sure the health is more important. If you aren't a healthly person, you can't a happy person. Also if you are not healthly you need money to buy medicaments...

Good health is by far the most important thing a person can have in life. If a person is dying no amount of money could keep them alive. If a person is in constant pain they will not have any pleasures in life. If a person has too much money nothing will be very special for them. If a person is poor and saves up for a year to buy a laptop it will be important to them. A certain amount of money to buy essential like food is necessary. Good luck is more important than many things. It is possible for a person to be in excellent health, very rich but terribly miserable because things have not gone well for them.

Come to think of it....we work so hard for the money....then time comes that our health starts to fail...then eventually we lose all our money just to restore our health. The bottomline is: Health is still wealth. AT my age, I value my health more than when I was younger. Now I realize the importance of good health, hence I observe strict diet to avoid having complications with my diabetes. I'm sure I'll lose all my money if I'd have complications, and our world will then turn upside down.

Your health of course. What sense would it make to be very unhealthy? You wouldnt even be able to enjoy the money. Money cant buy happiness anyways so your better off to choose health.

I agree - health is more important. However, if you have your health and you don't have money, that can effect your health too - constantly working to make ends meet - it's a major stress builder & can break up marriages/families.
On the other hand, too much money can effect your health too. That's if you don't know how to handle it - if you get too much too soon, and all of a sudden everyone's being nice to you and you don't know who to trust. And then from there, you get paranoid & depressed.
So it might not necessarily be as straightforward as choosing which one of the two is more important.
