Happy, obviously. Not much point to expendable income if it can't bring you joy.

Then again, sacrificing happiness to form a charity is a worthy pursuit.

Joke's on you, that's my charity, and it's a charity to study the science of how happy people can be made with money.

Your whole family are millionaires now, and it's all your fault.

Happy implies a lot. Despite being poor.

Honestly, I'll go that direction. Being depressed means you could piss away all the money you do have in pursuit of that which you don't have.

After all, I believe it was said/written that a poor man entering Heaven is like putting a camel through the eye of a needle. lol

Right. That gave us Jaden Smith....Jaden fuckin Smith!

But really, the fuck are you talking about. Poor people create art more than rich people because they can't afford as many distractions. Rich people just use fluff because they can afford it. Poor people have to actually be good on a deeper level to try and be heard.

If it's impossible to be happy while doing that, that would imply that you're not doing that while poor. >_>. You'd be getting by in a way that keeps you happy. Otherwise the hypothetical makes no sense and doesn't work. That's the part I feel like people are missing. People are treating it like one option is a trap lol. The "happy" part implies you're poor but not in a way you're forced into depressing (to you) circumstances.

Eh. If I don't assume he means the opposite isn't true, I don't see a problem with what he's saying. I had gave the other side of the coin in the post prior to what he said and he didn't dismiss it. He just said an alternative perspective added to it. Both circumstances vary realistic to me

There are gotchas to both sides.
Rich but depressed- why would I be depressed? If I have enough money to never work, to never sweat a bill again, what's left to be unhappy about? My health?
Poor but happy- how can you be happy if you struggle to, or straight up don't, pay the bills each month?
I would take low income but happy over high income but unhappy.

This one's easy. Either no or very bad personal relationships. Money is pointless if you got no one to enjoy it with.

The struggle doesn't stop you from being happy. So, you're either set through outside help but not enough to thrive. Again, personal relationships come into play. You're probably being elevated by those around you that love you and find peace with helping you out.

Whichever makes me happy, which according to the title would be poor. That's fine with me, it'd just be an upgrade to be poor and happy over poor and depressed.
