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

Right now I would choose to be rich and unhappy and I'll get happy.  Being poor sucks... I know this for a fact.

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. 

But what if you were so rich and spent so much money on yourself nothing meant anything to you any more, eventually you will get bored with everything. Rich and unhappy isn't hard for me to understand at all.

Agreed. being poor sucks. living pay check to pay check never get what you want. but if i was rich i sure i can come with all sorts of things to make me happy

I still don't think that being "rich" would make me happy but being comfortable and not living pay check to pay check would make me happy.  If I could go to dinner a couple nights a week, pay off my debt and go on vaction once in a while I would be happy.

Either way both phrases will not be good for anyone

I have been poor and happy all my life. Everything I have absolutly needed have been met. It wasnt until recently that I have had more money. I have been attending church on a weekly basis, and have come into more money.

I would choose poor and happy.

Poor and happy.  If you were blind you wouldn't be able to enjoy all the cool things you could buy, so why not enjoy what you have and forget about material things!?

[JuneBug1985]

I completely agree!!!

[Mugmaniak]

the real question is has anyone every seen a rich unhappy person?

[kodomfulmanar]

i would choose to be rich and unhappy, so i could prepare a life for my next generation, in which they could be rich and happy
