Short answer - a Taurus will not pick one if the other is not there. My first love was aspired to be a fireman. I fell hard for this man when I was 15 and we dated on and off for almost 10 years. I knew we would not be married because I did not envision myself marrying and living paycheck to paycheck. (Don't go criticizing me... my father was a policeman and my parents fought about money regularly.) After going away to college I dated a man for 4 years who went to medical school. I did not love him as deeply, and always felt that something was missing, but he offered a life style that was financially secure. When he proposed I turned him down. When I started law school, I met a man who was also in law school. He was pleasantly ambitious, smart, witty, and considerate. In that stage of life, I was looking for someone who would be a good husband, father, and provider. Someone stable, without drug/alcohol issues. The sex was mediocre, but I was willing to sacrifice that. (He is a Gemini). I did not love him as deeply as my first love (who I will always have a special place in my heart) but he reminded me of him in many ways. I did love him and we had more of a best friend type of relationship. We could always communicate well, which I loved about him. Just no fireworks. So I think a Taurus will hold out for someone who is the whole package. I think the priorities will be Love, Financial Stability, and then... sex. But after 20 years of missing good sex, wow, you appreciate it when you get it!

If I didn't have a job I would be miserable. So a job that pays well and have good hours, and schedule is great. If I didn't have a job no one would take me out on a date because I wouldn't date til I have funds.

I'm fixed on man/woman doing things together some way to make it work as long as there aren't any hardships like on purposes getting fired from a job or cheating and taking advantage of someone else who has money and use them.

If a Taurus had to choose between the two, would they choose true Love with their Soul Mate, or a mountain of money? And why do you think this?
I agree this isn't a very good question. Love first. Taurus will find and/or make ends meet and make it work. And who needs a mountain of money. Taurus like to make homey and like nice things and don't like to have to pinch pennies but they certainly know how to do that while they are planning how to do something to increase their circumstances financially. Unless the Taurus is a complete moron who was born to a total redneck family and doesn't know diddle squat - not sure how they survive.

true love in a trailer park
I agree but not a trailer - they scare me ...
trailers are a tier above what poor people live in here in the 3rd world lol

they scare me because they burn so quickly - guess I've seen too many tragic things happen to them ... but I do understand what you are saying - I'm sure there are people that are ever so grateful for them - I'd rather live in a shack - near the mountains and by water and/or the ocean where I can be outside a lot so I feel safer and grow/raise food and fish - I want the cave man love lol -

I've learnt with Taurus if you have money (maybe more than the average person) you have to keep it hidden at first when dating as it's hard to tell the motive fully as they make a lot of comments about money and even though they may like you the way they view it just takes the shine off the romance and makes you question it a bit. In saying that the drive towards making it and work attitude is attractive also thus being in that situation-so it's a good fit. Dating someone lazy when you have money downright sucks aka Pisces even though the sex is great.

I dated a Taurus gouging through a divorce with a person who's family was rich .. he was rather abusive verbally though a fun person and the family kicked him out of the family business (before the separation) and he considered this to be stealing from him and thus divorced the girl. Anyone could have seen his attitude in general to people was not something you would tolerate in business and would have caused problems but he never gave up on the fact the wife let the family "steal from him".

Not just you.... "Money" will always be an issue for a Taurus. A life long relationship until the day they die...

Taurus are self indulgent creatures and money is the main source of which they pay for their indulgences. They are also materialistic and Greedy...

The "Seven Deadly Sins" always reminds me of the "dark /lower level" of a Taurus...



Why tf do you keep replying to posts on my "daft question"? Seriously!!

I realized that putting love first is not the best thing to do...

I learned that if your partner is living a different life style than yours (financially as well) for example, if he is not getting me gifts, celebrates my successes bec. Hes short on money and he was not raised to do this, as its not being his life style , while you are enjoying all what life gives to you and try to live comfortably, you will end up frustrated with him and not in love.

I just could not yet find love with a financially stable person or someone with closer life style .. Sigh.. And I am not sure if I should sacrifice love for that.. Mm

Financial stability is a product of being able to love without regret. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it indeed is a luxury in terms of personal security.

I'm not a taurus, but how can you treat your true love the way they truly wish to be treated when you're broke af.


This is so true. My ex taurus broke up with me because he wasn't financially stable...
If a Taurus is really into you, they will stick around and make it work.

Maybe he was just not that into you... Taurus will want BOTH. Money AND the woman he views as the One he is driven hard to work to provide for. He will hang on to her to the bitter end if he truly sees a future with her.

Alas, yours did not see a future with you...

Maybe you're right about that...that ship has sailed...But my ex was also insecure and immature, he would break up with me when he's under a lot of stress then apologize and beg for me back. I was tired of the back and forth. He had more than finical issues going on...he was all messed up...probably still is. But I loved that man no matter what and told him that...He broke up me and said that he need to find himself...whatever that means lol

never understood how someone who isn't successful could think they deserve someone who is successful.

I actually thought about dating Taurus but this thread is making me second guess

I'd choose ambition over stability any day.

It's more fun

I'd rather gamble than have a fake fairytale life



U don't have to be successful

In fact not ever have a job history

You just have to come from rich family

Ok, but if ur not rich then........

Why would a rich person want u?!?!?

Because they see your ambition, desire to help you succeed and maybe even some sort of slim chance actually appreciate you for the ambitious actively pursuing your goals person you are.

I'd say second guess it tho if those 3 ideas seem far fetched.
