Poor or Rich?

I'd rather be poor and live peacefully than be reach and be miserable. I'd always thought that my being born into a poor family was an advantage to me, because after all the hardships I encountered from being poor, I became strong and strived to become better. I've known of people my batch who came from rich families and they lived their life like there's no tomorrow. I guess they weren't contented and happy with their life. They had almost everything, could buy anything they want, but their life still seems so sad. I guess material wealth does not make a person really happy at all.

i would chose neither Being poor but have a peaceful life nor Being rich but live a misearable life.i think both are extremes.i would not like to live my life at extreme ends because i live my as it comes.i think poor can be rich overnight.so money should not be criteria for life.money comes and money goes.

I think id rather choose to be poor but have a peaceful life. All i want this life to be is to have a peaceful life. I want it because all my life i have no peace of mind, i have to think of everything, like whenever i have problem or someone in the family, i keep thinking how to resolve it in order to help. What is the use of money when i have no peace of mind.

everybody want to become rich. I think being rich or poor none can change his destiny. Man can make life comfortable with money bun can't change many thing. In my personal life i saw that money has no role when my father got liver cancer. It was next to impossible for doctors to give him life. At that moment a poor healthy father's children was more happy than me. When Tsunami came, it washed out both rich and poors. Such many things happen in our life that we can't buy with money. We can't get a true love with money. So I think happiness is the main thing in our life. If god asks me to choose i would choose a peaceful happy longlife journey with my lifepartner without being rich. Wish u also a peacefull life.

It is a good question,for all my life search for the answer.For myself i will chose the peaceful life as long as i can feed myself.But in fact I can't ,because there have lots of things i should do,and it will take me lot of money.So can you tell me which one i shoule chose.One things is important ,i love my wife ,and i woule like do everythings for her.

I would maybe choose poor since miserable life cant be changed.. Have a peaceful life and work hard to earn money

interesting choices huh..but i guess i would choose being poor if being rich means having a miserable life..that's a tough one you know..having able to buy all of the things you like but not having any peace of your own..well i guess it's more important that we have peace in our life even if we are less fortunate when it comes to financial status..
