Hi Friends,
Source
I hope I didn't confuse you with the title of my blog here, well, I am sorry if I really did. But that is actual feeling of me if someone asks me to chose One between Two of Love/Family and Money.
I would say these 2 topics of discussion are like 2 eyes for any man/woman because, both are equally important for any of us is what I feel.
If I have to put it in some other perspective, it's like 2 faces of a coin where One face can't live without the existence of the other and vice versa.
No doubt, we all work hard for earning money and we may hear complaints from our loved Ones that, we are not providing time to them.
But, why would someone work day and night without giving more time to family? Because everyone wants to see their family happy, wants to provide good education to their kids, wants them to wear nice clothes and wants their elders and married One to be happy and live peacefully.
When is this possible? When we have enough money.
So, it's like to gain something, we have to loose something and in this case, to gain money to keep our family happy, we have to lose some time which the family members wants us to give.

As the above picture says, the family's happiness is what the bread earning man/woman wants to see and that will be possible when he/she ensures there is enough earning to keep those faces always happy.
We may say, can't we live happily without earning much and be happy with what we have? Well, might be possible in many cases, but, we live in an era where there is always comparison and obviously there will be comparisons with our family members with what they see and even though they might not express the feelings openly just because they don't want to disappoint other person or they don't want to pressurize the bread earner, but definitely there will be that desire to be like other people.
So, it's like interdependent, family's happiness depends on money and we earn money just to keep the family happy and fulfill the needs of the family.

Will it be enough that One or Two family members keeps earning and others keeps enjoying by spending money and doesn't care about the value of it?
Well, there is no point in earning if the money is not being put into good use and is spent like anything and if this continues, the bread earner will see no point in the efforts he spends in earning the money.
My father always says, education is the best investment which should empower anyone and make them efficient to live a happy life by putting their education into good use and earn money for the living.
As the picture above says, the good use of education is also lies in making someone to spend the money wisely and keep saving something for the future use, so that, we don't have to stretch our hands to ask money to someone or from the financial institutions unless it's verymuch necessory.

Yes, it's a balancing act as for as money vs love topic is concerned as both are interlinked and we as humans always try to do a balancing act and that's how the life goes on with hopes of more betterment for family and hopes of earning more money for that betterment of family.
We just need to keep ourselves healthy to be able to be that hero for our family by showering all the love and ofcourse by earning money as well.
Why this topic of Love vs Money?
The September Inelo program gives us an opportunity to write about Monthly Prompts on different topics as shown below:

This Love vs Money is part of day 18 where the topic is mentioned as Security or Love: Financial security or endless love and this topic itself is making me confused as these 2 things are interlinked.
Inspite of all this discussion, if we still have to select One among these 2 topics we are discussing, I would go with family/love against the money, because money is not everything, no doubt, it can buy things for us and will keep our families happy, but there are things that money can't buy as many say and that is peace of mind and that peace of mind will be when there is peace among family members and we can live without more money(I can't say we can live without money, we do need money for even basic things), but we can't live a happy life without peace in the family.
Do you agree with me?
Thanks and keep writing and have a great Saturday and weekend.
