In today’s world, love often feels overrated. Many people believe that love should be the ultimate pursuit in life, but in reality, it has become something secondary to more practical concerns, like financial stability. The idea that love is just a beautiful connection seems outdated when money plays such a significant role in modern relationships. It's no surprise that many people, particularly those in the younger generations, view relationships through a transactional lens—where partners are selected based on what they bring to the table, whether that's financial security, emotional support, or social status. In this environment, love no longer feels like an unfiltered, emotional bond, but rather a series of choices and calculations.

For many, the belief is simple: without money, love isn’t something you can fully experience or access. Once financial stability is achieved, the world opens up, and romantic opportunities seem to multiply. This view reflects a broader societal shift where financial success is seen as the key to securing love, along with everything else in life. Modern love, thus, is no longer just about feelings; it's about what you can offer. While love may still hold value for some, the reality is that it often feels like a luxury only accessible to those who have met certain material thresholds. Until those thresholds are met, love remains something that’s difficult to prioritize in the face of other, more pressing concerns.
