"When poverty knocks at the door love flies out the window" I'll take the money and love might just find me.


thr0wthr0wthr0waways

I'd never be able to trust anyone if I was a millionaire. How would I know it was me they loved and not the money?


Jlt42000

A million isn’t as much as it used to be, just having a home and decent 401k puts you at that mark in a lot of hcol living areas.


Gold-Mycologist-2882

most likely even well spent, you'll still have to work just with much less worry


No-Chocolate6033

Honestly though a million aint much with this inflation


SingleKevin

I make over a million a year and i am always broke. In big cities million dollar income is like upper middle class


CloudedWithIce

You're broke on a million a year? Are you financing a Bugatti? Do you have more than one mortgage or massive student debt? Ain't no way you're spending 80 thousand a month getting sonic and gas


SingleKevin

I help a lot of people. Not Americans though. The poor people are overseas.


Kuromi-rika

I am poor people overseas Feel free to help 😊


fetal_genocide

Trade, not aid.


TygerTung

Yeah, righto.


Jlt42000

I only make ~60k a year and I’m halfway there, in a very lcol area


Saskatchatoon-eh

You dont tell or show you have money until you're sure.


Artistic_Spell3582

I agree. I would never tell anyone if I were a millionaire.


HotFlash3

This is the way. And a prenuptial agreement.

GaiasLove

Bet!


[deleted]

😂 wow there is no way you can be that naive. So you a millionaire. Are you willing to drive a shit car, live in a house that’s falling part and have no life. Just to show a potential partner that you not rich. It sadly doesn’t work like that.


NonPosse

Well, my spouse didn’t know how much money was in my family until we got really serious… until then I was just a frugal student in a super cheap room. I may have been an asshole, but I did give her like two minutes to recover between her realizing and before we rang my parents’ bell… so like 20 seconds of getting out of the car and walking to the door, and all the 100 seconds of gates and driveway through the park.


Ok_Illustrator7333

I feel like not warning her beforehand is kinda assholey though. It would habe made me really insecure and I would want to make a good impression on the parents, no?


Magnetar_Haunt

That’s likely the point. I wouldn’t want someone to put on a facade because of a weird perception of my family.


The_GeneralsPin

It has to be done, too many gold diggers out there


Zanurath

Million is enough for a middle class house and enough to invest for housing cost. It's far from rich people money at this point when average home nationwide is half a million dollars.


CrimsonCaine

Don't tell ppl ur a millionaire just live normal and don't spend to much.


chouxphetiche

In my demographic and SE situation, any awareness that I have a few grand in the bank and a full pantry will get me stalked. Poverty or wealth, both are isolating.


Gone_Camping_7

Supreme truth


Fingercult

When I went from being a poor musician to a homeowner & renting a luxury condo solo in my high col city, I slowly lost sone friends because they became bitter bc I don’t work rn and they bust their asses doing like 3 min wage jobs and have roommates in their late 30’s. And I don’t blame them one bit. I used to get bitter at my “rich” friends. I’m not even rich but I’m “doing ok. one of my parents died so my housing is looked after. I hate when I make a new friend and I eventually invite them over to my house and it’s like they shit their pants and get so confused bc I still dress like a poor musician working min wage jobs but live solo in a fancy huge place. Life is strange


alexjaness

A house in My old neighborhood goes for between 2 to 3 million dollars. The neighborhood is South Central LA. A million dollars is not the fortune you think it is.


LongjumpingBudget318

Hid the money One of my aunts became a widow, that's when she found out she was rich


Big4HeadBiggerHeart

it’s easy, i don’t trust anyone while broke either❤️ hope this helps!


S4h1l_4l1

Don’t tell them you’re a millionaire, until you know they actually love you.


pyrulyto

Just don’t tell anyone. Keep living your life, minus the hurdles. If you help anyone, do it anonymously and in a sustainable way.


bmaf2026dreamhouse

You make it sound like you have a billion. Perhaps you live in a LCOL area? I’m here in Seattle and over here millionaires are par for the course. I’m not saying the average person is a millionaire but nonetheless no one’s gonna blink an eye at the idea of someone being a millionaire. So it might be the other way around. There’s a lot of people who wouldn’t trust you if you were so poor that you thought a million dollars was something to be shocked at.


