smart nd poor  

Answer 2

Rich and stupid.

Life's too short to stay poor FOREVER.

Answer 3

smart and poor.

considering that's what i consider myself to be right now.  

Answer 4

Rich and stupid since most stupid people do not realize they are stupid. I could have fun with all the money.....

If I was stupid I would know that I was poor and there is no reason for that. So I would have to live with what a failure I was. since I am so smart It would drive me nuts since it would be so clear.

Answer 5

With the right schooling the smart one will have money one day.  

Answer 6

If I were rich I could pay someone to think for me.

Answer 7

A borderline genius (do they even exist?) would be better assuming they did not have a social disorder that would prevent them from making money....I would rather be smart period.  

Answer 8

Dumb and rich please. I'll even take insults. You know a lot of homeless folks are philosophical geniuses. But I don't envy them, because they are also in a nearly inescapable situation.

Answer 9

Ecclesiastes 7:12

For wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] a defence: but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

Everything in the media may say that money brings happiness, but that's a lie.   I know more rich depressed people than I do poor.
