Poor and happy no hesitation. It doesn't matter how rich you are if you can never fulfill your satisfaction.
I have a very hard time seeing how I could be miserable if I didn't have to worry about money problems at all. Assuming I got all of that money legally, of course.
I mean, if those are the only two choices, the question doesn't really make any sense. The only reason one might choose to be rich and miserable would be if you were already miserable and wanted to leave money to your loved ones after you killed yourself or something like that. But other than that, why would you willingly choose to guarantee yourself a life of misery, over being guaranteed happiness?
If you've been poor all your life, i doubt you can be miserable if you all of a sudden become rich. Maybe if your wife cheats and leaves you...but, she'd probably take most of it in the divorce b/c that's life and women have it so hard they deserve every penny. But, that would once again make you poor and miserable trying to be poor and happy. The question would have been better if it went: Would you rather be rich with a lil cak or poor with a big cak
You're super rich, but crippled and impotent. And you have uncontrollable bowel movements. Would that do it?
I'd much rather be poor and happy. What is all the money worth if you do not enjoy life? "At the end of the day we're just people, we all just want to smile," - Arian Foster
There has been studies that in general people with less money are less stressed, and happier... mo money mo problems theory... ive been poor my whole life, and enjoy it incredibly... i know if i was raised rich i would take for granted the 87 dodge dakota i drive, yet im poverty born and enjoy and love ky truck... money buys happiness, but not true happiness... it buys quik fix joys... a rich peraon would be upset, sad and mad for having to drive my truck... i find joy in it... i hang out with family and frienda often, not doing much but talking and yet i love it... a rich person would be bored and upset about how nothong fun or exciting is happening... poor people value.things more than rich people, this is why rixh people are on antidepressants and poor people arent... Id rather be poor and happy, and value and respect.everything much more than to be rich and miserable, all the while taking things for granted and not enjoying the lesset things in life...
