Which is better?

[Jazzy]

Is it better to be honest and poor, or dishonest and rich? (Please explain your choice)

Depends on what I'm being dishonest about. Did I get rich telling fat women they look skinny in that dress or did I get rich scamming and cheating people out of their hard earned money?

I'd rather be poor with a good heart than rich with a evil heart or heartless...

Did I get rich telling fat women they look skinny in that dress

This is clearly a very good job!

This is my answer as well. I don't think I could be rich and dishonest if I was legitimately scamming people out of their money.

Taking the question in its simplest terms, I am all about honesty. Money cannot make me sacrifice my beliefs. I want the truth, no matter if it's kind or not. The people who know me best are familiar with my mantra: It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to be the truth. When I ask a question, I want the absolute truth, not what someone thinks I want to hear. The same applies here: nothing is worth sacrificing my morals or my beliefs. NOTHING.

Perfect answer and I would have answered the same.

Ive been avoiding this question. Nobody pounce on me but, i rather be dishonest and rich. Its kind of hard and complex to explain why i choose this. So ill leave it like this for now

Well the point I was trying to make in my response was there is levels of dishonesty. Like (for example) you could lie about having a great job on your resume, using that made up job experience to move up in your career field. Something like that hurts and effects nobody. However if your dishonesty caused pain and suffering to others, that's a different story.
