interesting choice ... I think there was a time when people did not have to care about wealth and still live a decent life ... With the economic and commercial rules of the modern age, it seems man has no choice but to strive hard to avoid adverse economic conditions ... What do you think ?

I agree... but it is a hard choice but in the end it is also a choice.

I wouldn't mind being rich or poor, my concern is just about how to fulfill what I need in my life. And basically, human's need is very simple: food, cloth, place to live, friends, knowledge, etc. Yet, my life's goal should be a happiness. It wouldn't matter whether I am poor or rich, as long as I am happy :).

very interesting comment. it seems many people believe that happiness comes by being rich materially. But the happiness brought by material wealth seems to disappear after a while ... What do you think?

Yeah, and if a person never be grateful for things that he has, then I think he will never found any happiness in his life.. Greediness might really blind people..

I don't want to be rich, but it would be nice to make a comfortable income without having to leave home to do it.

Interesting. Without leaving home, I think we can do much via the internet. for instance http://bit.ly/qg6NnZ What do you think ?

I think middle of both is fair for me.I never expect to have rich man, but if I get him with good attitude, it will be mercy for me there's no real poor man, there's just effortless man that make his family suffering and lack of welfare. even he's not rich, but he doing many effort to have life better, it's awesome for me

I would choose to be a rich person. With wealth, I can do and buy everything I want, including helping other people. The only things you can't buy with money are genuine relationships. However, I believe that genuine relationships can be cultivated if you are sincere towards other people.

It is good to be rich because you will be able to buy anthing you want. Today, there is no thing that is free in this world. If you are rich you can gain respect from the eyes of the people. Unfortunately, rich people also have a lot of fears because there are poor people that would want to have what they have just to earn money for living. For me, it's better not to be that rich or not to be that poor. I want a life that is full of contentment. Although, i may be poor but since God came to my heart, I made rich because I have a mansion in heaven.

As long as both people have all that really matters, love, friends, careers, clothes, food, and shelter, I will chose to be rich because than I can use the money to do good things.

It is not how much one has but what one makes of what one has can lead to happiness. What one needs is happiness and even the mediocre and the poor have a right to be happy. Have you seen those who have no shelter yet have a smile a smile the rich would want but will not have because they are not satisfied with what they have.
