Only those choices and an explanation if you wish.

Definitely wealthy, if your wealthy and ugly you can buy a makeover, and if you're wealthy you don't need to be a brainiac.
I'll list advantages for all
Wealthy:
Girls will want me
you can afford to buy clothes that make you look good.
you can vacation without worrying about costs
nice car
nice house
chances are you'll end up have a nice wife if you have a good personality and are not a snob
live life knowing you're financially safe
you can afford to have 3 or 4 children and send them off to University to get degree and get awesome jobs to keep the wealth in the family
Being Smart:
you can get straight A's
you can waste money that you don't have on University and probably end up paying a lot of money to loans
you have to compete with a lot of other smart people for the same jobs
being good looking:
girls will want me
I think there are a lot more benefits to being rich especially in todays society.
And besides I may not be a sexy stud, but I'm in good shape and all I have to do is lose about 25 pounds and I would most likely be a lot happier with myself, so looks is something I can fix fairly easily.
And intelligence wise I'm smart enough to get a job as an powerline worker, I'm beginning an apprenticeship soon.
So I chose the wealthy because I know I would be happier because I wouldn't have to worry about whether I'm going to be able to provide a Christmas for my children, or barely able to pay the bills. It would be a better all around family life. If I was wealthy I would focus all my efforts into making sure my family is happy. Which wouldn't always mean going on trips but the security of knowing that we will have a place to live, and the kids will be able to participate in sports and other activities. The most important thing for me right now is seeing others happy. Seeing other people happy makes me happy.

At 25 I was called beautiful. Nice, but didn't help my life one bit. At 37 I discovered I had a brain, At 71 I live in low income housing!! I would love to be wealthy.

Smarter.... Not that I'm dumb but with brains i can be the next Bill Gates and have all the money in the world and run it! Beauty? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but if I'm not happy with my looks i can take my Bill Gates $$ and visit Dr . 90210... Dr Rey here I come!

If I had to choose between those 3, I'd pick wealthy, cause these days you can buy the other two. Now if health, family or something REALLY important was on the list, it'd be another story!

Smarter. Because I have always had to struggle to learn anything. My sister on the other hand was born with brains AND beauty. I'd just like to know, for once, what it's like to learn new things so easily.

That's a hard one because you didn't say 'if you didn't have any of the three to start with.' I'm happy with my looks, and I'm smart, but my looks are my set-back in life. I'm a petite female that wants a career in a strictly male profession. I went to college for engineering, and graduated with honors, but that doesn't matter because I'm female. Since I wouldn't change anything about myself as far as looks and smarts, I'd have to opt for wealthy. Then I wouldn't have to worry about the problems I have now.

I would be smarter because intelligence and education are more important than being beautiful. And intelligence usually brings wealth, just ask Bill Gates.

Wealthy, if you have money you can do anything you want, you don't need to be smart or beautiful, but you could hire people to tell you that you are!

Smarter surely. A smart person knows how to look good & make money.
