Happy and poor or rich and unhappy?

Finally, after two posts of me saying the same thing, someone agrees and puts it in perfect words to ensure I'm not the only sane one (the downside of being smarter and more organized than everyone). I can't imagine how most people that check out this thread can oversee that.

I can't sleep at night because of the mass amounts of people that discuss this and actually choose one of the options in the poll. I didn't vote.

Sorry to keep you up at night?
lol.

Its just a poll, there are bigger things in life to waste emotion over.

I'm as unemotional over this as can be. It merely concerns me a little that (1) someone might believe this tripe (2) that people might "draw conclusions" from it and (3) people who don't know better might follow it.

I think (probably) the core of what you're asking about might be a really deep issue but the cursory treatment you gave it does the subject no justice. Alternatively, depending on what it is you were digging for, you could ask something like "Would it be wiser to focus ones life on money and hope happiness comes along, or focus life on doing what makes one happy at the moment and live simply?"

or maybe "Which is better, to live simply and concentrate on living life to the fullest, or to focus on a career, business, money, etc. and perhaps a goal of retiring early?"

or whatever you want, but not some set of simplistic and unrealistic choices.
