Who's life is better and peacefull ?A simple farmer who grows corn and rice for his entire family to live on leads a simple but happy life OR the millionaire CEO of a multinational company who has a hectic busy schedule but satisfying his life and the ability to buy anything he or his needs. who has the more peacefull and happy life

Neither of them.Imagine the life of a farmer.Just living somewhere around the farm in the middle of no where doing nothing.No malls or any other happening place near by.Just sitting there all day and taking care of the farm.He also has to think about the various issues like the cattle grazing over the farm and other stuff like the rain spoiling the crops.Soil erosion is another major issue the farmers must look into.So i don't think a farmer would have the peace we actually think he would.
Now consider the millionaire,he has to think about his job and making money all the time and he'd no way have time for recreation and fun.Too bad for him cuz he'd have everything he wants beside him but still he'd be tied up.
Thus the life of a mediocre is anyday better than a farmer or a millionaire.

i could say any of the two. as long as he lives a fulfilled and contented life, that life is better. people have different ambitions and aspirations in life. some wanted just a simple life and some wants to have a rich one. every people have different views on success. as long as he reaches what he wants, he's better off

Well, I have never been a millionaire but when I lived in the city I had everything I needed. My husband and I each had a great job, decent house, paid our bills and had enough to do whatever we wanted. Eat out? No problem! Movies tonight? Sure! But we were constantly busy trying to keep up with our schedules and we rarely had time to spend with our two kids. Now I live in the country, I don't work outside of my home, I run a farm on my propery but my kids work with me so we spend much more time together. We are less stressed living "the farmer's life" and are way happier. We don't have nearly the amount of money to play with that we used to but we are making it. We are happier out here, living simply, but I know that this is not for everyone. I think it all depends on the individual on which life will make them happier.

It is a matter of opinion. If you have a lot of money, you have the financial freedom to do anything you like as you are not restricted to spend. A farmer can be busy, as he needs to work hard to feed his family. He can be at pece if his crops produce a good yield, the asking price for his crops is high enough to cover his cost and make enough profit to be able to last a few seasons. I'd rather have a lot of money. I can do a lot of things.......
