a new surveyce is at gen Z might be the
(00:43):
most practical generation. When it comes to romance, Nearly half
of people, when asked, said that they would take long
term financial security over falling in love. About a third
admit that they would even consider getting back together with
an X if that person had struck it. Rich Hella.
When it comes to income, ten percent of gen Z
women say that their dream partner makes over two hundred
(01:04):
grand a year. Well, most won't takiki. You just couldn't
hold that on two. Well, most of them settle for
less than eighty and forty six percent say that they
wouldn't date someone unemployed, no matter how attractive they are.
So here's my question, simple, very simple. Would you take
(01:26):
money or love? You can only have one you, and
don't I not only hear any confrom the question is well,
but but what about no? That's right? And then I
guess Part two of this is, would you write I'm
standing on business twice a day? Don't start? Would you
would you take an X back if they struck it rich?
(01:48):
So those are my two questions for you. Eight five, five,
five nine one three five And everyone's kind of nodding
their head. It's not that easy of a question to answer.
I'm taking money. I'm taking money over romantic lebanya because
you know, I can love myself in Bora Bora, in
an overwater bungalo. I can love myself several times. I
(02:10):
could wear myself out. Wow. Look, I'm just as a
person who's you know, been on my own for a
long time, you become very self reliant, and yeah, there
are moments when you're like, a companionship would be cool.
But then there are moments when I'm like, but I
you know, if you're tell me I'm rich, I'm not.
But then I could if I in this scenario, I
could say but that I'm rich, and then I could
(02:32):
go do something you know or I don't know, it
would go. There are other ways I think to find
happiness and fulfill yourself that don't require another human being.
I take the money and I'm sorry, but there's no X,
no X out there, not one that if they struck
it rich, I'd be like, great, sure, let's do it.
Because then it's just whatever issue caused that, you know,
the breakup, compounded by the fact that they now control
(02:55):
you with their money. So no, someone texted Mary for
make your own money. No. Next question is I rebuk
that whoever's although I'm not dating someone who doesn't have
a job, let's at least be stable. Yeah. No, Jason's
very offended by that.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yes, how dare you If you would have asked me, like,
I don't know, five to ten years ago, I would
have said, go for.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
The money, go for the money.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Go for the money. But now now that I'm finally
wearing Mike enough down to where he's showing little bits
of affection, I'm like, wait, it does feel nice to
be loved, you know. So now I'm eighteen years it
only took fourteen years for him to break his cold
ass heart, and you know. Now I'm like, oh, wait,
it does feel nice when he does little things.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So I don't know, it's hard that the money.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I mean, it's nice to feel like I guess like
there's always like a little you know, not if you
get into a hard situation.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
But I don't know. I was gonna say, you can't
pay your student loans off, and he pays all the bills. Yeah,
so imagine with it the money is coming in very
very handy. Yes, I think, Paulina, money or love, you
can only pick one.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I'd say money maybe at this point, yeah, I mean yeah,
like you know, a cost.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
To live, lives to cost? Does it does cost to cost?
I don't know, Kiky, you take the money because I
heard you said two hundred thousand and you just got
I mean you got a little excited. Yeah, man, I'll
say I'll take the money.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
I mean like you said, I can love really really
be in love in a G five Mercedes bands, like
I can really like the bench truck. Oh yeah, I
would love you so bad, you know, so like just.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
This imaginary thing because there's yeah, right, you're not loving anyone.
I would love you. It's hard to love broke and
I know he was taking she's taking love. I think
we have to ask the question. I think you can
take love. So so I'll either only ever have money
or love my entire life. That's the scenario. Okay, So
I will never experience love. See I knew somebody was
gonna try and like, but what about a little love?
(05:00):
And then it's for money. That's I'm standing on.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Business, which one is okay, So throughout my whole life,
then I would have.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
To choose love. See I knew, I'm like, you know
each other for a long time. Who knew? Is I
know rich people that are very sad but they're rich?
Is it Dale?
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yes, Gail?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, because D A I L. Is not a name anyway,
it's like I am. But the one time I don't
say it the way that it's written, it's going to
be like no, it's you know, from something you know,
and then then I'm like ignorant and sensitive is something
exactly anyway? So Hi, Hi, Gail? Not named Dale because
(05:38):
there isn't it because there's not a named Dale anyway,
Well there isn't Dale, but it wouldn't even be spelled
that way if there were. Okay, So please trying to say, girl.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
I'm shocked at your answer for it because you, of
all people like you make you make your own money yourself,
so it's painful to even sit across from Summer for
a two hour dinner that you're not into.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Now, Gail Dale, hold on a second, because because I
wouldn't want to be with someone else for their money.