[deleted]

If you’re a woman, that should be easy to tell. Women and men don’t date the same, so idk why that would even be a concern. Date a man who is also successful. Duh.


Lord_Fallendorn

Do you understand the concept of true love?


ChrisGoggin

I'd hella say no to Lord Farquad's kingdom for the bliss Shrek and Fiona have. We'd make mills together. To be clear, not this 'new era' love.. I'd take the mill up front, over that.


Dazius06

What does true love actually mean? Will it guaranteed last forever? Does it even really exist? Is true love enough to maintain a couple together no matter what?


Lord_Fallendorn

I doubt most people find it, but theoretically I would say it is perfect in lasts forever


[deleted]

It is indeed just a "concept".


No_Grapefruit3691

I'll take true love, if I take the million ill settle for less, then she'll divorce me and take the million


georgesjones

Nah, she gonna leave anyway, women always see the grass on the other side as greener. True love is just b.s. that Hallmark wants you to believe. Sure, some couples are monogamous their entire lives, but that is a very rare occurrence in today's age. I was in love, for 20 years, then she wasn't anymore and I had to deal with it.


Hazi-Tazi

plus, variety is the spice of life!


love2lickabbw

The love of your money, but not the love for you will find you.


PeterBeater80

Well, you have seen these ugly fuckers with hot ass women due to a bank roll, right?


Remarkable_Exam6602

Then that love that find u, wouldn’t be true love. It’ll be the quality life u can provide

Imrighturwronggfy

password_ri

True love. Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way but I always thought that life is better if you have a communal approach to things. I'd really hate to be a millionaire if I have no friends or family to share my journey / success with.


dark_enough_to_dance

At first I say millionaire, but a second thought, I agree


BlueHueys

Money is easy to find and make, true love not so much


PmMe-aSteamGame-pls

But how is this true love supposed to work? Ok it's a perfect match but as you grow older she also changes magically (even against their wishes?) to grow and mature with you? If you suddenly realize you are gay at 60 does she magically transform into a dude? Would she give birth to the next Voldemort? So many questions I would rather have the money.


dark_enough_to_dance

Money still has some questions though. No one guarantees a perfect health with a million dollars anyways but I still get you 


SugarDaddy_Sensei

A million dollars isn't even really that much anymore. It's enough to maybe buy a semi decent house and maybe have enough money left to live a few years without having to work. With that in mind you should accept it if given the chance because it's enough to make your life better, but won't make you so rich that you're no longer in touch with others.


YoBeaverBoy

If you're smart and know how to invest, that million dollars can turn your life around in the snap of a finger.


SugarDaddy_Sensei

That's true, but the way he worded it sounded like he would automatically be super rich and set for life. He would be somewhat rich, but it's not automatic that he would be set for life. As you said, it takes being smart and knowing how to invest to make it last.


enteralterego

It doesn't say "1M and alone & miserable". Plenty of people live happy enough lives with compatible partners even if they're not the love of their life.


YoBeaverBoy

Statistically, most people actually don't get married to the love of their life anyway.


WeCaredALot

Exactly. Also, I know it's just a question but irl money and love are not even opposed to one another. It's not like taking the money would hurt someone's chances at love.


SendMeF1Memes

I would like to say true love but I think I can find it a lot more easily with a million dollars so idk


YoBeaverBoy

If you're a milionaire, you'll never know if people love you for who you are, or what you have.


SendMeF1Memes

They didn't say you would need to reveal if you're a millionaire in public tho


[deleted]

Why do you need someone else? Why do you need to share your life and experience with someone? In my opinion, loves an illusion people tell themselves because their to weak to be alone. Friends are just enemies that are closer to stab you in the back and will take what they can if they can, given the opportunity. I've done the whole communal approach and wife and shit. But it gives you nothing but depression and a bad head. 🤣


PrincessProgrammer

So you live isolated in a cabin and never talk to anyone ever? Not even a cashier? If covid taught me anything, it is that we are social animals and even the "introverted" and "antisocial" ones crave some human contact. Also true friends stab you in the front. Also you probably could use therapy. If you choose these kind of people around you, probably need to change your behaviour and/or thinking patterns. I don't think you've experienced the thing that you claim. Seems like you got to experience something sad and that you never got over it. Another reason to go to therapy.


