So would I,....happy and poor is the way to go....it's true what they say.....money cannot buy you happiness.\n\nIf you are poor through lack of money yet are still happy because of your love/family/friends/disposition then you are rich beyond imagination anyway.

Happiness is a choice. Your circumstances don't get to decide if you have a happy life or not. Only you do. The people you are referring to just haven't figured it out yet. They're still blaming the world, circumstances, others for their problems. If they would just learn to appreciate what they do have and be happy more good things would continue to come into their experience. Dr. Wayne Dyer says "what you focus on expands" and he's right. I've tried it and compeletely turned my life around.

I know this sounds rather cliche and beauty pagent-like but I would ask for everyone in the World to find happiness. If everyone else was happier, then I feel the World would be a much more beautiful place to be in. People would see that materialistic things and money do not make us happy; they would make more of an effort to help each other and be kind to each other, and everyone would be able to fulfill their potential. On top of that people would be more accepting of each other, and hopefully at peace with each other. The world would be prosperous and contented.

Happiness is more important.  I'd rather struggle with someone I love then be provided for by someone I didn't.

Depend... on how you handle it. Most people suffer because they let the money to control them. Super successful people but also happy with their lives know how to turn this around. They're the ones who control money instead of letting the money to control them.\n\nSo, yeah, it causes evil but it's also can bring happiness.\n\nPS: Anyway, some people are just workaholic or unsatisfied with their job. Money has nothing to do with their misery. <my answer to hillbillybloodshed>

Wealth doesn't make people happy. It usually makes them possessive, cranky, avaricious, greedier, mean, nasty, stressed, etc., because all they can think about is making more money and protecting the money that they already have.

I would rather be poor the rest of my life and have the love I have than to have all the money I need and have no love, most people are just shallow

Neither.  They are both just corrupt ideologies for the rich and privileged who don't give a damn about you.

9 times out of 10 rich = unhappiness so what's the point if you can't enjoy it? If your truly happy you are rich regardless IMHO.

Hi, for some reason money is like a disease everyone wants but they don't realize the harm it causes. Money is power for most people. Most people who get a good education more easily find good jobs with a better pay. However, sometimes a person without a high education can also get a good job. People are misconceived into thinking that money is everything when its not. Money doesn't lead to happiness. On the contrary, happiness is being happy with what you have not matter how much that is.

Find happiness and the money will either follow or be unimportant.

a rich man is the one who has many things, not only money, but qualities, knowledge etc, while a poor man might have money, but still feel he has nothing if his heart is empty.\nrichness is within our souls and no thief can take it away from us.

I would choose happiness over every thing because with happiness and hard work you can achieve almost anything you may not be rich but you will be comfortable and happy.
