Can money buy love? I have made a post similar to this before, but back then it was based on happiness. In this case, we would be talking about romantic love. Because if there is one thing that we all are sure about, it is the only kind of love that is up for sale. At least it is the one that is most popular these days. The sad truth is that these days, we keep seeing more and more proof that as long as you have the right price, love is up for grabs. We see people going to great lengths just to get someone to marry them, all because they have money. There will be people that will be miserable in their marriages, but because they enjoy an abundant cash flow, they would never leave. Normally, money is not meant to be able to buy love. After all, love can’t be quantified, it is not a solid matter that can be weighed on a scale and have a price attached to it. Love is meant to come from a deep place that is beyond the influence of money so that no matter what the financial status is, it would still be firm and unshaken. But then since the advent of money, a lot of things have changed drastically. Seeing as the kind of life one lived was determined by the amount of money one could make on a regular basis, money became ingrained into our daily life, and eventually into our love life. And now, I just have to say it, love without money is impossible. Unless the person is your mother or father. Like I said, money is extremely important in our day-to-day life, when you have the money you are able to take care of the basic things in life. Things like accommodation, feeding, and clothing would not be a problem for you. But only when you have the money. When you don’t have it, things will not look so bright. And one might think, what plans can a person that has not taken care of his feeding possibly have for love? And they will most likely be right, because if you are indeed having a problem raising enough money for your daily feeding, then you have no business falling in love. Because as beautiful as love is, it comes with a lot of bills. Whether you like it or not. You do not have to be rich or be rolling in excess dough, but you definitely need to have enough to take care of yourself comfortably before you can consider hooking up with someone else. There was a sweet time when that was the only requirement for love, but these days the game has been upped. Way up through the roof! Now, money is now a prerequisite for love. And everyone wants you to just be giving out piles of it all because you are in love. As a guy, you are judged based on the properties you have, not minding if these properties are assets are liabilities. They judge based on your car, phone, house, and what have you. The money is very important and as long as you have it and you are willing to part with it, then you will definitely get all the love that you are after. So, you will basically take care of yourself and the other person, incurring more responsibilities all in the name of being in love, and most of the time the other does not really do much. But then, if you have to pay so much for a person to be in love with you, then is it truly love? Or are you just paying for their attention and their bodies? Because as long as you are using money to sustain it, then the moment it is gone, so will the love. Many people are just so focused on the money that they will pretend for as long as possible so that they can get that which they want. And then, here in my country, as the economic situation keeps on getting worse, people are getting even more reasons to ask for money. Money now is being used to show love. After all, if you love me you must be willing to transfer. It is tiring indeed. So, what am I saying? Money cannot buy you true love, because anything that you had to pay for was definitely not given from the heart. Note that money is indeed important in all relationships, especially romantic ones, but it should not be the yardstick on which the relationship is judged. You do not rate a person’s love and interest based on the amount they send to your bank account. When it is paid for, it is definitely fake, because it would not stand the test of time and once they get an offer from someone with a higher rate, they dump you immediately. It is a cruel world indeed, and we all just have to be careful the way we mingle out there. There are those who would want to use love and money to oppress others, make us feel bad about our lives and all, but you are never to give in. you do not know what their life truly is like, you only see what they choose to show you and you cannot refute it. Just keep on working hard and doing your thing, soon when you are ready it will all come to you. Because as long as you are not ready financially, then you should not be in a relationship at all. And on that note, I guess you already know the answer to the question I asked at the beginning of this post. Money can’t buy true love, but it can buy you the feeling. And that is worse because it can leave in the blink of an eye. Like a puff of smoke, after a while, you would not even see traces that it had been there. That is why it is that in whatever you do, make sure you take good care of yourself because it is only then you will be ready for the responsibilities that being in love entails. Thank you for reading, till we meet in the next post. This post was inspired by the first topic for this week which is Money For Love. Feel free to take part. Borderimage credit: @deimage.

Every girl would like to marry a rich husband. But what divides girls into two groups is this question – do you first think of money and then love, or vice versa.
Honestly, I believe its what comes first that is considered. You can decide to give someone a chance because they have money.
Thank you for reading.
someone who says love to you and he demands that you give everything then you can be sure that someone is blackmailing you, sooner or later you will become poor because of fake love.
as has been said, love is something natural, and will be happy forever with unconditional love.
awesome post buddy
One of the most dangerous things to give a person is fake love. It kills.
Thank you for reading.
Yeah agreed
This topic is similar to a person who wants to join hive because he sees there is money in it. The truth is if the person has tasted some money from the platform for a while, he or she would be motivated to continue grinding. He would claim to love the site but not a genuine one because once there is no money, he would be demotivated and quit.
This is how money and love is. As a girl, if your purpose of loving a guy is because of his money, though it is good and that could make you happy for a while and one would think she loves him but no, once the flow of cash stops, she will leave immediately for the next available guy.
Yeah...
When the major motivation is money, the lack of it would be the end of that endeavor.
The same with love.
Thank you for reading.

When one has good financial standing, and it is evident, it can be quite a hassle to find people that will truly love you for you, rather than for what it is that you own. You will find people pretending to admire you when, in fact, they seek to gain your favour and do their bidding.
In a country like ours, Nigeria, it has now become a top prerequisite for some certain types of individuals that their partner should have a sufficient abundance of wealth to remain in that relationship. This is quite sad, as people are not willing to go through thick and thin with their partners so as to foster a genuine bond that will hold the relationship together. Rather, they'd prefer to stick with the fair weather alone.
However, I do not imply that one must live a life of low financial standards in the hope of finding the "one" that will truly love them. On the contrary, it is important to have good financial standing as this will not only be better for one's lifestyle, but it will go a long way towards making loving the right person easy. They say, " Love is sweet, but sweeter with money."
Yeah...
The emphasis that has now been placed on money these days is just simply alarming. But it is what it is, this is what we met and we are just going with it.
Thank you for reading.
Money can't buy happiness but it's a requirement also to be happy. Without money you can't be happy.
Hehe...
It is already causing problems. We all should try our best to make sure we are not at thebrevueving end of it all.
Thank you for reading.
Ahh...
