love v. money
I am asking this question for a friend... Here is the scenario. Paris is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly smart. She had an ex-boyfriend who was a multi-billionaire and let her live the jet set life, bought her gorgeous items, and let her relax and ride horses, film festivals and hang out on yachts. However, even though she loved him very much, he was a very unstable person in terms of committment and threw her out one day. In the meantime she was accostomed to living the highlife and spend tens of thousands of dollars on credit cards and has hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans (Not kidding). In the last month she has met a very nice guy she knew from University who has always loved her. They speak on the phone every night even though he is an investment banker in another state, and there is serious potential for a committed good relationship and possibly marriage and kids. He's not as wealthy as the other however. Now the problem is the ex wants her back and has offered to pay off all her loans and credit cards but is not offering marriage or any serious committment other than going back to basically being a "kept woman". She has no place to live and all this debt. She's also used to living the high life and might not even be happy with the new guy. If she went with the new guy they might have financial troubles hanging over their heads for a very long time and who's to say it should even work out, but she might find true love. What to do? Live with a man,who you love but might not love or respect you as much adn would never marry you, for money and the high life or take a risk on love and being broke for life?

hey, well she may be used to living "the high life" but if your lving like that with a man that could possibly not even love you then that means nothing. what she needs is true love. bills are a part of life and she may struggle to pay them off. maybe her new love with help a little. but she needs to get out of that rich mans life. cait♥

Hi
To me the answer is simple....money is not love, and love is not money.
I guess it depends on what your friend wants out of life. Everyone struggles with bills and bills and bills...it's part of being grown up. Love is so much more important. You can have all the money in the world, but without someone you love and who loves you to share it with it's simply ungratifying.
To me the choice is obvious, but she needs to follow her heart...and hopefully she will be happy with her choice. Take care...and you are a great friend!!
