Depending on how someone lives, I would say that being born rich gives an exponential amount of opportunity than being born intelligent. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be intelligent and depend on your money heavily, but being born with lots of money is a great start in life. Money is human resources, or societal resources, and to survive in a world where money is dominant and intelligence is a bliss, being born rich is way better.

Fact one is that if you are born rich, you can live a life of comfortability and security. Money is the base and topping of life, without it, you can't survive. If you have one million dollars with an intelligence of a high school drop out, chances are you'll survive longer than a person with one dollar, and an intelligence of a college graduate with a PHD. You see, the rich one could afford a home, food, security and basic human needs. He could also use that money to buy intelligence, so once he has his bases in life, he could drive for more intelligence, while knowing that he has the money to fall back on.

Now, being born with no money, but with lots of smarts is extremely risky. No one hires hobos nowadays, even if it is a smart hobo. You have the brains to live a good life, but money is the fuel, and you can't expect to move far with a little fuel. Also, having a lot of intelligence is not necessarily going to make your life happier. You could learn the terrible things of humans and the world, and how you know that you won't go anywhere far without money. It isn't bad to be intelligent though, but being the modern Einstein without the money is like being a soldier that is completely naked and without cover. Money gives you the basics in life and the luxuries in life, if you have none of that, how will you survive?

Of course its not ALL a bust, you could be born intelligent and still live a great life, it would be a lot harder though, and you'll be a lot more frustrated. Being born rich is much easier, just because everything is in your grasp, and with the money you are starting out with, you could possibly be as intelligent as the one born with no money, but a lot of brains, except have a lot of money too. Being born rich is a blessing and being born intelligent is a challenge, just as being born without mental disorders is a blessing as being born with mental retardation is a challenge. What would your choice be now? Mine would be to have no disorders, thank you.

Also, in this age of life, everything is being
