A female reader, anonymous, writes (22 January 2009):

Im a single parent too, back on my own, and prefer to stay that way than be owned, and have to show my gratitude over and over, when i know in my pure heart how thankful i am, and have shown it. Some people like me know the value of money, and appreciate it when we dont have it. but love for me means so much more, its the little things that count.

Isn't this too obvious to even be a real question? Might as well be headed 'Are you pure of heart or shallow and heartless?'

Love always, as Mother Theresa once quoted:

"Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for,for being wanted,for having someone to call their own"

A male reader, NITRAM BLUE Philippines +, writes (19 January 2009):

NITRAM BLUE agony auntLove or money – one of the most difficult choices a woman has to make, when given a choice. For a man, it would be easy – money because money never made us happy. The more we have it, the more we want it.

It would be an interesting question if it was “Who will you choose to marry – a poor man with love or a rich man who you do not love?”

A long time ago, my aunt (father side) married at 24, to a very rich man aged 65. She knew that she is marrying for money and her family really could use some of it. After five years, she became a drug addict and had extra marital relations with other men. Three years later, the patience of the very rich old man came to an end and kicked her out of his house. After two years, his husband died. Her whereabouts are unknown she lives in destitute.

Another cousin married at 24 to a moderately rich man aged 55, a few years ago. The man is crippled but that wasn’t a problem to have 5 children. So far there are no marital problems. Maybe she didn’t love his money even though the husband is moneyed.

Maybe money is just an add-on and has nothing to do with having a successful relationship.

Anna Nicole Smith, was an American model, sex symbol, actress and television personality. She first gained popularity in Playboy, becoming the 1993 Playmate of the Year. Born and raised in Texas, Smith dropped out of high school and was married at the age of 17. While performing at Gigi's, a Houston strip club, in 1991, Smith met elderly oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall and they began a relationship. During their two-year relationship, he reportedly lavished gifts on her and asked her to marry him several times. She divorced her husband Billy in 1993, in Houston. In 1994, Smith, 26, and Marshall, 89, married in Houston. This resulted in a great deal of gossip about her marrying him for his money. Though she reportedly never lived with him, Smith maintained that she loved her husband, and age did not matter to her. Thirteen months after his marriage to Smith, Marshall died in 1995, in Houston. Anna Nicole Smith died in 2007, she never saw if she will be awarded the ½ share in J. Howard Marshall’s estate estimated at $ 500 M. The case is still pending in the US Circuit Courts.

Perhaps Anna Nicole Smith got tired of strip dancing, adored the lavish gifts and repeated pleas of J. Howard Marshall, she finally loved the old man despite of the age gap of 63 years old!

If you are blessed with beauty, isn’t it lucky for you when that opportunity comes along?

The chance of having a successful relationship with a moneyed wrinkled old man is equally the same with a poor handsome young man. And the old man will give less problems than a younger man because he have seen it all in his lifetime.

A female reader, Fee-Fee United Kingdom +, writes (19 January 2009):

Fee-Fee agony auntSometimes I have been really angry with my boyfriend, and would choose money over ever being in love again.

Other times, I think I could survive even the roughest time with nothing but fluff in my bank account providing I had my boyfriend's love to support me.

Bottom line is, money comes and goes, but if love is meant to be, it never ends :o)

Oh I'm so corny, going to go and wash my mouth out!!!
