OpinionNo, because they are very poor. OpinionThis question has been debated a long time. Bible scholars indicate, Yes, the poor without material goods are happier than rich who are prosperous. Social researchers and psychologists for over half of a century have concluded the same theory. Even today, many people say that "money doesn't buy happiness". Many once poor persons who have won millions in lotteries in the last 15 to 20 years have later lamented that they were happier before riches brought them unwanted attention and the lure of greed. Some of these new billionaires lost their winnings and returned to being poor, speaking then of their regrets of financial mismanagement. Therefore, some could conclude that the old adage "the grass is always greener on the other side", wherever you are, might be true when thinking about whether a poorer person is happier than a richer person.
