answer:Well, I’ve never been rich but I have been poor in monetary terms. Never poor in spirit or joy. So I will bet on the poor. The one good thing about being poor is everyone who is in the same boat as you accepts you as you are. There is no cause for pretense to get something from you. So you know the people by your side don’t have a motive other than they like you. Really like you. And those that don’t leave. Nothing to keep them around you. You still have stresses, like paying the bills, keeping employed, surviving. But there is also a larger sense of community. When you don’t have much you are happy with what you have. You are grateful for your meals, a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear and a job to go too. (not all poor people of course and the same goes for all rich people) But it seems the more people have the more they are always trying to get because they are never satisfied. Some of my happiest moments where when I was at my poorest. Living on change till payday. Just needing enough money to buy some bread and eggs and balony sandwich meat. I remember not being sad because there was nothing to eat, but being happy that I was able to find enough lose change to buy those things since payday was 2 days away. It still makes me laugh at the joy I had. You would’ve thought I won the lottery. My first xmas there, I was able to buy a small turkey and make some potatoes from a potato mix. We got some sodas and you would think I made a meal for king, the way our guest gushed all over the food. We played music and danced and played games. Our guest bought the booze so I’m sure that had something to do with it. But everyone was happy and the next day they said they had the time of their lives. They were almost as poor as we were. We lived in a small unheated trailer but with so many guest, the trailer was warm. It was my first xmas from home and my first xmas with my husband and I was thrilled. I know how to be happy with what I have, so long as everyone I love is healthy and happy too. You learn to live in the moments that are big or small.
