Life means, friendship, age, health, family, self amusment. All them are more important than money. [/B]
Ahh, but therein lies the paradox. Free amusement is hard to come by (at least in my neck of the woods). The cost of friends can even be attributed to having money. For instance, if I couldn't afford the internet, I couldn't have met Stevie. While we don't talk as much as we used to, I still count him a valuable friend. And Stevie is only one of many many great people.

So in truth, the question isn't really a fair question. It should be, which would you rather: not as much money, but a happy life, or Bill Gates rich and lead an unhappy life. There's even a great work of literature dedicated to this subject named Faust. The movie Bedazzled with Elizabeth Hurley is an adaptation of the story.

My brain is roasting from all this thinking...my poor redneck circuits can't handle too much of that
