Which is the most important, happy or rich?

You should not set your expectations too high for the amount to money or riches you wish to have. One who sets their expectations too high, is almost always disappointed. Instead, you should cherish what you have, and seek to improve yourself from within, and not measure your personal worth by the size of your bank account.

Even if you are poor, you should still feel satisfied in your life. Satisfaction, happiness, and the meaning of your life come from within yourself and not from money or riches of the world.There are a lot of things in the world which we can't buy it with money! Do you think so?

So please try to slow down and turn around, to see your wife and child, maybe you will find the most precious thing in the world which you forgot for a long time!

Re: Which is the most important, happy or rich?

I would think taking the middle road is the best alternative for most worries and problems!

Different people have different priorities in life. A lot also depends on which stage you're

at in life. If you've been there, done that (say a 60 year old)- happiness would be more valued than riches.

If you're a struggling 20-something waiter somewhere in the world, riches would appeal more than happiness.

There are more than 7 billion people in the world today - so rest assured you will get

a good mix of answers.


I just feel different things means different things to people. There is no right or wrong.

In today's world, both matter - money and happiness. Which one do you want more of ?

Well, that's really down to your priorities, isn't it ?

If you are happy with your lot in life then you are rich.

Money is not the real quetion.All we need is happyness and achievability.We can enjoy our life with money, so we struggle for money. That is the point.

Being happy includes being rich (enough), but being rich doesn't necessarily include being happy...

Doing business is great, being a grandpa is much better!

Re: Which is the most important, happy or rich?

            Hi i am Ozlem ,

Actually it isn't so hard to make the right decision about this.So what's the way to find the answer of these question?Firstly think about love.Have ever seen or met a person selling love and getting money after sale?Or if you think you can buy love with a lot of how much money can you give for it?What a silly idea?Isn't it?A clever person can never think something like that.Despite of all these comments if you still have some doubts or uncertain ideas  you should try to buy love or the other things that can not be bougt, to see if it's right or not.THAT IS A GOOD TECHNIQUE FOR YOU, I THINK.

Accd to me Happiness & richness is OPPSITE of each other. The people which are rich are not necesery happier then the people who are poor. You are right when you -say money cant buy ever thing. Yes. There for i think happiness is more important then going crazy about money.

Yes as you say when people are mature enough they will say hapiness is more important than being rich.

Budhdha has preached 2550 years ago "Health is the greatest of gifts, contentment the greatest of riches; trust is the finest of relationships and nirvana the highest bliss. "
