I think that i would have to choose the 100000 dollars because that is alot of money and i can buy alot of things with that and i could buy things with that to last me the rest of my life..i know that everyone wants wisdom but really i would use the money for better uses then if i were to have wisdom because it probably wouldnt be used for good!

I know this will sound foolish, but if I were to be given that choice, I would pick wisdom. I chose wisdom because money cannot buy wisdom, but wisdom can earn you money. Besides, I think that happiness comes from living your life with wisdom and joy, and not from money alone. For example, if we are wise in looking after our health, we will stay healthy and we can enjoy our life to the fullest. But if we greed for the 100000 dollars and neglect our health, most of the money will be used to treat our health problems anyway. So, wisdom is my final answer! =)

I don't think it's enough to last the rest of one's life. That amount is only enough just to buy one house or to fund one's tertiary education at most. With wisdom, it's up to you whether you want to be gullible or not to make yourself a stepping stone to others. Besides, normally people with wisdom do not simply share their wisdom to everyone.

Hi there andyvish! If I were to choose between having 100000 dollars or a great wisdom, I would definitely choose to have great wisdom. Great wisdom can get me that 100000 dollars but that 100000 can never get me a great wisdom.

i will get the monies. I think the wisdom that I have is more than enough already.
well, if I were to stay from 0, i.e. 0 monies and 0 wisdom, I definitely will choose wisdom.

Now that is what I say wisdom is. It is not sure in this world, you will be able to make money and live happily. If you have wisdom people will use you as a stepping stone. Mainly because people with wisdom never go against the bad people. You must read the previous post and the first and second posts. Thank you.

of all time wisdom has been said to be the principal thing .if you are given $1m its only a matter of time before you loose it if you are without wisdom,a foolish man plunders wealth while awise man increases the wealth so obviously i will choose wisdom over money because with wisdom i will be boss to a man with money.take a cue from those guys who win lotteries foolishnes makes them think it will go on firever and they eventually loose all

Tricky question. I would choose both. During one of the interview I've attended, I was asked the same question, between happiness and wealth. I told the interviewers that I will take both and justified my answer. I got the job.
But to your question, I'll pick wisdom. With wisdom we will make the right choice in life and we will be able to make fortune. Even if you have so much monies but do not know how to handle it, you will eventually lose all the monies. One good example is Micheal Jackson.
