      I would rather not be either! but if i really had to choose definitely poor and happy. My family does not come from a wealthy background at all and scientists although comfortable are certainly not rich but it is always better to do what you love.

      I’ve got much more chance of the latter…… if I could wish for anything in life, it would be happiness. The most difficult thing is realising when you have it…. often you don’t know what you’ve got til its gone!

      I would definitely rather be happy and poor. Its true what they say that money cant buy happiness. Sure, it makes life easier sometimes but happiness should definitely come first.

      Happy and poor! Why would you want money if regardless of what you do with it you are going to be unhappy?

      Wise answers from the team! I think the Beatles also covered this in ‘Can’t buy me love’, shortly before becoming massive billionaires. But the answer is always happy! What are you going to do with all that money if you’re miserable?
