What matters more in life: financial success or being in a loving relationship?

well for me, financial stability comes first. love is great but stress from money problems can slowly destroy even a good relationship

It really depends on the definition of “success” or “failure” here. Would I rather be rich and lonely or poor and loved? Loved. Would I rather be middle class and loved or upper class and tolerated? Loved. Would I rather be dying of starvation and homeless with a sort of okay partner, or financial solvent and single? I’ll take the ability to survive.

Loving relationship, any day. Having lots of money does *not* make one happy. In fact, in my life I have had periods of time when I had too much money for my own good, and it only brought sorrow, self-doubt, boredom, impulse spending woes and envy in others. Being in a loving relationship makes one truly happy, no matter the financial situation, and at least you can navigate life with a partner on your side.

ugh that's a tough one, but honestly, i’m obsessed with the idea of a perfect love story over cash. like, can’t we have both?

I don't have any but I'd always choose a loving relationship. In my opinion, a world without love is a world I don't want to live in.

If a loving relationship means having great communication, actually finding a compromise, being overly obsessed with each other, treating each other as equals, sharing the house work, raising the kids together, checking in on each other and constantly “fighting” about the other person needing more rest than you do then 1000000% a loving relationship. The amount of times I hear what others have to go through with their partners is crazy (been there and will never go back) and I just feel so lucky I have someone who respects the hell out of me and loves me for who I am. Money will always come and go but time with your loved ones is something you can never get back

I'm in a loving and short term relationship with money thank you. But I am willing to seed more capital if I can buy a 2nd house.

you can interpret this in two ways... It is better to be financially secure as it builds trust and reliability in the relationship and the rest will follow orrrr it is better to have a partner that is loyal through financial hardship and success as that builds loyalty and trust. depends on the person but both have their place.

Being in a loving relationship matters more than financial success to me.

Rich in wallet broke in heart—big oof

Loving relationship

Loving relationship.

Depends on if you're getting one at the expense of the other. Having love and having completely average finances is fine. But having love at the expense of serious financial hardship is one of the things that can break a relationship.

i'd rather be broke and loved than rich and alone. the money stuff can be worked on. the loneliness that comes from having no one who actually sees you is a different kind of hard

Love first, in every sense

Give me that loot!

Never sacrifice your financial independence. I don't think I'd pick being rich over being in love, but I'd never rely on someone else for money so if a loving relationship required me to give up that, it would be end of that relationship.

Financial success. Love can only take you so far. If you're financially unstable, arguments will be more common and your relationship will be shaky. Eventually, one of you will have to let go.

Financial comes first, being able to afford my needs before a man buys it for me😊

Most relationships fail. If you're sensible with your money it will always be their to give you security, options, luxury. Protect yourself and your money above trusting another person who is statistically likely to let you down. A

Ma sanctification honnêtement les 2 sont temporaires

If you’ve never been poor you’ll say relationship. If you’ve never been lonely you’ll say money. 

money!

Financial success. I don’t want my love to suffer because we are poor.

It depends what you want to leave behind: Some kids who grew in a loving family and hopefully know how to live with moderation and modesty, or a rich skeleton.

Both. But Financial first.

Financial tbh

Financial success. Tf

Both.

Financial stability comes first for me, love sometimes can waver but money won't

financial success which for me means independence and freedom and respect
