Sure, because they already have it.
And whoever said "money doesn't buy happiness" wasn't a poor person either! (Not that I think it can.)

Possibly. Harder for them to admit that monetary wealth is not a blessing, I suspect. That is, the way you worded it, they would be admitting that wealth is the ONLY blessing of significance to them, and I doubt they would do that.
Both rich and poor know that love and knowledge and spiritual development and honor and courage and all those good intangibles are more important than money. The only difference is the rich don't have to worry about money all the time, and have conflicts amongst their various values.
If only they would all recognize the spiritual benefits of generosity! Most of them already know the tax benefits, of course . . .

Yes, but its just as easy for a poor or moderately wealthy person to say the same thing.

Yes, it is....
Probably a bit harder for the starving mother and her starving children to agree with. Then the idea of the meek inheriting the earth and blessings from the lord being spiritual and all that tripe probably just sounds offensive. Then again, maybe it is extreme suffering that in the past led to extreme faith....

It's easy for me to say, too. "blessings don't equal monetary wealth". There, I said it.

not if they came from a poor family who had to work there ways to where they are now. or if they were from a rich family but have none because thier family has left because of money or because money buys nothing but more junk you dont need...
if your having a money problem look at this way ...
"What do you have in your life that money cant buy"
really think about it... youll be suprised how much youll appreciate what you do have ..i know i do...seeya

Yes, it is. But, wealthy people are cursed. Look at Bush and Cheney, and the Kennedys. Are these people happy people? Cheney tries to fill his empty soul with extreme dove hunting, the Kennedys are known to have tried to fill theirs with hookers, and Bush was known to try to fill his with Cocaine.
So, neither power nor money = happiness.

It's easy for anyone to say if their priorities are in order.
