Of course money can buy a whole lot of things! But likewise, there is still a whole lot it can't buy! Good brains if well utilized can get you money :-) But a fOOL with money is simply a disaster waiting to happen. :-) C'mon now...one does have to wonder how said 'fool' came by the money. ;-) Just sayin.

Thanks for clarifying...apparently it saves a bit of misunderstanding when specifics are stated. :-)

Rather a high IQ I would rather have common sense. I agree with you about common sense. I've been around a few people with high IQ's who seem to lack basic common sense...How about you??

Well, they say ignorance is bliss, so I think I'd rather have the money. Those who say money can't buy happiness, well, they aren't trying hard enough!!

Money or IQ? I had both of them, one at a time, and I lost them both, one at a time. I have my memories, though, and my still photographs. A lavender-scented old kerchief in the bottom of a woven wicker handbasket... a Bible with a dried-out pressed rose in it to mark Mark, 24:545 to 24:566.

Would you prefer to have been born into money? Or would you prefer to have been born with a high IQ? Both would be great, but choose one and why? Definitely money. Money can get you what you want; including a chance to improve your IQ.

Money can get you what you want; including a chance to improve your IQ. You are not kidding. Albert Einstein was born a veritable imbecil. He was not able to speak until he turned four years of age. normal kids begin with rudimental speech at 19 months, and can speak simple sentences by 24 months of age. Einstein's parents bought him an enire set of encyclopediae, they bought him puzzles, and forced him to learn how to play cribbage and chess, while other people forced their kids to study the piano. According to his own admission, he said he owed getting some of the bigger points in his IQ by never studying religion, and not going to Saturday School. (He was Jewish.) And by staying out of the military.
