Health Vs Wealth

I'm gonna assume that 'wealth' means financial wealth.

I believe that both is important.
You cannot afford not to have either. If you take life as a road and take yourself as a wheel that's rolling down this road, wouldn't you want your wheel to be as round as possible, so that you can roll along smoothly?

My own wheel does not only contain 'health' and 'money', but also 'emotional health', 'contribution' and 'life fulfillment'.
Imagine each of those attributes were a part of the wheel. Now imagine that some of those attributes are weak and small, while others are large and big. With that kind of wheel, life will be one heck of a bumpy ride, wouldn't it?

I'm going to add something just for arguements' sake.

I find that prioritising Health over Financial Wealth is a very selfish.

Why? Because it only effects you.

Let me put it this way: If I were to die at 30 years old with 5 million dollars in my bank, and I were to give half to my family and the other half to charities, how many people will I benefit?

Yea, true, I screwed up my health, however, because I have so much more financial leverage than the average person, my so called demise would actually benefit the welfare of many many others.

Just a thought ^^
