Would you rather be UGLY and rich or HANDSOME but poor?

It's the age old question that makes people think really hard. I'd like to hear how you'd want to live if you had a choice (1) ugly and rich, (2) handsome but poor? Ugly/Handsome of course relates to physical beauty and rich/poor refers to economic standing. By ugly I mean BUTT ugly and by poor I mean no good stuff for you.

I'd definitely take rich and ugly. Being attractive would do very, very little to improve my life at this point. Being attractive might marginally improve my success at finding work, but if I were wealthy, then that wouldn't be a concern.

3-0, I wasn't expecting a landslide vote. I thought someone would come up with a good reason why being handsome but poor would count. So I guess everybody's having some financial difficulty.

I would choose to be ugly, however, rich. I could then make myself attractive if I really needed to :P But the money would go a long way in helping me, and allow me to repay my wonderful family, pay for education costs, and such. Society and their views shouldn't stand in my way of living life so much. Physical beauty only lasts so long - and today's world is hard. Modeling and such, I don't know - I would have higher chances of ending up in threatening or risky "careers."

If I had the choice and that it will become true, I would rather be ugly looking but rich than handsome but nothing to show off. That is the reality today. Even if a person is not good looking, as long as he has money, the physical appearnance doesn't matter most. Therefore, it's better for me to have the money or rich and ugly because I can make my face beautiful if I have the money.
