What is the meaning of for 'love or money'?

Answer 1

"I would do it for neither love nor money" Nothing (Love and money are usually very good enticers) would make a person do something they don't want to. I haven't explained it very well I think ?

Answer 2

The phrase "love of money" usually has "all for" with it: "all for the love of money".

As example sentences:

1. The man stole his competitor's ideas, all for the love of money.

2. The 19-year old beauty married the 80-year old billionaire, reportedly not for love but for the love of money.

3. The group of kids beat the businessman, simply because their love of money made them believe the man was carrying lots of cash.

"For the love of money" or "all for the love of money" means a person is willing to go to extremes, or act against typically accepted morals and ethics, just because he or she loves money so much, or loves money above anything else.

In one word, these phrases can simply mean, "greed", but usually the phrases indicate the opinion that the person's behavior is far outside of accepted social norms.
