Would you Rather....

I was asked an interesting question recently... Would you rather be rich but have your marriage fall apart OR be middle income and happy.

Money is the root of all evil. There are days when I daydream about what I would do if I won the lottery. With the lottery in my future, I picture pure happiness. How could you not be happy with so much money? It seems that the majority of problems arise from from money or lack thereof. For starters, I would buy a house near my family and friends. I would quit my job and travel the world. I would donate money to some of my favorite charities that I believe in (but have never been able to donate to for the lack of money mentioned above) like March of Dimes, Breast Cancer etc. I would drive a bangin' vehicle! Like a Range Rover. Oh and the purses that I could buy! Not to mention the wardrobe I would be rocking!

But even with all the things I would have, I know that I would not be truly happy. Sure my money problems would go away but I would be faced with new challenges. In the words Notorious B.I.G, "Mo money Mo problems." Our prblems would not go away, we would only be faced with new and probably bigger problems.


So I think I would rather be middle income and be truly happy. I have always said its the little things that make me happy. I do not need all the material things (and amazing purses) that money can buy. I am a content person. I prefer a Double-Double from In-N-Out over a pricey steak dinner any night!
