| Love or money? |
 |
|
If confronted in a situation where you have to choose between your career which makes a lot of money or the person who makes you happy, what would you choose, the person you love or the money?

Happiness beats money any day. HOWEVER, how do you know the person you love is going to make you happy? A person you love can cause you a lot of heartache. Be aware of where you derive your happiness. True happiness comes from within and isn't dependent on something outside of yourself "making" you happy.
Tough choice. Money can buy you companionship. 
And I didn't answer the question, did I..........

Why do you have to choose? If you have to choose, then this person doesn't fit the happiness requirement.

This question is too hard...I pass... 
Try this...seriously...it works on my difficult decisicions all the time...
Flip a coin-- assign heads to the money and tails to the love...
Be disciplined to your toss, and let your heart choose when you see the results...if you are relieved with the toss go with the position--if not, go with the opposite...
I think rolo hit it on the head...the decision shouldn't be hard if the box is properly checked...
I can never learn enough...

Is this hypothetical, because if not I could really use more info to answer the question.

Exactly! You have to decide what is important to you first, and then see if this person fits your needs. If this person wants to make you happy they will support you in your career. If two people are going to make a life together they need to have similar values on the important things like finances. Otherwise all the love in the world won't keep the relationship together.

If love goes south, what's the ONLY thing you are gonna care about in the end? It's gonna be the opportunities you missed on and the money you gave up.
I'm not saying that finding "the one" isn't a valuable thing in life, but keep in mind there are usually thousands of "the one"s for any given person.
Like investments, you gotta have a risk balance when it comes to love vs. future. Everyone has different risk tolerances.

It is hard to replace people who bring happiness into your life. A poor person who is happy is much better than a rich person who is miserable.

Id choose love over money any day, and have done in the past. Without people you love in your life you probably wont ever truly be happy or succsessful.

HAHA! And that might be the reason you're dead! bahaha
Yeah...that whole remember you thing...I don't see the point....you'll be dead...not like you'll know or anything....or care...you'll have other more important concerns...eternal comfort and joy or separation and anguish...either way, that's not going to be the corporial decision you'll be rehashing!
I refer back to my original point: the question is flawed since it assumes an either...or situation, which this is not; if it were, it would negate itself.
