Would you rather be poor or rich?

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm poor and I'd love to be rich!

I'm poor and I love being poor. Who needs all that money?

I'm rich and would never give it up!

I'm rich and wouldn't mind being poor. Too much pressure having all this money!

I've spent most of my life being fairly poor. Sometimes I have money but, most often, I don't. I'd love to be filthy rich but, not out of greed! Mostly just because I'm fucking sick & tired of being poor and having others stomp all over me because I can't afford to do anything to defend myself and, if I was a billionaire, I'd LOVE to go around giving money away to people that REALLY need it!!
Hey, you! In the cardboard box. Here's $100,000, go buy yourself a new house.

Rich as fuck and I would give you a ride in my catamaran.

We will eat like two pigs in a trough.

When my brother and I were little buggers, we each bought a pig. They are lovely and smart. They are much smarter than AOC,

[FunkyMonkee]

Is that you dancing?
Could you make it a dogamaran? I'm allergic to cats.
As long as it's Vincent's Pizza, I'm there!!
There are amoeba on Saturn that are smarter than AOC!!

Voted that I am "poor" and would like to be rich. However, that is not quite right. I make a reasonable living, albeit in a high cost area. (Washington, DC.)

That said, when you have car trouble or some other unexpected problem, you definitely feel the pinch. To wit, I would rather be rich.

Besides, as someone once said, "Money can't buy you happiness, but it can help you choose the kind of misery you want to live in."

As for me I live comfortably as of the moment & I wouldn’t want to be filthy rich but rich enough so I could retire tomorrow & not even have to think about working again.

I don't feel like I can answer bc I don't think I am either poor or rich lol. You know, most people are not either of these two, there should be some other categories in the poll, JMO!

[FunkyMonkee]

It doesn't really matter which you are, it's just, would you like to have more or less than what you've got.

[jshm2]

To be poor means you're always on the opportunity to move up. Being rich means you're always pushing others down to keep yourself rich.

[FunkyMonkee]

Not me! If I was rich, I'd help others to get there. I'm not a greedy miser!!

[Sparkie460]

I'm middle class. I'm not rich or poor. I just want to live comfortably.

[FunkyMonkee]

I suppose I was in a middle class family but, there were loots of times we couldn't afford this or that. Apparently, my grandmother was rich because she was always taking trips to Florida, Texas, California (I think) and England and antique auctions and buying old furniture.
Now, and most of MY life, I'm in the poor bracket! I still can't even afford to buy a headstone for mom's grave, after 7 years.

[Sparkie460]

There's still stuff I can't buy without struggling, even more now since everything went through the roof.

If I were rich I'd have everyone asking me for money. It would be more of a headache for me than not having the money

[FunkyMonkee]

I guess you'd have to keep it a secret! My aunt had at least $9,000,000 but I never knew it `til just after she died!! We never knew where she got all this money because she rarely ever had a job. but, every couple years, she got a brand new car!

[Sparkie460]

Hiding the money under the mattress all those years paid off. Lol

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't know where she hid it but, we never knew about it `til just after she died. Well, a friend of the family knew but no one IN the family, as far as I know.

[Sparkie460]

I wonder if she hid it from the government too. Lol

[FunkyMonkee]

Not that I know of. I'm sure she paid her taxes, up until her last year alive. She was broke, by then. She gave it all away to scammers!

[exitseven]

I would rather be rich. I hv already been poor and I know tht it sucks.

[Stacey55666]

I used to eat macaroni with ketchup. I was poor, but I never knew it. I thought everyone ate macaroni with Ketchup. Now I eat home cooked hamburgers. I'm living the dream.

[exitseven]

@Stacey55666 Nothing quite like a good burger.

[FunkyMonkee]

Me, too!!

[FunkyMonkee]

5 years ago, I was so broke, I had to walk up to the mall (1.5 miles away) every night around 2:00 a. m. and check the drive through windows for loose change!! That's all I had to live on for about a year!! My aunt helped a little when she wasn't throwing her money away on scammers.

[Stacey55666]

I'm leaving for the store soon to get more. My favorite radio guy says the trick Is to melt Velveeta cheese on the patties. He was right!

[Stacey55666]

@FunkyMonkee

I remember riding my bike to find aluminum cans.

@Stacey55666 I used to get a wadded up piece of paper and stick it in the coin slot of a Coke machine. I would come back the next day and fish the money out with a pocket knife

[Stacey55666]

Brilliant. But now I think they take debit cards. lol

[exitseven]

@Stacey55666 I would never but something like a can of soda with a credit card. I have never had a debit card. What do you need with a debit card when you have cash,

[Stacey55666]

Debit cards are a convenience. But I would never pay that much for a soda. I buy a half rack of Shasta diet cola and keep it in the trunk of my car. I used to buy coke until they told their white employees to try and be less white. That was it for me. Shasta all the way, and it tastes the same.

[exitseven]

@Stacey55666 yes, I switched to Pepsi after that.

[Stacey55666]

Pepsi has a different flavor, but I swear that Shasta comes out of the same garden hose as Coke. You should give it a try.

[exitseven]

@Stacey55666 Thanks for the hint.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Stacey55666 I used to do that, too but, you need a huge garbage bag full of them to get about $3.00 and then you'd have to drive several miles away to the place that takes them. It's hardly worth it, especially, when gas costs more than you'll get by driving there to to GET the $3.00. You have to have several full bags to break even and that might takes months to collect.

[FunkyMonkee]

@Stacey55666 Diet anything is bad for you! It has aspartame in it!! You're basically embalming yourself very slowly! Diet shit actually MAKES you fat!!

[FunkyMonkee]

@Stacey55666 I would never drink Coke! In the first place, they put something in ALL of their drinks that fucks up my stomach! About 20 years ago, I used to get Hi-C and a snack during my breaks at work and, as soon as I got back to work, I'd have to rush to the bathroom and spend 20-some minutes blowing gallons of pale red liquid out of my ass!! Then I found out that Coke makes Hi-C and I never touched it again!!
I've also seen people use Coke to clean all the gunk off their car engines!! I can just imagine what that's doing to your stomach!

[FunkyMonkee]

@Stacey55666 I don't know anyone named, Patty. Even if I did, how would I melt the cheese on her?

[Stacey55666]

I agree about diet shit. I mostly drink water or tea.

[AngryCarl2]

I have no desire to worry constantly about keeping a roof over my head, or where my next meal is coming from.

[FunkyMonkee]

Same here!!

[Freedom_Enjoyer]

Imagine spending 1/3 of your life to suck corporate dick and then voting "I'm poor and I love being poor. Who needs all that money?". People are losing their sanity left and right.

born poor grow rich
