I too am poor but happy, however I do strive to be rich. Through work endeavors or lottery wins. But I do like having money too. I'm basically comfortable but can't purchase big things without a plan of attack. Like I need tires before winter and it's getting closer. Really 2 are bad but i have all wheel drive so i have to come up with money to buy 4. That's hard cause i wanted to refinance my car and i need money for that too. I am generally happy but i don't like being poor.