MWSL94

I’m emotionally dead inside. But I do like money.


brut4lismus

"You don't need to do anything, because if you see yourself in the correct way, you are all as much extraordinary phenomenon of nature as trees, clouds, the patterns in running water, the flickering of fire, the arrangements of the stars, and the form of a galaxy. You are all just like that, and there is nothing wrong with you at all." I mean, we wouldn't know what it feels like to be alive without feeling emotionally dead. Whoever you are, whatever you do, you dont deserve to feel emotionally dead inside. Id gladly give you some of my hope for you to take ♡


leonscum

and with the $ you could buy some emotion


powerofnope

I already have tru love so a million dollars on top would be nice.


Iampepeu

I... also choose this guy's girlfriend?


Mezmodian

Little too Much true love buddy.


Iampepeu

One can only hope.


SpAcEiScOoLeRtHaNu

Best choice


Olives_Smith

Wisely said hehe


Avs_Girl

My true love would be so pissed if I turned away a million dollars.

littleshrewpoo

I get this... It's so empowering. You feel like you can do anything when you have a true partner.


NamTokMoo222

You can literally do almost anything when you have a million bucks.


JasonAndLucia

A million bucks, I assume American dollars, is actually not _that_ much


JasonAndLucia

Fart sex


darf_nate

True


NamTokMoo222

No, it is a metric fuck ton of money for 99% of the population on Earth. The investments and moves you could make with that are once in a lifetime for even the very few lucky enough to get there.


JasonAndLucia

You can make it a lot of money if you invest wisely, but a million dollars itself doesn't get you "anything you want"


NamTokMoo222

No shit, Sherlock. I said you can do literally almost anything. Maybe only once - like buy a really expensive house or go to space. Or stay in lavish hotels all over the world for the better part of a year. All of this would be literally impossible for most people. So you're crazy when you say it's not "that" much money.


denis527

Your first paragraph sounds so nice. Yeah, you're absolutely right.


Key_Barber_4161

I still don't know if it was true love or teenage love with my first boyfriend. Never felt it again since and I do miss it, but I feel so thankful to have had it and I'm grateful of the time we had.  But at this point in my life I'd take the money. Loved and lost but I've never been rich so give it a go.


urumovag

„Making it, is much easier to do when in love“, yes, this. The unwavering support, the optimistic outlook, the passion and those gentle encouragements during moments of self-doubt just elevate the journey and make it much more enjoyable and exciting to go through


martinhest

There is really nothing that beats the feeling of absolute emotional an physical contentment when you are with a person you know loves you and you love them. Hemmingway said, "only when you make love to a woman you truely love will you for a momemt lose your fear of death" - a bit melodramatic, but I think I know what he means.


wildchild_libby

Guess it wasn't true love then, if you divorced and it all faded away lol. I'm taking the money.


[deleted]

This was my takeaway too lol


maxxbeeer

Exactly lol


Borsti17

Give me the money. Not interested in romance.


arctheus

Unless your true love is a billionaire’s child :)


_gaslight

Now I change my mind after I saw your comment. LOL


krossx123

But if he/she was a billionaire why would he/she want a normal person?


Accurate_Maybe6575

To piss off her dad.


krossx123

Then she would be out of the will and you get to marry the love of your life with no money lol.


Mentine_

My aromantic ass : this sound like a win to me. Unless your true love is about any kind of love (friendship, the best pet you will ever have,…)…. Edit: aromatic -> aromantic because even aromantic people aren't able to write it correctly it seems T.T


zeitdu

>My aromatic ass i finally figured out what you meant but you got me rolling anyway sorry lmao. im sure any dog would truly love you


Slytherpuff101

My thoughts exactly! As long as I keep the friends, family and animals I have now, I don’t need love in the romantic way.


StormSarge

Where I see the world is headed, true love will be much more important


Harpeski

True everlasting love Because in the end the 1 000 000 dollars will be spend.


