    Default What would you give up?


    For financial security?

    I read a study recently on how much money it would take to "Marry for the money". Almost everyone that was asked had 7 figures as a requirement. This got me wondering, what would a person concede in a mate if they were assured of never having to worry about money again? Would you do without the physical appearance? Sex? What if they were a slob? I mean that if other needs were met, if you only had to remove one thing. Say you met someone that met all your wanted criteria save one. Which would you concede if that person was financially well off? (Assuming of course that money isn't one of your criteria to start with) For example, you meet someone that you hit it off with, have lots of fun, great personality, everything seems great, except he or she has one thing that you really just do not like. Maybe that person has an annoying habit or is greatly overweight. Or maybe they are physically what you want, but they have no sense of humor or their sex drive is opposite from yours or is dumb as a brick. You get the picture. What one relationship characteristic would you trade and live without forever, for financial security? Understand, this is prerequisite on being a new relationship. Love doesn't factor into this equation at this point, but this lack of a particular quality may result in love not happening.

    No matter what attracted to you in the first place, you will all ways wonder if you could have done better after you have commited. It don't matter how much love there is. At least this has been my own personal experience. I would suppose it is other's as well considering how much infidelity there is in the world. How commited are you willing to get so you will not yeild to temptation later on???

    You don't get something for nothing. Last time I got something for nothing took 7 trips to the doctor's office to get rid of the "something for nothing". Repeat here.
