I see a lot in life that money can't buy happiness.
but happy people need money,
is it better to be a rich man who is afraid of losing his money, afraid of having his house robbed, afraid that his wife has an affair with another man, spoiled and extravagant children even for a rich man, will become an easy field for the deceit of the material people.
but if we are poor, we will be happy with whatever we have? happy with a simple place to live, enough money and sustenance, a loyal wife, children who are obedient to their parents and have no worries about excessive loss
do you prefer to be rich or simple?

All poor people are not happy. Not all people living in a simple life are happy. Happiness is subjective and it's not permanent. You may be happy today but not in the following days.

@youfiq Happiness is not fake for those who know how to find it and appreciate life. That's why it's subjective.

I'd rather be rich than poor for sure
I've never been a millionaire but have been so so close to it
Through stupidity I now don't have much money and work 7 days a week.
If I could go back I would and I'd do things differently.
Having enough isn't enough for me...I'd like a little extra

I feel that I have been pretty poor compared to now and I feel as though no matter how much money we have we need more..
The more you have the more you need and the more complicated your expenses get but I'm glad that I have lived through being poor because it has given me better values about what I look for in people and family but would rather have enough to cover our basic needs than be struggling to even cover the bills and groceries.

It's true, money doesn't buy happyness. The only difference between the "rich" and the "simple", is "simple people" often live paycheck to paycheck. They wonder where their next meal will come from. They could have to worry about a husband/wife being loyal or not.
Me, I wish I had more money, sure. But, I'm okay.

@youfiq Exactly. Anyone can suffer the same hardships. It's not exclusive to one type over the other.

I'd prefer a simple life. In fact, I'd like to live in the province away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

I'm not rich but being rich would certainly solve a lot of my problems
