Advantages to being poor:
1) You don't have much to lose - at rock bottom, the only place you can go is up. With nothing to lose, you're wide open to taking chances, open to opportunities you might otherwise ignore.
2) You never have to worry that your friends only hang out with you because you have money. You never have to worry that your wife is a gold-digger.
3) Without many material possessions, you can stop worrying about a lot of things. If you don't have a house, a washing machine, or a car, you don't have to worry about fixing those things. If you also don't have a family to support, you can travel the world on cheap - there's nothing to tie you down. You can always find something to eat, and that's all you really need.
Being poor also helps you appreciate the truly meaningful things in life. Even so, I wouldn't want to be poor my whole life - money can make life more enjoyable. It's only when money becomes your God that it's a problem.

James ,
I do not know what the person you need to convince is smoking.
But money ranks right up there with Oxygen and love. Been poor know some of the best bridges and shelters to bed down at and i enjoy the Hiltons much better.
this bs about poor folks having better family relations is just that bs. they back stab just as good if not better than any 'rich' person i've meet.
sorry can't give any good fertilizer for this debate.

Sorry but I've been both and rich is much better. The only good think about being poor was it really made me appreciate being rich.

God thinks it is better to be rich. He MAY be right.
“The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” Proverbs 22:7
