hey friends, if you can choose which of the two will you pick, being wealthy or being healthy? What is more important to you wealth or health? I think, i'd rather choose health cause we can't buy good health and what are we going to do with our wealth if we are sick? anyway, we can't bring our wealth with us when we die. What do you think? :)

I would defiantely choose health among the two... If u r healthy, then u r bound to work more and earn more money side by side... If u choose money, then chances r u mite get ruined in the way, coz money spoils every1 healthwise... And I completely agree with ur saying that we don't take wealth with us once we leave the world...

I agree with you totally! What good is wealth if your sick all the time? I'd much rather have my health BACK if I could and maybe some day I may with the advances in modern medicines. Then maybe I'll wish for wealth. LOL

COMPLETELY AGREE with u claire03 As the old saying goes.... When wealth is lost,nothing is lost When health is lost,something is lost But When character is lost,everythng is lost..... so wealth is at a lower proirity than health.... well in todays world,wealth is V V imp but in comparision with health,wealth is not imp....

I would always have health. Cause health is wealth. YOu can always have wealth if you have healh. YOu can earn it efficiently. But when you don't have health itself you can never earn any money or even enjoy its luxuries!!! Life is health and if there is no health then money can do nothing accept paying your hospital bills..!! :)

i agree with you that health is important than health.... by being healthy you can work hard to be wealthy. just be hard working and you can be wealthy. but some wealthy people can buy all the expensive medicines and vitamins and food supplement for them to stay healthy. well now im confused hahaha. well health is wealth you can be rich if you are healthy. wink wink

yes some can buy expensive medicines and vitamins but not all get cured like cancer or Aids, they have no cure. so even if we have money we still can't buy being healthy.

I have Multiple Sclerosis. I would choose health over wealth. Being unhealthy isn't what anyone would actually want. Sure, being wealthy would help me, but I'd choose to be healthy over anything.

Well, to me health is ten times more important than wealth. If you have wealth with no health you cannot enjoy your money.

Hello there. I would rather be healthy too. Due to our current lifestyle and the environment we live in, it's not uncommon to see people falling sick. It's terrible to be sick. Being unhealthy can make one depressed and think negatively. Good health cannot and should not be taken for granted for.

I definitely would choose health because if a person is healthy he can work very hard to acquire wealth and more wealth. If you are wealthy but severely sick, your money will just vanish in due time.

Dear Claire03 I know plenty of ways where you can have both. Nowadays you need money to buy health as you cannot get it in the food that we eat. The minerals are gone from the soil so we need supplements. see www.inguyen1.successuniversity.com and www.inguyen1.successuniversity.com.new my friends and i are starting an online business through the site above. We can send you some information if you like - you can learn about personal development and earn money at the same time. also see www.neways.com

Hi, I'll choose health of course because with health you can make wealth but vise versa no way so health is the most important thing in every one's life without health no life, wealth come and go.

I would want wealth, because that would mean I would be healthy. Much of the time we are ill because we cannot afford the proper food or the proper means to get healthy. If I had had the money when we first found we could not have children, we would have been able to take the proper treatment. Also we would have been better able to insulate our house so I would not have bronchitis during the fall and winter months. We could buy better food, that is healthier but right now too expensive. So in a sense, I have never heard of a wealthy person being sick unless it was an inherited condition or unless he brought it on himself. So that choice of wealth or health would never happen. If someone said poverty or health, then that would have been an easier choice since poor people often do not have the means of getting the proper food or medical care.

As for me the prime importance at present is plenty of money to solve my worsened financial situation. Of course I do not wish to put my health at stake. Minor health problems can easily be solved with money around...hence money and wealth are the important things.

yes,i think so.a great philosopher named mengzi who lived in one thousand years ago,he said:fish,i love,meat,i like too,and if i can't get hold of them at one time,what can i do.yes,i select health.health,i can do many things,no health,although wealthy,i have no pleasure in life,that is trouble. of course,i'd better get hold of wealthy and healthy.

Wealth without health isn't very useful. In fact, you made need all your wealth in persuit of health at the rate Drs. charge. I would like health. No, we can't bring our wealth with us when we die, but we can't bring our health either! Ha, ha. Take care
