Love vs. Money is the second album by American singer-songwriter The-Dream. It was released on March 10, 2009, by Radio Killa and Def Jam Recordings.

The album was written and produced primarily by The-Dream with his creative partner Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. Recording sessions for the album took place at several recording studios, including Chung King Studios in New York City and Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas. With the album, The-Dream sought to amplify the sonic dynamics of his debut album Love/Hate, incorporating elements of pop and electro. Love vs. Money features themes of seduction, rejection, and money in relation to romantic love.

The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, selling 151,000 copies in its first week. It spent 17 weeks on the chart, and by May 2009, it had sold 331,000 copies in the United States. Four singles were released and performed well on Billboard charts, including "Rockin' That Shit", "Walkin' on the Moon" and "Sweat It Out". Love vs. Money was a widespread critical success and listed by several publications as among the best albums of 2009.
