I think it's better to be well respected because what's the point of being rich and having people hate and disrespect you. It's good to be wealthy and all but respect goes a long way.

well respected because if you were just wealthy then people wouldnt respect you, they would only use you for your money. being well respected, people would like you for who you are and not what you are made out of.

It's better to be well respected because sure, if you're wealthy you can fufill your wants and desires, but to receive respect, you must give it first, therefore, if you had to chose between respected, or wealth, your wealth is clearly getting in the way of being respected. And sure, you could pay people to respect you, but they'd respect you for your money, not who you are. They would only respect you because you're paying them to do so.

I think it is better to be well respected. If you have money but no respect everyone will just hate you. To me respect goes a lot further than money.

It's better to be well respected because without it, you're a nobody nobody cares for you. Even if you have money. Life.

It is better to be well respected because if you are rich then people might just want you for your money and not because they respect you. When your rich people tend to take advantage of your friendship by taking your money. But if you have the respect of people you know then they are your friends because of the respect that they have for you.

i deffintaly think you cant be happy without the other. but if it came down to it i would rather have money...sometimes people just wont respect you no matter what you do or how hard you try.

Both options have their benefits of course, but the way I see it is, if I am wealthy... why in the world care about what ANYONE else thinks about me? I've made it, I have loads of money don't I? All that people strive for in their lives is to be succesful and reach the point of self reliance, where they can support themselves properly and also own as much of anything as possible. Once a person reaches that... there's not much else to ask for in life. Respect is nice, but money is good livin'... Living is a need, respect is simply a disire.

Is better to be wealthy because getting respect is about you give respect first. is about character and what kind of person you are.so i rather be wealthy but i know if i become wealthy i will get respect if i want i would even buy respect.

because i think that if you're wealthy people will respect you because in the end everyone cares about who has the most money and how they can get it from the other person.
