Seriously.

Yep.  money makes stuff easy but it aint everythin ppl can be hella rich but alone. depresed.  so whats the point?  u cant buy happines w/money.

Love isn't subject to the conditions of someone's economic ability, imo, Nero. If the heart holds love, romantic or any other variety, then it's not bounded by a lot of silly chains: money, status, religious affiliation or lack of it, race, color, sex-characteristics, gender, intelligence or its lack or looks.

Love comes only through knowing and feeling. Ay least that's my experience. Anyhting else is peurile nonsense and drives love out.

Nichole

Yes, but to be perfectly honest, I would have trouble loving someone uneducated.  Whether officially or self-taught doesn't matter, but I would have trouble getting past poor grammar, illiteracy, and narrowness of thought in order to get to know the person well enough to love them.

Could you love someone poor?

Yes, I could.  Money is no object for me nor do I have any educational standards for those I fall in love with.  I find that a good soul can always make up for any other deficiencies. Not everyone is well equipped to be thinkers, scientists, money-makers, etc, etc, etc, and in most cases this is no fault of their own.  To accept this and still be proud of what they CAN do is worth a lot IMHO.

Of course.

Love is love.  It isn't dependent on money, education, looks, health, station in life.  If you love someone, really love them.  That is all that matters.  The rest can always be worked out.

Love,
Janet

You mean love a poor person?

Of course. But only if they're poor because of some sort of legitimate reason. If they're lazy asses, I can't love someone like that. They're lazy asses.

Hmmm....are you poor, Nero?  Sorry, guy, but I'm taken.  Also, I'm really old.  And I have a partner I love.  And oh yeah, I only go for girls.

Nero Hon,

What kind of car do you drive? 

Sorry  >,

Oooh, you're so rad, Janet. 

I know if I were to love someone intimately and with all my heart, I would do my damnest to make sure that they never felt the hardships that poverty causes.  And, I would expect the same in return.

And what do you drive, Elwood?

Right now, I am a new driver, practicing on a learner's permit.

I drive my step-mom's Honda, my dad's Suburban, and my dad's Viper.

That's right. VIPER. Just kidding, I haven't driven it yet, but I will eventually.

When you love someone, you have all you ever need. Everything else is superfluous. Souls, hearts, the connections formed between two sentient beings... don't hang on a price tag. What matters is the feeling, the emotion, the bond you share... not the bank balance.

Money can be lost and gained in the blink of an eye. Love can last forever.

I would rather be poor and madly in love with someone, truly and deeply in love with them, than rich.  I hate money in general and see it as the root of evil.  Love is good and ever lasting.  As others said, money isn't everything.

And yes, I'm an idealist and a romantic at heart when it comes to love.

If I ever had to choose between love and money, I'd never be poor again. I just wouldn't have any money.

Well said!!

I did fall in love with a poor man.  But he is very smart.  He doesn't have a college degree but has saved his whole life for retirement.  Yes, very smart indeed.

Cindi

I presume I would.  I'd imagine it'd be a tad difficult to establish a romantic relationship with someone whose intellectual capacity were below average, but I'd find it more traumatizing to have feelings for an arrogant, nerdy, know-it-all prick!

I think I could love someone poor. If they have the capacity to take care of them selves physically. But not someone who just lives on the street because they want to or have some issues that keeps them there. I guess if someone is living on the street would be a major problem for me.
