Would you rather be rich or healthy?

[dmathiss]

If I had to choose between being healthy or being rich I'd rather be healthy. If you are healthy you have everything in your hands because with health you can enjoy life and you can always go out and earn all the money you need. If you are rich but not healthy, you can't enjoy your money so it does you no good. All you will accomplish is leaving it to unappreciative relatives who will waste it in god knows what after you're gone and I ain't saying all relatives are like that but let's be serious for the most part money changes a whole lot of people.

What do you guys think?

Nobody is going to live forever. Even the people who eat healthy foods exclusively are going to die. A person can use the money from being rich to enjoy life as much as they can. If they want to travel, they can do so, and if they do not want the money going to greedy relatives, they can create a will.


I would choose to be somewhere in the middle.

I'd rather be healthy, too. Just because you're not rich doesn't make you poor.

[malgron]

 

probably health I suppose

[jenniferhoder]

that's a tough one... I KNOW that money can't buy happiness, and if you are healthy, at least you have that!!!!

I would rather be healthy then half lots of money (enough to pay bills, eat, and have a little extra is good) but with poor health I wouldn't enjoy my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren as much and I would not want to be a burden to them.

Articx, I agree completely with you that nobody is going to live forever but if you are not healthy and you are rich you are not going to enjoy that money at all.

i rather be healthy anyday if you be rich and sick i would not find that great.

[ariet09]

i'd rather be healthy because if i was rich and unhealthy i probably wouldnt live that long to enjoy my money anyways

[jsuderc]

I'd rather be healthy. Money does no one any good if he is dead.

[briannajeanxo]

[isabel1226]

I rather be healthy, but having money could not hurt.

This question reminds me of a quote I recently read.

    The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:

    “Man.
    Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
    Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
    And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
    the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
    he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

IF I HAD TO CHOOSE I SUPPOSE I'D CHOOSE MY HEALTH, BUT SINCE WE'RE JUST PRETENDING WHY CAN'T WE HAVE BOTH?
