The simple truth is that there is no balance between love and money, unless you love money. You see, money is not something people generally love, where as love is a feeling you get about someone when you "love" them. We like to think that there is a balancing act, or a pie chart of some sort that can evenly distribute our love in this world appropriately among the things that are important to us, when really, we are more self delusional then any thing else. Why are we delusional? Because we are simply trying to change the way we feel about our lives by pretending that we can put everything of importance on a little scale and weigh them against each other in a way that will make sense of all the chaos.

I'm sorry to say, there is no sense to the chaos. Not a general, applicable sense at least. You are all crazy, like me, for wanting to change things that are inanimate simply because you want to feel better about your lives. Love is the root of all that we do and don't do in this world. Money is the world that we imagine will bring us more love in our lives. It's a most vicious cycle that if you can break free of, then you'll most definitely benefit in one way or another. But for most of us, unless you marry someone you love, and prenuptialize the living hell out of the marriage, then you are likely doomed a lifetime of chaos, and vicious cycles, much like dogs chasing not only cars, but after their own tails as well.

People of earth, I hope this helps. Ok, not really, I hope it hurts. Because, although I can't say I've experienced this first hand, I'm told that if there's no pain, then there cannot be any gain.
