Rich and sad, or poor and happy?

[dumb_ricer]

If you had to choose between one of the two, which would you choose?


For comparisons sake lets say this in each situation:

A. (Rich and Sad) You are 30 years old, had married a woman you were very very deeply in love with, and she decided to cheat on you, tell you that she never loved you, and blew her brains out right in front of you. You also just lost your mother and father in a car accident, and you have no grandparents, brothers or sisters, and you are unattractive. When your wife died, you inherited a sum of money so large that you could never fully use all of it.

B. (Poor and Happy) Your income is limited to 7500 dollars a year, but you have to work full time and overtime to achieve that amount of money, but you get to choose what you want to do for a living and have generally good luck with things.


One side of me would rather be sad and rich as hell, (greedy side) but the other side says poor and happy would be overall better.
