is the safeguard of love. The time when one has love, he may not want money, and even has a thought that there is nothing more important than love, including money. But such a sort of feeling will just keep for a short time because in everyone’s life there are a plenty of things need to be done and almost all the things must be achieved with the help of money. If two people have gotten married, while they don’t have the money which is necessary to support a family, how about their love? They must have the material condition to survive, they will have baby in the future, and then how can they give their child a normal life? How can they give the money the child needs in school? Meanwhile, they must give some money to their parents, who are too old to work, to support their life. If they don’t have enough money, how can they do all the things, which are the basis for living? And how can they give their lover a better life? Without money, there is no possibility for anyone to support a family, not mention to be in love with someone for a long time. Two people, falling in love with each other, whatever they intend to marry or not, must do something to keep their love. They may go to the cinema together, go traveling abroad for a holiday, buy each other a gift occasionally, etc. And after they have gotten marred, they must not only cost money for their love, but also spend a large amount of money to have a normal family life. In this case, money is the most important thing in one’s life, and love is based on money inevitably. For every one of human beings, only if one wants to survive one more day, he must have much more money.
