twice as much as yours.
lindya Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 and my house is a new 6 bedroom 2 full kitchen 5 bathrooms.. That sounds like a splendid idea. You can sleep in different bedrooms each night, use different bathrooms and alternate between eating out and dirtying up the 2 different kitchens until the whole house hits crisis level. More cleaning, ultimately, but less often.
Art_Critic Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I am on spousal support. I receive 1300per month plus coverages to stay single! I receive this money for life unless I risk it all and live with another man. I had an uncle who was living with a woman that was in the same situation you are in.. After they did all the numbers for SS and how verus how much she would lose and throw in the married tax deductions and such they decided to go get married.. In the end it wasn't much of a risk.. But you have to balance it in your own mind.. You are risking your future no matter how you look at it..

There is something to be said about the dirtying up of the 2 kitchens.. They are decorated differently and have different types of dishes and sometimes I get them all mixed up and it's a pain to have to deal with so I try and use only 1 kitchen.. cooking Pizza can be such a pain in the ass
Woggle Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I have a 3 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms and that is good enough for me. I also have a great basement where I have bar and I have all types of stuff down there. My mortgage will be paid off by next year.
