You have two options, be rich and unhappy or be poor and happy.

If I only had two options to be rich and unhappy or be poor and happy, I would choose to rich and unhappy.  Being rich would afford me the opportunity to serve others better in so many ways that in turn that would change my unhappy state to happiness.

I'd rather be rich and unhappy.

Rich and unhappy sounds a little contridictary. If I were extremely wealthy I would be usually happy because I would be able to spend the money I had to get what I usually wanted or needed. If my needs were met I would be happy eventually. So I would rather be rich and unhappy.

It seems like a tough choice!!!
But If I really have to pick, I will pick rich and unhappy!!!

[Joeyramone]

I would choose to be rich and unhappy.

I'm not poor, have it hard, but not poor. I am happy Because even though times get tough, my family makes me the richest most happy person in the world. You just have to learn to appreciate the small things in life, even though any one would love to be rich, think people need to learn to count their blessings. It could be worse.

rich and unhappy

[Aliciadanice]

I agree

[cloudsoup]

for me, being happy is (however corny) being
in love with my favorite guy in the whole world
and him feeling the same. its irreplaceable...

so, i'd be afraid to pick rich and unhappy, although
i'd totally want to. but being rich would obviously
have to cancel else something else just as good,
and that would be him.

(me? think too much into things? never!)

LOL, poor and happy

I would have to vote for rich and happy and I do really believe that I could be happy with a lot of money since I've been happy for a lot of years with barely enough money.  I've know periods where there was enough money not to have to worry and periods where there was constant worry and everything is just easier with more money.

I believe being happy will make you rich, because when you are happy you have a better outlook on life, you feel young at heart and live a fulfilling life. Being happy I will be thrilled if I should win the lottery.

Money does not always equate happiness or unhappiness it depends on how you were brought up to treat others. if you work hard and are still unhappy that would be all you. in my case i work hard have very little money but for the most part am very happy with my kids and life.  if you want to be happy change yourself for the better. It also depends on what you call "poor." in my case it is living paycheck to paycheck.  when i was not so worried about money with a better job it just made my life a bit easier and less stress.

I grew up poor, and my childhood was very happy. Money doesn't make you happy, and riches tend to bring a lot of worry and misery. I wouldn't mind having a lot of money, but I'd rather choose happiness over money.
