Would you rather be poor and work at a job you love or be rich and work at a job you hate?
It depends on the person if he wants to be rich or poor, happy or sad, a person who wants happiness will choose to be poor and have a good job which he loves. He will be happy because there is no stress in his life. A person who does not care about happiness will choose to be rich. Me: I will choose to be rich because I have bills to pay, eat proper food etc. We must just imagine this stress like as if a kid is going to school, the kid does not want to go to school but going to the school and studying will benefit him, that is the reason I chose to be rich because the job will benefit me.
Would you rather be poor and loved or rich and hated?
Depends, how poor am I ? If by poor you mean, homeless and living on a cardboard box your whole life, then I'd rather be rich and hated. But if I'm only a little poor, like having a home but having to catch the bus everyday, having a low paying job and only just making your bills, I'd rather be poor and loved. I'd rather have nothing than no one. Money doesn't make up for friendship.
Would you rather do what you love and be poor, or do what you hate and be rich?
Well well. Just the kind of question that contradicts itself?There two groups of people who get rich: people who are in love with what they do, or people who love money itself.There is no such thing as being poor doing what you love, and there is no such thing as being rich doing what you hate.Having material things is not synonymous of being rich. You can have everything money can buy and still be poor.This is how it works. If you do what you love, you will be happy. If you are happy with yourself, you can be rich financially quicker.The problem today is that many people pursue careers in areas they hate just for the money. Even if they become succesful in what they do, the money serves to make other people, not themselves.When my best friend left his engineering career to start his food catering business from home, many were shocked.The idea itself sounded so crazy. For God's sake, think about your husband or wife coming home with news that they are quiting their high paying job to start a small business with no guarantee that he will succeed. You will likely flip. Right?Well, his wife did and asked me to talk to him, but after he told me that his real passion is cooking good Jamaican food, i ended up encouraging him to give it a try as well as give him my support.Anyway, with his experience and skills, he can always get back to being an engineer if things don't work out, so he got nothing to lose.He went ahead and started his new small business. It has been seven years and he is still in business. I know he easily makes $700 to $1,000 a day, not to account for his catering jobs that can bring in $5,000 per order.Is he rich? That depends on how much money you have. Is he happy? Heck yeah, he is one happy guy who instead of pursuing money for money, pursued his passion for money.I learned a lot from this experience and for me, nothing beats being happy. Once you know what makes you happy and apply yourself, you will be rich for certain.In the end, it's much harder to be poor doing what you love than to be rich doing what you hate. If you really must choose, go for Happiness.
Would you rather be rich or poor? Why?
Well if everything is equal I would prefer to be rich but not super rich.Being well-off or rich has many advantages over being poor or super rich, including:PrivacyIf you become super rich you have less privacy, freedom and even safety.2. WorryIf you are well-off, it won't make you happier in isolation, but it will help you have less worry and allows you to do the things you want to do. For example, if you have passive income, and you don't like your job, you can just leave. But note, that is only for people who are well-off in terms of wealth, not high-income people with little wealth3. ChoiceYou have more choice when you have more resources.4. Help others and make a differenceYou can help other people if you have more resources yourself.5. Live longer and healthierIt isn’t a guarantee but if you have more resources, you have a better chance of living longer and having a better quality of life.6 Steps to Financial Freedom
Girls: Would you rather a rich or poor guy?
I mean, I'm not using him or anything like that, but I would choose the Rich Guy. I mean, he just wants someone to share his money/riches with!
Would rather be rich and alone or poor and have a family?
Assuming I can manage to provide for my family, I'd much rather have that.I've actually asked a similar (if somewhat more extreme) version for some years now: imagine that you can pick one of two paths in life. In one of them, you succeed in everything you do beyond your wildest dreams: you become vastly wealthy, internationally renowned and respected, contribute a great deal to the world. You have good friends and honored colleagues, you can give to charities and fund worthy causes BUT the catch is that you never have any kind of romantic live. You not only never get married but never have another romantic relationship, never have children, never even have sex.In the other path you meet the woman of your dreams (that was from my perspective, feel free to change it based on your preferred gender). She's gorgeous, brilliant, fun, kind, and in every way your perfect partner. She's also wildly in love with you. You get married, stay together for the rest of your life, you're so happy that it makes your friends sick, you have children if you like. It's an ideal relationship in every way you can see. The catch is that you never really succeed at anything else you try. You manage to keep a roof over your head and food on the table, but that's about it. You always worry about bills and credit card debt and how you're going to pay for your kids' expenses. Your spouse is supportive and understanding and never blames you, but you always feel like kind of a failure for not being able to provide a better life, and wish you could achieve something in your life that would be noticed outside of your own household.What's interesting to me (and I've only ever asked guys about this), is that I've never met a guy who even had to think about it, they'd all take the second option without question. Some believed that love and family life are the really important things in life. Some thought that wealth and success are meaningless if you never get to have sex again. One way or another, most men I've talked to agree that most of the point of becoming rich and famous is to attract women.To paraphrase Chris Rock, if a man could take a woman home to a cardboard box, he wouldn't bother owning a house.
Being from a poor family, should I pursue what I love rather than doing a job that pays me more?
That's a hard question to answer.Because when passion becomes lust, it grows unarguable.Monetary pleasures do bring happiness, but only in the short run. Passion, love, expression of willingness to stretch yourself beyond the line are what makes you mature, and helps you strive for the longer run.The yard’s short, and the path’s clearly out. I'd advice you to go for the one you love and cherish rather than a better paying one. Because one day, when you start earning more alongside your favorite job, you'd have had started to value money and get the better of what you have.The high paying job could be prescribed if you are in a crisis, but if you can make ends meet and spare a pint of extra bucks, then go for the job you love.
Would you rather earn $300,000 working a job you hate or $150,000 working a job you love? Why?
I currently make less than 30K per year and am currently living off savings paying a mortgage and feeding two kids. And I LOVE it.A good friend offered me a job that would easily be 6 figures running his recruiting practice. I turn it down every six months. Why?Because I’m building a business that is providing jobs for others. I’m building a legacy which are more important than an annual salary. I can always go and find a way to make a salary.You’re going to have to work just as hard for the 300K than the 150K. Better to do work that means something and provides fulfillment.There is a CEO guy I was talking to on LinkedIn and he is getting frustrated with offers of $150K because I guess that’s not a livable wage in Dallas, TX. The guy is delusional. You can live off of $150K in any city in the US. Even NYC, LA, and SF.A single person can live off of $1500 per month in most cities. You shack up with roommates eat canned vegetables and peanut butter.You will be surprised by how inventive you become when you get off the salary tit.You should try it sometime!
