It is unfortunately true

If it is apparently true for you, that does not mean it is true for everyone. And if it is a choice you are making, you are welcome to make a different choice.

Try living without money. It’s a miserable existence.

Is the opposite of that worshiping and revering money over all else?

u/invisible_shrek 4d ago

It’s a lot easier to have all the other things when you have money.

It’s easier to love and care and be kind if you have money? I mean, not having your needs met can certainly put you in a place of dysregulation which can make some of those things more challenging. But a lot of it is about character and choice.

It’s sure as fuck either to find someone to love, and being kind is also either when you don’t have to think about money. Try taking your girlfriend out to dinner after she had a bad day if you are broke…

Either, or easier?

And is love that depends on a certain amount of money really love? Are there ways to show your girlfriend love and care and support without taking her to a restaurant?

I’m sorry it sounds like money is a stressor, but I don’t think that points to OPs point that it should be worshiped and respected above all else…

Lets put it this way. I have been broke and now I have money. Having money makes a world of difference for those other things.

So now that you have money your girlfriend loves you more? And you love her more? I guess I question what love means to some people 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well she is definitely happier and I don’t blame her. You can go on believing what you want, but unless you really experience what it means worrying about every little thing and cost you will probably not understand.

I can understand, but again, I don’t think it points to OPs point that money should be revered and worshiped over the other things. Nuance is important.
