writes:Is money important? my mum says i should marry someone only for money, and basically im confused because my dad thinks the total opposite(that you should marry for love and money dosn't matter, and you should do anything you want to do and be who ever you want to be). my dad was in the war and is a manic depressive and has been in and out of rehab. my mum always made out he was a bad person and he did alot of bad things (drugs ect) but im beginning to think she is a bad person i mean all she cares about is money. I do alot of modeling and she always trys to push me in my career but now im beginnig to think its because of money she is hoping to get. she pretends to be a nice person but uses people for money. do you think money is the most imporant thing? - or do you think she isnt a nice person? i dont know because money is kinda imporant but part of me just wants to travel the world and not give a damn about it all because its so much pressure. what do you think??

I'm with your dad on this one too, money is needed to be comfortable and do the things you enjoy, but love is definately more important. Once the money runs out, what then? You'll be left with nothing but a bitter marriage.

 Money provides security but it doesn't provide love. It will provide new and interesting friends, however. But those friends will disappear when the money runs out.
Love's better, but money definitely helps.

Personally if I had to choose between being a nice person with no money or a horrible person with riches I would choose the 1st option. Marry for love- after all, you can both work and earn money and have a secure relationship! Good luck!

 Love doesnt always last either and even if you love some one money issues can be a cause for divorce. I think it depends on your circumstances.I believe in devotion and duty when you marry some one its your duty to look out for there best intrest. i dont think it matters what you marry for it comes down to the type of person you are, theres people that marry for money that have been togather for decades, and people that marry for love that didnt last a year.If you marry for money you still owe it to your husband to stick by your vows support him and stick by him and even tend to his sexual needs which may be difficult if your not attracted to some one. I dont think theres a rte or wrong choice it comes down to what you feel you can live with

 Id ask your mom why she married your dad! Your mom gave you the most ignorant, shallow and immature advice anyone could ever give a daughter.Money is nice, but if not at the expense of happiness, money alone does not bring it. Your mom sounds like a real manipulative, toxic woman. Id get away from her and go it alone on your career.

 You should want to be with someone because you are attracted to them, you love them, they make you feel special and not because they are wealthy.... wealth is just a bonus but I can take it or leave it!Listen to your dad because he is spot on!!!