I mean, I think this is love or money. I'm
assuming the necessaria of the money is mine, so I
don't need I don't need to fake the love for
the money. So if I if it's either be rich
and alone or be in love and not have any money,
(06:23):
I think I would rather be rich if I had
to choose, I think I'd rather be rich with money
because I feel like, yes, you would be lonely, but
there are other ways to fulfill yourself. I think as
a person who.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Doesn't, don't you're asking whether you should love for money
or love for love or marry for money or those
two options.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Well not part yeah. Now part two Gail was would
you go back to an X who won the lottery
or struck it rich? Now that I wouldn't do.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
No, Yeah, okay, they're back there for a reason.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That's right. We're on the same page because the problems
wouldn't get anybody. If I know one thing about going
back to an X, it almost never changes except now
they're rich, which means now whatever the issues are going
to be compounded because you're staying with them. It's like
you have to put up with it because they're rich.
So that's not going to reun it. Heyda Gail Dale,
thank you, Hey, love you by thanks for calling Illiana. Yes, hey,
(07:18):
how you doing?
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh my god, I love you guys so much. I
literally listen to this every day. Well, thank you so much.
We love you for that. Okay, So you got the
love or money and no other compromise. You either can
be in love or you have lots of money. What
do you choose?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I choose love, as somebody who has experienced and seen
like my grandma always chose money. And yeah she's had
always had money, and she's always been very financially well
and stable, but she's been miserable. And it's like and
you notice that, and you see that, and it's like, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Have this money, but you're alone.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
You're not doing anything with your money. You're not being happy,
Like I feel like you truly have to be happy
with yourself to be happy with only money. And I
feel like in this world, ain't nobody really that happy
with themselves.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
To just be okay with money. I will say Ileana peoples,
they use the word alone and it's always almost always
in a negative context, and I think it's maybe people
should learn to be alone. Sometimes you don't have to
be but it's like alone alone look like it's a
bad thing. Being alone is not inherently a bad thing.
But you're right if you hate yourself and your torture
(08:27):
with your own thoughts, and being alone is a bad thing.
But if you were rich, you could hire a therapist.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
And it's like, yeah, but it's like money can bring
you a lot of things, but money will never bring
you genuine love.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, I love. I could learn to love myself and
be I hear you though, thank you have a good day.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Thank you you guys to have a great week.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
But thank you everybody. I know, not everybody, most people
I know it's alone, alone, alone, like it's a bad
thing being alone. I think more people should be able
to be alone. And if you want a companion, that's fine.
But if you're able to be alone and then you're
able to function in a companionship, I think that's the
best of both worlds. A lot of people, we all
know them, they cannot be alone X that's a good point.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I think it's just the alone forever is just like
the yeah, you know, hard to think.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I like the rich forever. Jamie, how you doing, Good morning,
Good morning? How are you Jamie? So you got two choices?
Love or money? That's it? Gen Z picks money? What
do you pick.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Money?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
All day?
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I got my own money. I don't need your money.
We just need to make money together and travel and
live life.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Okay, fair enough. So you would be quote unquote I'm
gonna call it independent. You'd be independent, not alone. You'd
be on your own and rich. You would choose that absolutely. Okay,
there you have it, Thank you, Jamie. All right, love
you too. Hey, how you doing, tay? Hey? You take
that money.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Oh yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I didn't want to say.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
It was so funny because Whendella answered, she.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Was like, is this Hey, I call a way too much.
Call as much as you want.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
But yeah, I'm taking the money.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Do you know how much gas is?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Like, no, I'm familiar, like diapers are expensive, and no,
I'm taking the money.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Hold on a second, how did you make the if
you took the money? Was it like pay for love?
You said, wow, wow, Ty just paid to get knocked up.
But she's rich. She could buy the diaper. She'll be fine. Yes,
and then January comes.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Around and I'm even more rich when I touched her.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Wow, okay, fair enough, but wow, so is buying babies.
But she's rich, so it's fun. It'll be great. I
got it. I don't think guys lingle, but if you're rich,
a lot of things are possible. So thank you, Tay,
have a good day. Glad you. Let's do blogs and
