But would u really be happy?
honestly one of my toxic traits is that i lie quite a lot so i’d say honest and poor
The thing is in the future I may take a paycut for a job considered 'honest' because it might make me feel good about myself. Who knows. I'm happy at the £30-50k bracket which I don't think is considered Rich?

Depends what you mean by rich. I am rich by most peoples standards, but I would not say I was wealthy. I still work full time and my pension is bad. But I have three healthy children and they are all employed and happy. ( For me their health and happiness means more than anything)

Ok to be fair my opinion once a kid gets thrown into the spanner my thoughts will likely change for their future. However whilst I'm a single pringle I'm ok with the way I think now because I only need to look after myself.

Too right - there is some weird metamorphosis once you have kids - from being an irresponsible semi alcoholic who parties late into the night, only changes their underwear when absolutely necessary and can exist on a tube of pringles for several days, you become this school obsessed, target attaining tiger parent who will fiercely defend their little darlings to the death despite them being some throwback to Damian
Honest and poor
But the definition of poverty is subjective so I'd be rich in my sphere of thought which may not seem so to others.
Dishonest and rich, Being honest is not necessarily a good trait, nor is dishonest always bad

If you're too honest you will probably get taking advantage of at your own expense so it's not always a good trait I agree. Depends heavily on circumstances.

Yep once I have kids I will settle down and be a good boy and maximise the amount of opportunities my kids can get, and hopefully they beat me in every single characteristic. (I'm 22 so I think I only have a few years of stupidity left in me. :lol: )
