1. Would you date or marry someone just for money? What would be the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?

No. Advantages are that you're safe, you get what you want, etc. Disadvantages are that you have nowhere to go if the money gets screwed over, and you're not as happy as you could be.

2. What defines a person's social class today?

Money, basically. You shallow bastards.

Would you date or marry someone below your own social class?

Depends on how far. The extremities = no.

What would be you parent's reaction?

They'd agree.

How would you or your parent be different if the person was above your social class?

I'd start relying on stuff more, and my parents would be worried.

3. Can money really buy happiness?

Hell no.

4. Is the love of money really the root of all evil?

No. The root of all evil is revenge.

5. How might people who are born into wealth compare and contrast to those who acquired their wealth overnight?

Born into wealth don't know the process.
Those who acquired wealth know what they can do.
Both are effing rich.

1. Would you date or marry someone just for money? What would be the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?
No, it's just plain wrong. Advantages?? Well, you can buy practically anything you want. The down-side to this would be that you may be classified as a golddigger.

2. What defines a person's social class today?
Definately their job, money, you get the point.

Would you date or marry someone below your own social class?
Depends on the person, I guess.

What would be you parent's reaction?
If I dated/ married someone below my social class? Horrified.

How would you or your parent be different if the person was above your social class?
I couldn't care less and they'd be more open about it.

3. Can money really buy happiness?
In today's society... maybe. Then again it depends on whether the people involved are materialistic people or not.

4. Is the love of money really the root of all evil?
Yes, the heart of greed.

5. How might people who are born into wealth compare and contrast to those who acquired their wealth overnight?
People born into wealth are depicted as those who sometimes take it for granted and those who acquired it overnight would tend to appreciate it more.

1. Would you date or marry someone just for money? What would be the advantages and disadvantages of doing this?

I highly doubt I would. (It would be a plus though if the guy I fell in love with was rich though laugh.gif But definitely not THE reason I would go out with them.) Advantages would be you get to mooch all his money, live in luxury, and not worry about paying the bills or whatnots. Disadvantages are that I might become too lazy, my future children might become extra spoiled and dependent, and my significant other may be an arrogant, pompous man. sleep.gif

2. What defines a person's social class today?
Mostly their money and assets.

Would you date or marry someone below your own social class?
As long as he isn't a hobo, being chased by the mafia for money, or a gold digger, then I think I don't mind if I truly loved him.

What would be you parent's reaction?
If I dated someone from a lower class? My Mom might nag, but if the person I love was truly a good person, then my Mom wouldn't mind.

How would you or your parent be different if the person was above your social class?
I think my Mom would probably still nag about if this is really what I want to do, but probably less than if the person was "below" my social status. (But I'm a middle class person as well... hard to find someone "lower" status then me? XD)

3. Can money really buy happiness?
You can buy temporary happiness with money, in terms of materialistic things. But not everything that causes happiness can be bought with money.

4. Is the love of money really the root of all evil?
Sort of. But more so it's greed.

5. How might people who are born into wealth compare and contrast to those who acquired their wealth overnight?
Uhhh.... acquired it over night?? Well ok. People who are born into wealth most of the times, I would think, take it for granted and don't really realize how lucky they are compared to the rest of the middle class and others in poverty who have it hard. As for people who suddenly get money over night, they are usually more appreciative of their fortune; however some may spend and save it wisely, while some foolish people might squander it away on materialistic things too quickly.