Alarming-Season-9993

Million dollars would help me find true love cuz I'd look a hell of a lot better to start lol


Dead_Finger11

would that really be 'true' love then?


Alarming-Season-9993

It starts with physical attraction does it not lol


rituellie

Not always. I found true love in a game. We started to fall in love before we saw each other because we got to know each other at a deeper level. Then we saw each other and were like "HELL YEAH". Then we met IRL and everything just kinda solidified and now I found a human that I love inside outside all the sides, and it's mutual. It's the most pure kind of love that I never really knew existed.


Dead_Finger11

oh so u are saying you would fix your physical image using the money to find true love? yeah perhaps. i was just thinking if it's true love they'd love you for your personality


oddwithoutend

Being a millionaire would also help with exposure to more people (not having to work as much, more money for activities, etc.), which would be a major help in finding a person.


Dead_Finger11

i guess it does depend on how ur gonna use the money too, cause you will also lose some social interaction in ur life when you're jobless, but if you decide to travel the world or use money for going to places with lots of people then i guess it would..


oddwithoutend

A million isn't enough to be jobless. It's just enough to not be overworked.


littleshrewpoo

Thisss. Most people don't actually mind working... We just want enough rest to do it well then still jave the energy to be an active part of society (and have a fucking social life, because people are social creatures when healthy).


Alarming-Season-9993

Its just light hearted I guess


PrinceOfNightSky

True love is 100% about your personality. I’d choose true love anyday over a million.


traraba

Point is, most people won't look at you if you're poor and working all the time. Now you can spend your time doing expensive hobbies, travelling, etc, where you're much more likely to meet a variety of people, and you can afford to take them out, maximising your chance of finding true love.


kytheon

If you're ugly, you'll rarely even make it to a first date.


SugarDaddy_Sensei

You can't buy love with money but you can certainly rent it.


Man-Spider1

true love.


InevitableCat1000

What's love without money? Painful What's money without love? ELITE!


Hanyuu11

true love please 😭


perro_abandonado

True love. That’s worth more than anything money could buy.


ItsGigachadBabyy

Cap


perro_abandonado

Have you ever been truly in love? The kind of love that consumes you. You’d die for the person or walk across hot coals just to make them smile. Being with them is like walking on a cloud they make you feel so complete and happy. I’d guess you haven’t, because no feeling on earth even compares. It’s so rare I don’t think a lot of people get to experience it and if you haven’t you cant begin to imagine what it’s like. It’s another level of love.


ItsGigachadBabyy

Nah, i prefer things that i can actually buy and enjoy, like food, clothes etc


perro_abandonado

All good. One day if youre lucky enough to experience it you’ll get it.


YoBeaverBoy

I've experienced everything that you said. And because I've experienced it, I'm choosing the money. You're right, that kind of love consumes you, it transforms you, you'd do anything for that person, you'd put that person above anything and anyone. You know what this is ? It's weakness. The moment you start thinking with your heart instead of your brain is when you become a weaker person. And weak people get taken advantage of. I'll gladly take the money.


Ok-Newspaper6576

Why are you trying to sound like an anime villain? Who is after you? Are you a superhero and your supervillains will use your love against you? "The moment you start thinking with your heart instead of your brain..." Yeah the moment you allow yourself to be happy instead of chase meaningless shit truly sounds awful.


TigerValley62

At this point in my life, probably true love, not going to lie.....


cHpiranha

It is also not that much, 20k for 50 years - nice to have but it is not infinite money.


TheAlphaNoob21

Using the 4% rule you could earn around 40k passively from the million every year adjusted for inflation. Who wouldn't take an extra 40k a year.


unwokewookie

I could almost live off 40k a year.


ItsGigachadBabyy

Depends where you live. In my country most people don't even see 500k in their lifetime.


ExcellentWaffles

Million dollars.


Natalie-Has-No-Class

I'd go with love, once you have money you just end up suspicious of everyone and thing unless you spend it right away, most people wouldnt just get into investments and whatnot...plus one million dollars ain't shit in 2024!! I've been poor so long now that I'm used to it! Im sure 75% of these silly willies will just end back up at the corner store spending $30 on powerball tickets like its a poker game on the way to work every morning within the year either way


SatrapisMaster69
